Odd grocery combo.

Haha. Sometimes I think it's hilarious some of the things I buy. Not by themselves but as a whole, it must look really goofy.

Like today, just a quick run to the store to pick up a few things to go us to next pay day and in my cart is organic milk, natural peanut butter, 100% whole grain bread.... and 7 2 liters of Vault soda.

Dh goes through a LOT of soda and we have 2 weeks until pay day so I was stocking up. I'm sure the cashier didn't think twice about it but inside I was giggling at the checkout.

What are some things you buy together that seem a bit odd?

Tampons and chocolate, but usually when they see that the cashiers handle me with kid gloves, lol!!

Diet pepsi and potatoe chips with dip.

Salad dressing and cereal.

I agree with diet soda and candy, lol

I bought condoms and ice cream once and the cashiers actually had the nerve to say something like, "oooh a fun evening tonight, huh?" I wanted to beat them! lol

Ive done the midnight run with the bf at the local 24 hour grocery store on a Friday night...things are always a bit pricier there but we we went to get munchies and found a few great deals b/c it was after midnight and the flyer started on Saturday

Heh, a few things turned into a grocery shop.

What we went for: ice cream & chocolate sauce, diet soda and light pringles

Things that were on sale we couldnt pass up: canned whip cream, strawberries & bananas, fat free lunchmeat, fat free cheese, fat free yoghurt, fat free mayo, whole grain bread, ground beef, vegetarian chili, tampons, condoms and sunblock

The poor lil 16 y/o kid at the only cash ringing us through was giving us this weird glance at each time he had to scan one of our items

He's thinking....what a weird couple

I participate on a medical mission in a 3rd world country once per year. We distribute medications while we are there. We must weigh patients so we can given them the correct dosage. To make it easier we pre-package medications in baggies before we go. I once went to walmart and bought 900 snack size ziploc baggies and a scale. I'm sure the cashier muct have thought I was a drug dealer

I went to Walmart today and picked up some groceries, fruit and yogurt and new curtains and curtain rods for the living room. One day I went with my mom and she bought some food, clothes and a toilet seat! lol

I have a friend that manages a grocery store and was doing checkout when I stopped in for a second to tell him something. I was standing at the end of the checkout, when a woman about our age came through.She had boxes upon boxes of tampons, sanitary pads and mini-pads.All different brands and styles. I tapped his foot with mine, but he held it together and kept checking.She then begin to place cotton balls, gauze pads, t.p, paper towels ,tissues, band-aids- basically anything absorbant on the line. I was about to burst with laughter, and I kept tapping his foot. His face was red, but he held it together. He started to total up her order when she asked him to hold on a minute, she had one last item. She placed on the line......A CORK!!! At that point he lost it, right in front of her....laughing and wheezing! He walked off, and I told the puzzled woman he was having a mini asthma attack and someone else finished her through.Man! What a bizarre combo, never seen anything like it.

I think our shopping cart was way more weird when our two sons still lived at home (and when they come back and stay awhile). One is a health nut, one is a junk food junkie, and we are middle ground (mainly whatever's on sale, LOL.)

Often the diet soda and candy/sweets are in there.

They sell corks in the grocery stores?! Too funny.
