I've been taking note of what people are purchasing at stores lately and I find the amount of items rather perplexing. For instance the woman in front of me at Shoppers (Drugstore) bought 7 bottles of Jergens hand lotion with the pump......it takes me close to 3 months to use one of those suckers sometimes longer. What the hell does she need 7 for? Such things do have an expiry date after all. Next my brow stared to furrow at Sobeys (grocery store) as I watched the woman in front of me place 20 yes 20 cans of Arizona Iced Tea on the conveyor belt. I'm sure she saw me judging her as my eyes expanded while counting the enormous cans. Those things are close to 700 ml each.
I'm not even going to mention the people I see with packages upon packages of TV dinners loading up their carts. Hungry Man seriously.....last time I checked the nutritional contents of a dinner it had well over 40 grams of fat and close to 900 calories. If that is all you're going to eat at least pretend that it's not and buy one or two at a time every day. Maybe throw in an orange for good measure. For the love of god don't fill up your entire cart with such "meals."
Okay now I'm getting off topic and rambling on about nutrition which nobody wants to be lectured on. Come to think of it, perhaps the Jergens lady had a store and was selling the lotion herself or perhaps the Arizona lady was having a party and needed mix. Who knows, but either way I was staring and surely making faces at their purchases cause to me Judgey Mc Judgey they seemed excessive.

Maybe Jurgens lady has many sons and they are the ones using all the hand lotion.
Or maybe she's a compulsive hand lotioner.
Or maybe she has a freaky skin condition. My aunt, who is a nurse, told me about this one patient who she refered to as snakelady. Skin like a snake. Always have to lotion the skin.
Maybe she was going to fill her bathtub up with the lotion and soak in it.
The Jergens makes no sense . . . maybe if it was a man. A lonely man. Ha.
And I occasionally eat a Hungry Man dinner as the salisbury steak takes me back to middle school. I'm not proud.
"Judgey Mc Judgey" ha You were merely "observing", right? I don't understand that bulk buying either unless you have 5 or 6 kids, etc.
Miss Ash, superhero to those in need of smart grocery purchases.
WIGSF, it's true, perhaps she had some weird condition that needed lotioning.
Rawbean, that brings me to the quesiton, if you could swim in any liquid what would it be. I'll make that a future post.
2DP, men are nasty! As for the Hungry Man can't say as I've had one but I will admit the cheesy fries do look rather tempting.
JLee, yeah I'd get it if it was toilet paper or something like that but lotion, iced tea??
Wiwille, yes since 1954!
