Tesco in Hackney Central about five years ago - saw this middle-aged Asian couple loading up their car with about five large trolleys each one filled to the brim with jumbo bags of Tesco Value frozen chips...

What you buy is also get checked out by the ckeckout women and girls - that way they know who's single and who's not.

Lot of small businesses - cafes and caterers - use the mega Tesco near me for convenience, esp. if the stuff is on its last 'sell by' day - that goes straight in the work freezer.

I was once in a queue behind an old man who was buying a 3ltr of the cheapest fizzy cider and a £1 Morrisons value reheatable fish and chips tray. It was quite obviously his daily supper, it made me a bit sad.

Most of my fresh stuff used to come from Lewisham market, which made for some odd combos from Sainsbury's. I think my personal best was three bottles of cava, some dried oregano and Marmite.

my housemate drinks tennent's super. she's tiny though and says its the only beer she can get drunk on before she gets full


i've seen a few cans stacked up in her room once or twice. i think its pretty funny.

she's from italy so i'm not sure she understands who the usual tennents super buyers are

I've see it being sold as a 'posh' beer in Italy, lol.

I was once in the queue behind a Jewish lady in Tescos in Finchley (you know, smartly dressed, suit, pearls, wig)- she bought half a dozen cans of Tesco white wine (I buy that stuff myself occasionally but I use it for cooking!) and a packet of disposable cups. Whilst in the queue she downed two tins, pouring it into one of the disposable cups to drink. By the time she'd paid and left she had downed another tin - then she got into her Volvo estate and drove off.

I saw a guy buying a large bottle of some fancy vintage cider and a cooked piece of pork at 10am. Looked like a great breakfast.

Mainly I tend to see women buying something that resembles what I would imagine the ingredients of Nigella Lawsons trolley to look like. It's like they have been reading sainburys magazine all week. I can only look on in envy as my wife cannot cook in the slightest and has absolutely no knowledge of nutrition. I can cook myself but usually can only afford one freshly prepared meal per week.

I do see loads of closet alco's, I used to work behind the checkout and seen it all. Ofc all that wine is to complement the cookery lolz It's so much more respectable to get pissed on wine cos everyone knows alcoholics drink special brew...
