They usually use Waitrose viridity bags to organize the shopping.
They use a handheld scanner when they are shopping.
Paul mentioned that they normally have dissensions when they are making the shopping. ( I could confirm this fact in my observations ) .
‘I have a theory that we should be after all the repasts for the hebdomad, and Wanda says no Lashkar-e-Taiba ‘s merely do it ‘ ( Paul ) . ‘I purchase what I feel like ‘ ( Wanda ) .
They merely write a list when they are holding people for dinner, and it ‘s particular.
Wanda: ‘the things that I usually pick up Paul does n’t ‘ .
During the shopping trip, I observed that they usually went around the supermarket in different ways. When I asked Paul about it, he said: ‘Well it is usually much more disrupted. We are on our best [ temper ] ‘
The bulk of the material that they bought was organic. ‘Theoretically, there is n’t much if you look ‘ ( Paul ) .
For meats they usually go to the meatman in Calclayne North from Waterlooville ( one time a hebdomad ) . They do n’t wish to purchase meat at Waitrose,
Paul liked to purchase different kinds of nutrient. Harmonizing to Wanda he had a inclination to purchase even nutrient that they had already in stock at place. The followers is an illustration of this state of affairs: Wanda: ‘what? You do n’t necessitate it you have a new one already in the electric refrigerator ‘ . Paul replied: ‘No I merely finished it ‘ . Wanda: ‘No you ‘ve got a new one already! ‘ ( she replied raising her voice ) . Paul wanted to purchase a Sn of shredded porc, and marmalades.
Paul told me as a secret that they loved to purchase and stop dead anything that is inexpensive. I observed that Paul tried to pick something up, but he doubted and left it. He said: ‘I am non allowed to purchase that ‘ . Wanda commented: ‘He merely wants to purchase because it ‘s inexpensive and so he does n’t utilize it. It gets wasted ‘ .
Paul liked to seek different staff of lifes ‘mentally believing what it would savor like ‘ .
They were purchasing less than normal because they were traveling out on Saturday eventide. ‘It ‘s a thin hebdomad this hebdomad ‘ , Paul said
When I asked about trade names:
Paul said: aˆ¦’I do n’t mind the brandaˆ¦on the footing that is organicaˆ¦makes us experience good. It does surely good ‘ .
When I asked about a certain trade name that he was purchasing: He answered: ‘It ‘s merely [ psychological advertizement ] . Buy that trade name instead than that trade name because I read a newspaper article about the local proprietor of that trade name ‘ .
They said that they did n’t usually purchase frozen nutrient.
Paul is non really acute to shop on Friday because there is a market in Waterlooville. ‘it ‘s awful crowded in the auto park on Friday. So Wanda is a prig, and she wo n’t travel to the market ‘ .
Wanda: what?
Paul: that you wo n’t travel to the market because you think it ‘s beneath you.
Tungsten: No no at all. Whenever I go my material is ne’er a deal ( ) . They do n’t give you what you see. They hide it behind the stall and take out everything else. I ever thought that when there was a market in Portsmouth.
Paul said that they usually spend ?100 in a shopping trip. They go shopping one time a hebdomad.
