am I doing anything wrong

start leaving anything which has a cardboard sleeve on the checkout ie prepack meals, amazing how much unnessary packing comes with stuff, might start to put washing powder into a carrier bag them boxes fill the bin up

Shopper: (to husband) so according to the garage, my Jag needs new tyres, again, I can't believe it. How long do they last?
Husband: About a year, mine were done last August. Its best to get a set of 4 at once, of course <haha>
Shopper: Oh, well, mine have only been on 10 months, how outrageous. How many broccoli for <the horses name, I forget> do we need this week?
Husband: We have 2 left, so just 8
Shopper: Oww kay
