[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2128460, member: 25851"] We only have a couple of butchers in our town (7 miles away) and a couple of supermarkets - well 3, but one is on the main street and there is no parking there. I can't walk around any shops so when I do go shopping it is in a wheelchair with my son pushing. We have a list (which, as mentioned in a previous post we keep in a prominent position in the kitchen to add items as they come to mind) and I arrange it according to the aisles in the supermarket we usually use (Tesco's aisles are narrow and difficult to manoeuvre around so we don't often go there). My son then shoots me around the shop at a rate of knots which I wouldn't be capable of, even when I could walk. What's on the list, we pick up. What's not - we don't. Even if I do think of, or see, something I want, I usually wave my arm in a futile effort to attract his attention or reach out for it. I used to take an hour to go around the supermarket, now we take about 20 - 25 minutes and we are usually home within the hour, unless I go to a butcher's shop (the one with a car park so that I can actually walk into it). It's very efficient. Everyone having difficulty with still wanting to buy all those bad-for-you things, needs a son like mine! [/QUOTE]
