If you're like me at all, I bet there have been a few times where you've been exasperated enough to leave your grocery cart, picked items still inside, and leave the store. This usually happens when I can't find a main ingredient for that night's recipe. Don't think too badly of me...I always return perishables to the shelf and I never leave meat that the butcher or fish monger has wrapped. But when I want to fix...say...seared ahi with a sesame wasabi sauce and I find out they don't have any ahi...Arrrrggggghhhh! It's especially frustrating when I have everything else I need, already in the cart.
Simple solution to my (our) problem. Before you enter the store, look at your list and decide what is the hardest (most likey to be out of stock) thing to find. Start with that. If you don't find it, you can (a) change your menu for that night or (b) go to another store. Since I started this, I don't think I've left any shopping carts behind. And as a former bag boy, I'm sure the store appreciates not having to de-shop or un-shop or whatever we used to call it.
