Re: Chaos!
Food shopping I hate but there is a small Co-Op near me and I've never had any problems there.Same with Tesco online shopping - they always arrive within the one hour time slot you specify, so I don't mind paying the delivery charge and I trust them.
I used to go further afield to Morrisons, Tesco and Waitrose but am crippled by my panic attacks and ill health in general.
I do go to M & S when I am near one like yesterday when I went to the shopping centre that is Ocean Terminal - same place where I got my new shoes. I always feel limited in what I can buy due to it being too heavy in 2 shopping bags even though they are the tough bag for life ones. My Waitrose shopping bag is made of jute and I'm quite fond of it. I've used it to pack in stuff before my hospital stays.

Re: Chaos!
I love a bargain...I’m a mug for supermarket offers.The minute I walk in, trolley in tow, I make a beeline for the ends of the aisles, to see what bargains I can pick up (please don’t mistake this for the ‘reduced’ shelf. I’m not so tight that I’d buy a month-old artichoke for 6p).
The supermarkets have clearly cottoned on to this, as the offers are getting more and more outlandish.
Not too long ago, I came across a Buy 6, get 6 Free! offer on Müller Fruit Corners. “Fantastic!” I thought, and promptly bought 24. Of course,
I hadn’t considered that I would need to eat 4 of my hastily-purchased novelty yoghurts every day just to keep on top of things. And of course, I hadn’t considered that I would forget about them until Wednesday, meaning I had to eat 8 a day to stop a yoghurt colony forming in my fridge. By Sunday I had Müller goodness leaking out of my eyes.
But I never learn. I came across another offer recently that seemed too good to pass up: Buy one get one free! on 450g packets of Sugar Puffs. Now, that may not seem too bad until you consider that that’s almost a kilogram of Sugar Puffs. Do you know how much Sugar Puffs weigh? Nothing.
They have to tie the packets to the shelves to stop them from floating off. I had just bought 8 million Sugar Puffs and two months later I was still eating the buggers.
It’s no wonder that Honey Monster looks the way he does; I’m beginning to go a bit fuzzy around the edges myself. I don’t really like Sugar Puffs..

Plenty of choice available online.
