Not necessarily true...
I love to cook and prefer it over the frozen crap as ya never quite know what ingredents are being used... | |

Posted: 5/12/2007 1:18:35 PM | | I'm not really in the habit of picking guys up at the grocery store, but if I were I'd check the cart to see what's in there. If there are any feminine products (like ladies deoderant, pads, tampons, yeast infection cures etc. etc.) or condoms I'd assume he's taken (or at least sleeping with someone) so I'd move on. I'd also check to see if he has a lot of kids products (diapers, wipes, kid shampoo, kid's cereal etc). That could be a sign he's taken too, unless he's a single father, but at my age I'm not ready to date a guy with kids, so even if he was single I'd move on. | |

lol
My cart these days is fish, fruit and veggies. I don't know what that says. | |

Posted: 5/12/2007 5:26:21 PM | I always put tampons in my cart to keep all the lovely foxy beautiful women from hitting on me...geeze, I'm here to buy food for heavens sake...
OMG...those lovely foxy beautiful women have something I love eating...
Damn, I make Homer Simpson look smart sometimes... | |

Posted: 5/12/2007 6:04:11 PM | The other day I was behind a young guy in the checkout line and noticed that he was buying huge quantities of cat food and tampons. I'm not sure what kind of "fun" was awaiting him at home, but unfortunately I think he saw me (almost involuntarily) laugh.  | |

Posted: 5/12/2007 6:22:09 PM | I actually thought about this last time I went shopping. I had to smile. My cart has small quantities of veggies and fresh meat and the staple frozen meals.. So obviously a man living alone. But when I am stocking up for my daughter's visits I add the whole milk, juicy juice, and various kiddie snacks. My cart is so completely obvious. haha.
On the kiddo stocking days I usually end up having a conversation or two, and always with the check out lady (I tend to the females because all of the males working in the grocery stores are completely Emo ...and I'd rather smile...) | |

Posted: 5/12/2007 8:16:58 PM | Oh man...
That is so funny...kind of explains why I know I can go to the grocery store and not be bothered....hell just the fact that my skin is sensitive and I can't use garbage like Irish Spring or Dial and have to buy Dove for sensitive skin and the only lotion I can use when I get a dry patch has to be a specific oil of olay thing that won't make my skin break out....
And I buy fresh fruits, veggies and all the other stuff including...gasp! cleaning supplies like toliet bowl cleaner (although the tree outside seems not to like it...) and I'm a single guy....
Too funny...from now on, first thing I do is go to the tampon aisle, throw a box of absolute super absorbent I hate you I love you go F yourself super soakers, then get a bottle of maximum strength pamprin, toss in 5 tubs of Ben & Jerry's, a copy of the latest cosmo and then go into a fetal position and rock back in forth in the corner of the store...
When a woman approaches me and asks me what's wrong...I'll tell her I couldn't find the single edge razors and I won't go home if I can't have something to slice my wrists....maybe I'll get a phone number! 
However, like it has been said "Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are"
That quote from 18th century French gastronome Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin that opens each show of Iron Chef (sorry but Iron Chef America SUCKS!).
So if I see a woman with a cart full of frozen dinners, a case of Masingeil, a copy of cosmo, a case of beer, a 5th of Jack Daniels...I'll pass...
Cheers! | |

Posted: 5/12/2007 10:33:52 PM | That's hilarious! I actually look at what people (not just guys) are getting all the time--and I do make judgements... but I'm a fitness professional so I call it professional interest. And you can pretty much surmise that someone who fills their cart with processed meat, kraft dinner, chips and pop doesn't care about their health as much as someone who loads up with organic produce, fair trade coffee, yogurt and whole grain foods.
...and I always look for the line-ups at the tills with men in them--9 times out of 10 they only have a couple of items... the majority of men will go in, get a few things they need, and get the hell out... | |

Posted: 5/13/2007 12:51:47 AM | I love to see what others buy at the grocery store and what people will spend on food, even if they buy all junk...shakes on head.
I wouldn't dismiss any man what he has in the grocery cart, and if a conversation starts, we might even discuss what he might be cooking. I will admire a man who buys vegetables, fruits, grains to chicken, fish or meat, and who know's he might just offer me a meal and we can cook together...naaahh!! Hitting his shopping cart is another way to grab any man attention..NOT!!! | |

Posted: 5/13/2007 12:20:42 PM | I'll be at the Sweet Bay in Hyde Park in about an hour...I'm out of most of my bread making supplies...I'll let everyone know how my theory works in practice, but if memory serves me correct, that store does actually have single edge razors and someone might just go and get them for me.
I read on here where someone just said 'pop' and I've been down here about 1.5 years and still get picked out as a midwestern boy for saying that. It's soda or coke (regardless of what flavor it actually is...i.e. orange coke sprite coke) down here. I just read pop and had to see where you were from...didn't realize Canadians also called it pop.
Cheers! | |

How'd it get dirty in the first place?
And the theory worked wonders, only problem the cashier gave me a weird look when I told her I didn't need the tampons, Midol, the Ben & Jerry's or the Cosmo...then I told her my theory...
After she stopped laughing she told me the best times to come in and not have to worry about it...
Cheese! | |
