  OK.  Has anyone bought a bag of carrots lately?  I mean, now you get the scrawniest, most pathetic carrots you have ever seen.  What happened the beautiful carrots that had some substance to them?  And, the stores only carry one brand, so it isn't like i can opt to pay more to get some healthy, nice looking carrots.

The carrots in stock have been stored all winter. The biggest and best are packaged and shipped first, we are getting the punny ones this time of year.

I annoys me too. I like big fat carrots in everything. :)

On Monday I went shopping, and I was in the produce section with all the little islands, right, and Ingo around one to where thebtomatoes and stuff are, and right there, in the alley, were a guy and a girl, both probably in their 30's, and the girl was fondling his package. Right there. Next to the tomatoes and melons.

That's nasty, Dona.

I buy organic carrots, they are always oddly shaped.

The one thing that really ticks me off about grocery shopping is when people park their cart in the middle of the aisle and just stand next to it, staring at canned goods.

Yes, Tangerine, and those people who slowly wander the aisles with a look on their face that says: So, this is what a supermarket looks like....

Go to a farmers market to get your produce. You live in PA. There has to be somewhere around you to go. Right?

  I don't like the baby carrots.  I don't think they have as much flavor.  And, i don't want to pay more for organic, just some good quality carrots.  Is that too much to ask in life?  lol

 This makes me laugh.  The baby carrots are just the salvaged good bits of really ugly regular carrots.

Have you seen the woman on FB having a hissy over her grocery store moving things?

She's funny but you still want to slap her.

Doesn't your store also carry "fresh" carrots? Farther down the aisle, probably next to the lettuces. They have the green tops still on them. When you get these home, cut the greens off (they rob the carrots of their sweetness).

I always buy the baby carrots. They are great to snack on & I use them in soups, pot pies, etc. Sometimes they are a biotch to chop. They are little escape artists.

I don't either.  It has been years since I stepped foot in a grocery store.  But, get this.......I am off work next week & I was thinking that maybe mid-week in the middle of the day when it isn't too crowded I might actually go to Harris Teeter.  There are a few things I can't get delivered & I was thinking about stocking up.  Using a vacation day to grocery shop.....crazy right?

Lexxy, have you ever seen carrot chips? They're good. Sometimes baby carrots can be a bit slimy...

I like the ripply chips & the match sticks too.  I have a hard time getting the match sticks.  They always seem to be out of stock.

 Maybe she wanted to figure out what size bananas to buy ..

or maybe cucumber?

And clueless about how grocery shopping works. This cannot be the first time she pulled that stunt. I'm pretty sure normal people would react exactly like you & the other shopper did. Or more harshly like some of us with apparent anger management issues.

This is where stabbing would work. Or perhaps a stun gun.

Can I say that if you actually waited 6 minutes, you have the patience of a saint. I'd have cut the bitch after 1.

 That is crazy. I usually don't carry my spork when I'm grocery shopping, though.

I'd just said excuse me and do what riding did.

Fun thing about having to use the scooter carts, if someone is in the way and won't move, after a proper amount of time, you just square up with it and push.

I don't mind shopping if the store isn't crowded. I do dislike bringing groceries home and putting them away.
