A female reporting in.
Women - it’s not only produce. March on over to the baking isles. Several times in years passed while shopping in this particular isle, men have come forward asking what type of flour does my woman need?
MEN: for those who might be sent on an errand without adequate information, there are several types of flour, so you’d best ask your woman (wife) WHICH TYPE before you travel to the super market. All Purpose, Bread, Self Rising, Cake flour. Flour has as many varieties as the flowers in a garden. If there were no women in that isle to ask, what do you do and whom do you ask? When asking anyone, at least KNOW the what is being made which requires this ingredient.
I was going to give the exact same advice. I get approached in the baking aisle all the time, 3 to 4 on a Saturday afternoon also seems to be prime time.
Also, some of the local grocery stores have places where you can eat purchased wine and food. One supposedly has the best happy hour crowd in its neighborhood. I see a group of young men with a six pack of beer, a couple bags of chips and dip sitting at centrally located tables at the store by me all the time. It’s definitely cheaper, great people watching and they can have a conversation without shouting.
