Like its a video game!ģ) The main thought I had: Who has that many Doritos in one cart!? (Besides me, that is?) Seriously, I would not have have gone hogwild on the Doritos cart unless I honestly thought it was a sale cart. ![]() But no, my dumb ass sees a cart loaded with Doritos and somehow it becomes my mission to make them all mine. Nope – she just saw my dumb face offloading Doritos like it was my job.Ģ) No price sale sign anywhere in sight. I guess I’m lucky this woman didn’t come at me with a taser, or screamed for the police. Here’s what went through my head as I was caught dumpster diving into this random lady’s shopping cart:ġ) Her purse was clearly in that little basket to the front of the cart. So: not bad, but I probably wouldn’t buy these again. However, while I tasted a hint of what Nabisco was going after, I cannot say this really tasted of cheddar cheese or bacon. Which, by itself, isn’t a bad snack, per se. What it really tasted like: a bacon infused cream cheese, or one of those bacon-smoked cheeseballs that you get around Christmas time, spread over a Ritz cracker. Today’s Junk Food is a goody I just bought yesterday: Ritz Cheddar Cheese & Bacon Crackerfuls! I am clearly stealing Doritos out of this woman’s shopping cart. Quite a haul… until a woman walks up to me hurriedly with a nasty look on her face, and exclaims, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” And then I look more closely – this is her shopping cart. Cool Ranch, Nacho Cheese, Spicy – quite a haul! I push my cart over next to it, and I happily start pulling bags of Doritos out of that cart into my cart. And there, in all its glory, is a cart loaded with, what else, Doritos! Junk Food Nation, you know how much I LOVE Doritos, especially if they’re on sale. So one day I’m out getting my groceries, pushing my cart around, and I get to the end of an aisle. ![]() Then they’d post these shopping carts at the end of store aisles. Instead, if something was on sale, they’d load up a shopping cart full of one item, and stick a sign into it – “Cans of Corn, 3 for $1,” that sort of thing. One of the store’s hallmarks was that because it was so small, there were no gaudy displays, no colorful shelves, etc. It was a great little grocery with great deals and fresh deli. So, in the spirit of that, I thought I’d share one of my personal awkward grocery moments.īack when I lived in Maryland, before moving into DC, I used to frequent this small family-owned grocery store known as Sniders SuperFood. And the feedback I received from many of you was tremendous – that the same rules can apply to Targets, Walmarts, etc. Junk Food Nation, last Monday I discussed why grocery stores are often the most awkward places.
