Ain’t that the truth? Made a bet with my ex-wife one time: we’d go shopping at our local Delvita (a now-defunct grocery chain here), and I’d have all the items in less than 10 minutes. Sure enough, when I’d gathered up everything, she was still deliberating over whether she wanted chocolate, strawberry or blueberry yogurt and which brand thereof.

Great story! She should have made that choice before entering the store. Then it won't matter even if your grocery store chain, like mine, completely rearranges their stores once or twice a year. You still know what you want. Not that something won't catch my eye now and then, but I don't go browsing for it. The only place I shop "leisurely" is a used bookstore!

Yes, used bookstores for shopping! I'm with you. If you're ever in the Philly area, check out Baldwin's Book Barn in West Chester, PA. It's a wonderful place where you can spend hours. Besides being an outstanding antiquarian bookstore, it's in gorgeous countryside in Chester County.
