Tonight, I popped along to Ms L's to help with a post-work shop.

The new item on today's list was "Singapore noodles". Having absolutely zero idea what these were or where to find them, I clarified the situation with Ms L. They were apparently to be found by the diced vegetables, and Ms L mentioned that she wouldn't mind a bonus pack if more than one was found. I nodded sagely in response: I may not know where the diced vegetables were to be found either, but at least I now had another signpost for the way ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Applying supreme logic to the situation, I reasoned that the diced vegetables would likely be found next to the normal vegetables. This was a good call, and ultimately turned out to be correct. Unfortunately, having reasoned this out, I proceeded by checking every other aisle for the diced vegetables first. This is the problem when you trust the whims of feet instead of your head. Regardless, everything was found (including the bonus, second, packet of noodles), and I returned Ms L's shopping and change to her.

When I did a shopping mission I was surprised at my ineptitude, other peoples shopping is harder than you think. Well done for perseverance.

Thanks, Linda :) It didn't take that long in the end, but it sure felt like it at the time! ๐Ÿ˜‚
