Do Americans really?

>>15680096
I dont have such, Cuz I am not a fat fuck with zero selfcontrol

>>15680096
The what now? I'm assuming this is one of those retarded fat fuck rituals?

>>15680114

It actually surprises me how similar these are for being a second apart...

Egg and milk section.
Sometimes cold cuts.
I like eggs.

>>15680096
The women’s panty aisle. I’m no proud of myself but I’ve been arrested multiple times for shoplifting women’s panties

>>15680096
I love edeka

>>15680561
>Not just taking over one of the cashier registers and checking out your groceries that way with the help of a bagger

>>15680114
Damn, you sound badass and cool...

>>15680096
Foreign snacks section.
Can't get enough Dutch liquorice. Also necatarines.

I feel like whenever I go into a supermarket without a shopping list I am way more impulsive with my decisions. That's why I always like to make a list before heading out to buy something. I usually still get a little something that wasn't on the list but it's a lot less than whenever I go without one.

>>15680818
This works for me as well. Having your mind set on what you really want/need helps with desicion making on the spot.

>>15680818
Also, never shop on an empty stomach, you're more prone to making impulsive purchases. It's best to go shopping after eating a meal.

>>15680866
This is very true. Whenever I go shopping after having eaten a decent meal I look at fast food I'd usually buy on a whim and go 'ugh'. Setting your self up for success, even when doing something as mundane as shopping is important in life.

my heartburn protects me from those temptations

I always love looking at the shelf of exotic and curious British foods.

If any native Bonginese could suggest any “must-try” items in this, I’d much appreciate it.
Unless you’re from Leeds.
I used to have a British coworker who said several times “Fuck anything said by anyone from Leeds”.
No idea why. I can only assume Leeds is a cursed place inhabited by lost souls.

>>15680096
the meat isle i like trying out new meats

>>15681355
mars bars and bounty are good.

>>15681355
I’m an Amerilard who shops at Publix like you, but I recommend marmite on toast. It’s a weird taste but I love it

>>15682059
My Publix used to also carry Bovril.
Holy shit that stuff was amazing. Both on toast, and made into a drink.

The entire liquor store

>>15680117
lmao
europoors seething

>>15680096
For me it is the bakery

>>15682490
Is that Posh Spice? That must be the most beautiful British woman I've ever seen!

>>15681355
I love the British section as well, though Meijer's section has significantly fewer choices and the prices are higher. Branston's is good on sourdough with cheddar and I'm sure it would go well with many other sandwiches.

I have too much anxiety to allow myself to wander around and buy what I want in the supermarket. If I do not have a shopping list I leave when I feel like leaving, which is pretty much as soon as I walk in the store.

>>15680799
I'm better at finding this stuff than he is

>>15681355
only good thing in that pic is heinz beans

>>15682537
I remember my first job was at a grocery store. They taught you how to bag (it was common sense but a lot of teenagers can be dumb as shit), and they made cashiers memorize the codes for the most common produce and you had to take a test. Now the cashiers have these little rolling things in front with all the codes, so it slows them down and the stores won't hire baggers that don't wander off, or enough cashiers, so it slows shit down.

>>15682629
The codebooks are just there for newer cashiers and for referencing in case they forget. Even if you're as dumb as a brick, you eventually learn the most common ones (4011, 4225, 4693, 4608, 4131, 4022,4023, etc) just through repetition.
Also people can't bag their own groceries for shit. Worked in a grocery store a while and helped out bagging a bunch and had to stop so many shoppers from putting eggs or soft produce on the bottom.

Source: ran the front end at a grocery store at one point. Never again.

>>15681355
McVities HobNobs are really good as are the Jammie dodgers. I'd have them either with a glass of milk or the Typhoo. Branston pickle is with having with cheese sandwiches. Or try the baked beans on cheese and toast. Grab the HP sauce as an alternative to ketchup. It goes great with bacon and is different to the A1 sauce sold in the states. English HP sauce is not a BBQ marinade the way A1 sauce is.
Ribeba is a nice cordial which the states didn't really seem to have and Irn Bru is a good coke/Gatorade alternative.
T. Ex pat

>>15681355
I am saddened that IrnBru now has artificial sweetners. Wished we could get the OG sugar version they released Irn-Bru 1901.

>>15680412
literally all they ever do if scan the barcode around their neck and then you go back to before the error. Seriously, putting in a back button that works would eliminate that altogether.

>stares at me and then stares at screen

>>15681355
Malteasers are high tier. Grab a pack next time if there's any.

>>15681355
Tunnocks caramel is the best in that picture

>>15680768
why not just buy them

Digestives
Cream crackers with butter and a slice of cheddar is got tier
Marmite for toast
Jamie doggers
Wine gums
Maltesers
Lion bar
Beans
And Yorkshire pudding mix.(easy to make your own mix tho)

Grew up in England and live in the states now

>>15681355
1st shelf - dark chocolate digestives (Mcvities is high-class bong standard)
2nd - branston (always with cheese)
3rd - jammie dodgers
4th - maltesers
5th - aero is pretty based (sad its not the minty one though)
6th - heinz beans
7th - HP sauce
8th - irn bru or robinsons juice as it lasts ages (it's kind of a kids' party drink)

also not a Leeds resident

>>15681355
Get the Yorkshire tea and the chocolate digestives (I prefer dark).
Get the mint sauce and a leg of lamb to roast. Get the Mrs Balls chutney to put on sandwiches with the leftovers.
Maybe try Ribena but maybe not.
If you don't know about lemon curd try that (put it in little tarts).

