Despite my
recent move, which means that I’m now much further away from the nearest
supermarket (see ruraljoy )
I’m not about to change from doing my weekly shop in person, to ordering online.
I’ve heard
tales from friends and family, bemoaning incomplete orders and poor
substitution of products, which certainly don’t inspire me to join the online
shopping revolution.
OK I know
that for every negative story that I hear, there are probably many positive
experiences to be shared, but my aversion to online supermarket shopping goes
much deeper than all that.
The problem
is I’m a very fussy shopper (you may have realised that by now if you’re a
regular reader of my blog) and take great pains to select the right items fit
for my shopping trolley. I turn over many a bunch of bananas, bag of potatoes,
pack of meat etc before making my final choice. The thought of someone else
making these decisions for me brings me out in a cold sweat – I need to be in
control of the shopping!
Well, maybe
that sounds a bit extreme, but there’s no getting away from the fact that I
like what I like – and I quite like to shop. So no matter how much longer it
may now take to get to the shops or how far the distance involved, I will
continue to trawl the supermarket aisles and fill my trolley with exactly what
I want.
Are you a
fussy shopper?
