I generally put my stuff on the belt in the order I want to pack it - so all the fridge stuff will come through together, then all the fruit and veg, etc. Booze often goes through first because it's heavy and I don't want it crushing my bread.

As far as what people think of my shopping, I don't give a monkeys.

I do, it's pathetic. I don't know any of these people, but care that they might think I'm an alky, because tonight (for once) I'm having pizza and beer, rather than cooking.

I feel especially scummy if I'm skint and drinking strong dry cider (again), or want to stock up but have limited space, so 1 ltr of scotch.

GET OVER IT! WHO CARES WHAT THEY THINK!

But I can't!

I put my stuff down in the order that Im going to pack it if Im doing a big shop, thats all. Couldn't care less what people thought I was buying. The only time I get embarrassed is when Im buying "Feminine products" and there is a guy on the till, for obvious reasons.

Internet shop is the way forward, the other half does the shop, i have to carry it in from the door step. The price of petrol these days well worth the extra £3.

No, not at all. I buy tea and coffee for work in Netto, the white cider in there flies off the shelves

It's much more interesting to see what's in peoples' recycling bins. Here you have to separate out the bottles and the tins, and most houses have far more than we do

Bottle bin in our house is hilarious, we should really request an extra bin.
