If you were lost in a supermarket, where would you be found?

DH once said that if he lost me in a supermarket he would look for the aisle containing the air freshener's and I would be there. I laughed and told him not to be silly. Yesterday I was in Asda with DD getting a few bits and we became separated. After a while she found me and said "I knew exactly where you would be......." And there I was smelling all the various sprays, candles, reeds, plug-ins etc. hmm

In the children's clothes section. I can't resist looking at things for my 5 gorgeous granddaughters even if I don't buy anything for them. DH always says he'll know where to find me.

Yes,Roses. Talking about the poor woman over by the door crying her eyes out.

Sorry Jingl, I didn't offer you the same assistance, but had you stopped by the cafe, would have pointed out how good the pastries were.smile

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 16-Oct-15 11:32:39

Thank you Marmark. smile

I would be in the cafe with you Marmark, tucking into a latte and a pecan Danish.

Ah! Jinglebells,I would help you if I saw you.
I would be in the cafe reading the Mail,if I could find one.(very popular paper) or in the sweets isle.

I too would be in the wine aisle, eyeing up what fizz was on offer. I'm not a big fan of Cava and can't afford Champagne but would be looking for a reasonably priced Prosecco.

I am not the one who gets lost. It's usually DH

Bread, I just love the stuff but always having to watch the calories so I just linger to savour the fabulous smells and occasional sample ha, ha

Taking refuge in the nearest pub.

My grandma ate masses of bananas auntbett she had them on porridge, on toast, in a sandwich and sometimes just on their own. She too would panic if she got down to the last few and would ring me at 7 am on a sunday morning just to tell me she was running low grin

I would be standing by the door waiting to be collected by DD. And trying not to cry.

auntbett Thu 15-Oct-15 14:16:43

Fruit! I seem to buy stacks of bananas every week and now get quite distressed if it's down to just a couple in the fruit bowl. Sad, I know, but I think my son's got a long way to go on the evolutionary line and he has got long arms.

Wine ailse for me. blush. I'm fascinated by all the different regions. I would love visit some of the vineyards.

Gardening section in spring/summer, chocolate section the rest of the year.

I used to lose my daughter often in Sainsbury's....no phone signal in there.....I don't know if she thought she'd lost me, but I was found near the Customer Service desk, where I had asked them to call her over the loudspeaker system!

ga
There is a huge Asda near Bristol; very occasionally I may go in there but it does get me agitated as it is like a mall and I can never find anything.

What Grannyknot said.
Some years ago I had a meltdown in an aisle of tinned tomatoes because the choice was so overwhelming (I was ill at the time) and was tearfully led back to the car by one of my sons whilst the Wonderful Man finished shopping. blush

Next to the hot chickens, not in freezer or chilled aisles!

ajanela Thu 15-Oct-15 10:30:08

The books and reduced section. In a DIY store DH would be in the screws and nails Section.

greatmum Wed 14-Oct-15 21:45:20

In cafe too ! Texting my other half if he is with me !

Grannyknot Wed 14-Oct-15 21:19:55

I'd be impatiently waiting by the exit grin

I don't like huge supermarkets, I find them overwhelming. Wahay too much choice!