>>15684184
i could look at spicy sauces all day

makes me sad that the flying goose brand sriracha sauce is now an endangered species outside of chinese wholesale shops

There is none. I never buy unhealthy shit, just like I never pay for alcohol. If someone else offers it for free, I won't stop until I drop, though.
t. cryptojew, I guess

Oh well, should have had me enter codes instead of exciting me.

>meat isle
Tell me more about this island made of meat?

>>15682627
Heinz are shit.
Branston is where it’s at.

Either it's pure chance, or someone was having fun.

>>15684060
You must be a regular, me too. I always get this old lady that gives me the weirdest smug ass smiles. I think she might be an alcoholic too.

Branston pickle mate. Spread some on your grilled cheese sandwich and thank me later.

>>15680096
>>15680096
Ex used to avoid the deenz when we shopped together. If they're less than a buck a can I grip em all. She got mad and went home instead of cooking our meal and Netflix chilling cause I opened a can in car on our way back. Worth it

*grabs the kinder country*
Nothing personnel, Kind.

>>15680096
There’s a valley of death in lidl, I try not to go there any more, at least at waitrose I’m splurging on dates, cherries, and Greek yoghurt instead 16p off-brand twixes

>>15681355
Are they sold out of tunnocks teacakes or do they unironically not stock them? I see caramel wafers so quite possibly the latter. Get the caramel wafers then.

>>15680878
I love your positivity. I've been on a negative run on the internet. Thanks bro.

>>15680096
I'm not fat enpugh to understand this thread.

>>15680096
all of those are disgusting.

>>15680096
kinder sucks balls. child-tier shit. buy lindt you goddamned shill

>>15680096
Chocolate? doesn't fill you up, fucks up your teeth and it's so fucking sweet I almost gagged last time I took a bite out of an aero, don't get why so many people eat it all day.
I'd have to say the meat isle because beef is getting so expensive now but I love frying medium rares. Then the frozen food section because know I can make it better and cheaper but the thought of throwing something in the oven, putting on a timer then forgetting about it is really appealing compared to taking 5-20 minutes to prep and then the same amount after to clean

Fuck off, if I wanted to eat ass I'd go to the pork section

Go get that high score. I believe in you

border veinnese whirls are god tier

>>15681355
Jaffa cakes and irnbru are great
Devon custard is shit
Hobnobs >mcvitties milk chocolate digestives>mcvitties dark chocolate digestives
Aero is nice
Malteasers are better than whoppers although whoppers are good as they are
Love me milky bars, simple as

t. American who shops at publix

>>15682687
Unironically if you fast for a week La Croix tastes pretty good
Your tongue has been jewed by incredibly sweet food so when it gets something slightly sweet it interprets it as being bitter
I drank 10+ cans of diet coke for years but once I decided to fast La Croix tasted better and better
Maybe that's why yuros like sparkling water, because they haven't been brought up on corn syrup for every meal

>>15682578
my favorite supermarket trick. the californian government will have to pry that bag money from my cold dead hands.

>>15681355
I swear "digestives" has to be one of the dumbest-sounding names you could possibly give your biscuits. I've already seen them here at the international food aisle and never bought them because I'm looking for sweets, not for medicine. Might be different for bongs who know them since childhood.

>>15685624
Just a cookie with baking soda in it, they used to think baking soda was a digestive aid

>>15680096
There used to be a time where I had a pack of buenos every single day and then some more sweets. Glad I managed to beat that addiction, sugar is a hell of a drug.

>>15682691

Do not drink Typhoo, it is the shittiest cheap tea brand you can buy over here.

Stick to Yorkshire or PG Tips

>>15680258
I fucking hate when this happens makes you look like a retard.

>>15685423
>do they unironically not stock them?
Nope.
I’m going to guess maybe they don’t seem enough of a “distinctly British” novelty, as the US has a number of chocolate-covered-marshmallow-on-cookie items already.

>>15684493
Kek

>>15683206
"Oops." That's literally all you have to say. They can't do shit.

Whenever I go to the grocery store I always deliberately don't scan a couple of items. I'm not even sneaky about it either, I think it's just that nobody is paying attention to you if you act natural and don't look like a weirdo. Must have stolen a couple hundred bucks worth of food so far from the local safeway

Typhoo Extra bold gets sold where I am. Makes a different cuppa, or maybe I've just been away for too long

>>15687292
You don't eat for one week.

>>15682687
I went to a concert once and got some French fries at the stand cus no dinner. The only thing they had to drink was either water or la croix so I ordered a la croix cus I’d never had one. The girl who sold it still gave me a weird look when I ordered it.
