What your shopping cart says about you


If your shopping cart could talk, what would it say? By peeking into a shopping cart, you can learn much about someone’s lifestyle. For instance, I once observed a shopper unload a cart jam-packed with Hot Pockets and red pop. I think it’s fair to assume he wasn't planning an extravagant dinner party. 

Here are additional assumptions made from an average shopping cart:

• Bacon: A heart attack in a pack. Nothing like a little bacon to clog your arteries.
• Band aids: Parents of children and teenagers
• Books: Someone who prefers reading over television
• Cereal boxes with cartoon characters: Dentally challenged children
• Crayons, scissors and markers: School age children
• Excedrin or aspirin: Married with children
• Fifty cans of cat food: Crazy cat lady
• Fifty cans of dog food: Either a breeder or someone hoarding dogs
• Financial calculators and Energy drinks: Teenagers
• Frozen meals and/or pizzas: Someone too busy to cook
• No vegetables or salad: Obesity
• Preparation H: Major pain in the butt (literally)
• Prunes or Fiber supplements: Bowel problems
• Ramen Noodles and/or Macaroni and cheese: College student or someone without much cash
• Rogaine: Someone not ready to say goodbye to their hair
• Roses: If it’s not a birthday or anniversary, some poor guy has probably been sleeping on the couch
• Trojans (Not Trojan warriors): Responsible men avoiding premature fatherhood and STD’s
• Twenty packs of toilet paper: Too many kids
• Vegetables and fruit only: Possible PETA member
• Vinegar: Someone who either uses it to clean or still thinks it can be used to beat a drug test

The next time you find yourself bored in a grocery store, why not glance into someone else’s shopping cart? It’s amazing what you can learn about someone by their shopping habits.
