Grocery Store Snob??

I always look at what other people put on the check out conveyor belt and think OMG look at all of that carp!!! Then they buy the diet soda lol..as if that will cancel out the garbage or something lol I do it all the time. Can't help myself.

I'm going to the store after work. I'm most likely going to buy a frozen pizza and ice cream. This is a very healthy option - for me that is.

Here's the thing. I'm running a 5K, doing a yoga class (don't judge), and playing pick up soccer for a few hours tomorrow. Excessive fats and carbs (sugar) will give me the energy I need.

Don't judge my heart by my cart.

hahaha no that job is up to your cardiologist :laugh:

I only notice when their cart is JAM PACKED to the hilt with pure junk food. -And then I wonder where the party is.

I do the same thing ... and if I have to pick up some kind of junk for a friend or something, I feel like I'm being judged.

My cart always has a mix of both... But I rarely pay attention to what others are buying, and I figure everybody else is pretty much the same... I'm not self conscious at all...

This makes no sense. What makes you think your children will starve if you feed them healthy food?

My son is super picky... he has missed a few dinners in his short lifetime but he's never missed a healthy breakfast and his lunch box is usually empty. Most of the time he will eat dinners I prepare and if not, no sweat. Be hungry for tonight. He will be starved for nutrients for the rest of his life if I feed him what he wants to eat, better he go without for the day instead.

What? Please tell me this is a sarcastic comment.

No it isn't . If my son misses a meal I don't sweat it. He will eat at the next meal. Missing a meal isn't a big deal.

True story. If I didn't like what my mom cooked, which was often because she wasn't a very good cook, I didn't get any alternatives and no dessert.

Oh we had to sit in the corner till we at everything!! Even liver with onions!! YUCK!! By the time I gave in that liver was cold and like leather. Not that it wasn't like leather to begin with. And my mother was the worst cook by the way. Burned everything or over cooked it till it was stiff as a board! We all had to spend time in that corner at least once or twice a week. We learned quickly how to sneak it to the dog under the table. My brothers used to claim they were allergic to gravy or mashed potatoes thinking they could get out of eating it lol. Never worked.:laugh: :laugh:

I seriously wonder what types of grocery stores you all shop at,where people have nothing better to do than judge your cart as you unload.

Oh come on, like you don't look out of curiosity!

Its not that I don't look...its just that I don't care. Why does it matter to me what they put into their bodies? Not affecting me in the slightest.

No ice cream or pizza?

Disappointed.

I ate most of the focaccia bread with olive oil instead of pizza for my carbs and fats. And I got the giant brownie for sugar. They were the the bakery items that didn't sell so they discounted them. I'm a sucker for a deal.

I have a great fruit and veggie shop up the road where I do all my healthy shopping but it has expensive junk food so whenever I want some I go to the regular supermarket and that is all I buy.

I have a large family and some days I go in to buy "meal items" (veggies, dairy, spices etc) and other times I go in to get "snack items" (sweet cereals they eat for desserts once in a while, cheese its, lunchables (they get one ever few months as a snack), frozen pizzas, wine for me, fruit snacks (i used them a lot to potty train my 3 yr old) etc. SOme days my cart is pure healthy and the other days it is all junk food. I am sure I get looks.

We don't drink soda very often in our house, (the kids are allowed 1 soda on the weekend and it cannot have caffeine) But I think about the times that I have stocked up for a party (2 or 3 12 packs) and It is embarrassing to have all that soda in the cart.

Just remember- someone could be buying all of the junk food to last a month or all of the soda for a large party. My husband and kids eat junk for snacks but healthy unprocessed meals are mandatory. My vice is the starbucks (i get a kid size to cut calories) or the almond ring at the bakery.

This is me. Sometimes my cart is almost exclusively "good" stuff (produce, meats, etc). Sometimes it is heavy on the "junk" like cookies and crackers. I buy soda when it is on sale, 4 cases for $12 is a DANG GOOD price here, but you have to buy 4 (it's something like buy 3 get the 4th free), and it lasts us at least a month. I do the same with ice cream, crackers and cookies, I stock up when it's a good price because I won't pay the "full price." I even buy Ramen a case at a time, but again, that lasts us about 2months. That's with 3 kids who eat it (the 4th doesn't yet). I would be mortified if I felt like someone was judging me, or even feeling superior, because my cart doesn't measure up to their standard. I've stopped shopping at stores where a cashier acts that way. I prefer to go somewhere where they will chat and be friendly, regardless of what I buy. And if we treat a skinny or "average" person with that respect, we darn well better treat everyone with that respect.

well duh,. we all do it
