I can't believe people still use the 'poopy' seat for their groceries!!

That seat is the most germy part of any cart and I make sure it is folded up and the checkout people know not to use it for my groceries.

That one cart has more groceries in that seat than in the cart itself. People need to ask themselves, "Let's see...if a baby came over to my house and sat in one of my chairs, did their business, would I clean off the seat before using it?"

YES, you would! This makes no sense to me.

Then they unload their groceries onto their kitchen counters....ick!

I always put my purse there now that my kids are too big for it, but our store has clorox wipes at the front door now since the flu mess started. I wipe down the kid seat, or get one of the small ones that don't have one. Kids are often sick before the parents know it. Sometimes you think they are sleepy then it progresses as the day goes on. If they are too young to tell you they feel bad, sleepy is often misdiagnosed by mom and dad.

With all the purse swiping out here, my bag never leaves my shoulder, or I just bring a small wallet and keep it in a zipped pocket.

All the stores have the Clorox wipes, but I would have to use Clorox and a hose before I'd feel it was clean enough. I'm definitely a germophobic!

I use the wipes to not only clean the handle on the buggy, but also the kid's seat for I do use it. Not for a kid, but for bread. My DH is 99% of the time with me when grocery shopping and if I don't but the bread in the seat it would be flatter than a pancake from the DH tossing stuff into the buggy.

I usually buy bread last, for that very reason...oh, and eggs. They both go on top.

I'm one of those shoppers that has a very organized cart. Things fit into place like a puzzle. Each department has their own area of the cart.

Yes, I'm compulsive about it. I want them to bag all the cold food in one bag, vegetables in other, etc. One reason why I like the 'bag your own' stores. I can be in control.

At our store, the bread is right next to the produce section in the front corner of the store where you go first and I don't want to make another trip to that section just to get bread. Eggs are at the end so they go on top.

I get the baggers to put all my frozen and cold stuff together because I have to put it in the cooler for the trip home. With a 45 minute drive home, everything would be thawed out... especially in the summer months.

A little OCD is ok.

That first picture is your cart, isn't it!

Here is why I think that, don't be creeped out, I am not a stalker I just have a weird memory. There is the minutemaid enhanced juice, that you started a thread about recently. There is King Arthur flour, I remember that it is your flour of choice (and it is on sale at Kroger this week). Then there is the Lucini olive oil, I think that is the olive oil that you mentioned being your favorite, wayyy back, I remember this because I have bought it, and it is good.

Am I right?

Yep, it's mine. I wondered if anyone would pick up on it. You are clever.
