Does anyone else have a problem with strange items in their shopping

[Extremelygrumpy]

This is happening to me more and more... I go shopping for the weekly shop with OH then it gets delivered by the store to our house... Now my problem is I look at the shelf ... See what I want if it's not heavy I pick it up and put it in the trolley, heavy things my oh gets... My problem ... Inbetween seeing the item I want and reaching out and taking it... Something obviously happens whether it's balance or my brain not sure which ... But I end up with the item NEXT to it and often don't notice till it arrives at home I look at it and think why have I got that when I wanted the item next to it.. I know it was next to it cos the items are usually right item wrong flavour something I hate.... This week it was stocking fillers went to buy fruit pastiles tubes ended up with pick and mix tubes.. It's soooo frustrating

Shopping is a problem full stop as much as we want to do it when sat at home its getting there and yes if i had to do it i think omg i cnot reach that or carry that and feel a numpty!

holding onto the trolley get to check out ... checkout -would you like any help with your packing madam.. moi - yes please .... waiting and no help they think its a joke now a days if you say yes and it proves we dont look like we cannot manage hoh

I use the .com supermarkets for a big shop ... and mobility scooters for the little shops. I always forget something, don't say use a list because

a. I forget the list

b. I forget to put things on a list

Every now and again we get some very strange meals and often have back to front meals where pudding comes first.

VG - I think you must take a Gremlin shopping with you

Julie, I thought my OH looked shorter and furry... Thought it was blurred vision due to my meds... Fortunately I have a big supermarket 5 mins from my house by mobility scooter so I drive there potter round leaning on trolley and stick and they deliver it. That's why I take my OH he gets the heavy things and remembers what I forget....

I often find I have several bars of chocolate and a few pots of ice cream that I DEFINITELY didn't order - honest

I do all my shopping online.It must be two years since I went into a supermarket. Lovely T*****s man always brings it in the kitchen and helps me to unpack. I honestly don't know how I would cope without them. Jane x

I find strange items too - but they are usually chocolate. I didn't want them honest(ish) I can't even blame anyone else. There isn't enough room in my cupboards so I suppose I'll have to force myself to eat them. xxx

Loving the idea of a meal where pudding comes first.... just imagine... "If you don't eat all your pudding then you don't get any mains..." Heaven!

Put myself off tuna like this. Instaed of picking up the fish in brine, I reached out for it in some godawful chilli or curried sauce instead. Didn't notice till it was on my plate looking/ reeking of something that the cat brought up.

Yes - I seem to do this a lot. Most recently got the glossy BB (blemish balm) instead of matt.

I do something similar with my speech. I'll have a word in my head, for instance if Im talking about cushions, I'll say "carpets" (or something) instead, a word beginning with the same letter. I know what i want to say, but it comes out of my mouth wrong. I dont even realise Ive done it coz i had the right word in my head, but somewhere between head and mouth, it gets jumbled.its not till someone says "what are you talking about??", that i know ive done it,lol. As for shopping, i spend hours in the supermarket coz even tho i take a list,i forget to pick things up and go round and round in circles till ive crossed it all off the list. Im exhausted when i get home !!
