Today’s shopping task was for the lovely Helen. Shielding, with her cat for company, Helen has barely been out of the house since the start of lockdown. In fact, she told me that the 10 minutes we spent chatting over the garden gate was the longest time that she had spent outside. We talked about the possibility of getting some help to cut the grass in her front garden, so a possible GoodGym Mission on the cards...

I am still a little unfamiliar with the Asda layout, as I haven’t shopped there for some considerable time, so was really pleased when Helen read out her list. Not only had she named the products that she wanted, but had given the brand, position in the store, and even whereabout on the shelf they could be found, and in some cases, the colour of the box. Here is an example...

Box of 4 small chocolate eclairs, in the chiller cabinet, near the bakery Two boxes of Asda coconut jam tarts, blue box Done small round mandarin jellies, in the chiller cabinet near the front of the shop, opposite the freezers, on the bottom shelf, usually on offer, 5 for £2

Priceless! Even I couldn’t go wrong with those directions.

Just one item that I couldn’t find in any of the local food stores...Heinz Weight Watchers Baked Beans (with a purple label). So, if anyone out there knows where they can be located, please let me know 😉
