A Shopping List

I went to Sainsbury's the supermarket this morning. There were several interesting things relating to my shopping. I shall relate them here in the obvious form - a shopping list:

1. Twinings Orange, Mango and Cinnamon teabags
I didn't actually need any of these, as the previous box is still full. However, the ones on sale at the moment come with a free gift - a plastic teabag holder. Designed so that you can carry up to five teabags around with you in relative safety, anywhere you go! I had to have one. They come in a range of lurid colours, and you don't find out until you open the box. As soon as I got home, I opened the box to find that mine matches this blog. Teabag-tastic!

2. Sainsbury's Meat Feast pizza.
See my post from April 04, 2004 for more details of this product. The pizza box now has a label on the front saying something like "Now with extra toppings". This is clearly a good thing, or at least it is until you realise: The damn supermarket has been ripping me off for the last month, holding toppings back from me! They should have had this much on to start with! I've a mind to write to them and demand they send me the extra toppings in the post immediately. I expect they've put them on a shelf in head office somewhere, labeled "the pizza toppings withheld from Lint". They've maybe got a shelf with your toppings on too. Why not write to them as well? Topping-tastic!

3. KP Hula Hoops 7 pack multibag.
Crisps are great. These should have contained: 3 packs of ready salted, 2 packs of barbecue beef and 2 packs of salt and vinegar. What it actually contained was: 3 packs of ready salted, 2 packs of barbecue beef and 4 packs of salt and vinegar!! Yes, you read correctly - the multibag contained two whole bonus packs of S&V for no reason whatsoever! I will not be writing to complain about that one! Crisp-tastic!

4. Powerade, "Citrus Charge" flavour, 500ml
Now this is just vaguely unpleasant.

I will add that I don't normally put this much detail on any shopping lists that I make. It would clearly take forever. Consider this to be a special one that I wrote just for you.*
