What can be said about a person from his purchases in the supermarket

In the shop near the house you can meet anyone: a student with a full basket of “Doshirak”, a pensioner picking milk or apples meticulously, an exhausted mother or a business woman who pretends to be here by accident. However, what we put in the basket can tell even more about each of us than looks.   

Fan of PP – in his cart, low-fat milk, low-fat cottage cheese, chicken or fish fillets, vegetables. Those who are passionate about sports and good nutrition don’t always bother to ensure that cooked food tastes good. After all, this is, first of all, a set of KBZhU, vitamins and minerals necessary for the normal functioning of a healthy body. However, it is difficult to spoil chicken with vegetables, so PP fans live quite well. Except for the constant struggle with temptations in the form of sweets and pastries (her smell can drive anyone crazy, even a fitness maniac). 

But if some “forbidden” lurked at the bottom, then we have either a weak-willed fan of proper nutrition, or, on the contrary, a man with an iron will: the fact that you yourself refuse sweets is not a reason not to indulge your family with them. 

Гурман – he knows how to enjoy food. He selects products in such a way that their combination will make it possible to experience all the shades of taste. In his basket, you can see spices that most of us are only puzzled about. He buys not the brands that are cheaper or more popular, but those that have made an impression on him personally. It may not be the most expensive product, but it is certainly the highest quality. Well, or in line with his plans for tonight’s dinner. 

Bore – three packs of the same pasta, two packs of the same semi-finished products, ordinary bread, unpretentious vegetables or a couple of seasonal apples. A person who eats the same thing every day is either hellishly boring and boring, or, on the contrary, lives such a creative life that he doesn’t care what he has. By the way, in the latter case, he may still seem boring. After all, he is unable to talk about anything other than his favorite business. 

Mom is out of touch – a wedding ring on a finger, a tired but enthusiastic look. Mom finally sent the children to their grandmother with an overnight stay, my husband went on a business trip, there was a chance for a normal bachelorette party – to chat, have fun. In her basket is a standard set for a girl’s party: wine, cheese, fruit. However, the drinks may be different, but there will certainly be a place for delicious treats. When it will still be possible to pamper yourself, and even without haste and the likelihood that someone’s little hands will strive to pull the tidbit right out of the mouth. 

Exemplary Mom – she looks a lot like a nutritious food fanatic, but there will still be fruit in her basket. And perhaps even jars of baby puree and curds. Cereals, vegetables, no sweets and semi-finished products, sweet yoghurts and sausages with sausages. You could even argue that at the checkout she will get an eco-friendly string bag instead of buying a bag. But among all these usefulness, there is still something lurking that betrays the humanity of an exemplary mother: a cookie, a candy, a tiny chocolate bar. Something that will allow her not to go crazy, while remaining perfect. 

Mr Thrift – his products are collected according to the prince “come on, what we have here today action.” Two for the price of one on milk, a 50 percent discount on pasta, sausage, which expires critically soon, and therefore an attraction of unheard of generosity is announced for it – all this ends up in his basket. Well, why not? After all, pasta or milk mostly tastes exactly the same. And to eat sausage quickly – any hungry citizen can easily cope with this. 

Bachelor – in his basket there will not necessarily be textbook dumplings and other semi-finished products. Bachelors nowadays love to pamper themselves, they often bother with healthy food, and they know how to cook well. So there will certainly be delicious treats for yourself, your beloved, and truly hearty food. Curd snacks, chips, boxes with jelly and ice cream – in general, in the fridge of a real bachelor there will be far not only boring frozen pasta with stew. 

Foresight itself – champagne and beets, green peas and a couple of packs of juice. It would seem that the set is strange. But no – the person just decided not to leave all the New Year’s purchases for the last day, but prudently packs up everything necessary in advance. After all, now there is more choice, and less pushing, and there is an opportunity to save money, and there is no need to drag an incredible burden home. A person who deliberately distributes chores so as not to overstrain in the pre-holiday bustle can only applaud.  

Hamster – on what the eye fell, then into the basket and flew. Pomegranates and buns, condensed milk and a pie with an egg, kefir and dried bananas – anything can be at the checkout. Such a person is unlikely to bother with proper nutrition. His main motive is his own “I Want”, and a momentary one. By the way, it is not a fact that such a person will necessarily be complete. His “want” just as quickly turns into “don’t want” if he doesn’t like the product. And he will not even regret the money spent, he will spit it out and throw it away. Although irrational spending does not benefit the budget. 

By the way

And most often we try on the role of one or another category. We are all hamsters, and we take up the mind and proper nutrition, and we are fond of cooking, no, no, and attempts to save money happen to everyone. Well, mothers are always mothers. They try to buy all the best for children, and even treat tasty ones, but they often save on themselves.
