Supermarket Sweep
"Next time you're at the checkout and you hear the beep - think of the fun you could be having on Supermarket Sweep!"
There's no apology here to Dale Winton (or ITV) for the blatant theft of the tagline from the cheesy daytime TV show, because let's face it - when was the last time you bought a giant inflatable banana?
Just how many taglines can I squeeze into this post?
There's more reasons why I sit here writing this post other than poking fun at daytime telly. And one of those is the trip on Tuesday night to our "corner shop" - which just so happens to be one of the big supermarkets.
After a stormy shop - we had no idea what we wanted for tea, only I wanted to try something new today - we headed to the checkout. We use the self-scan checkouts to get through quicker, so when the boy started passing up items from the trolley for MOTS to scan it was helping speed things up further. Further speed was gained when the boy started wafting items over the scanner himself, successfully getting them recognised. Every little helps when you're trying to make up time, and he certainly did help!
With escalating food prices we are taking advantage of a number of food offers, so we spend a little.
Live a lot in the supermarket? You bet we do, given the boy was well versed with the operating procedures of the checkout!
Right, how many supermarket taglines did we get in there? Answers in the comments, please!

MOTS has just had a go at finding the supermarket tag lines - she correctly identified two. There are more in there...!

1 point & 2 half points (does 2 half points make a point?)
So not 3...
And there's more...
And who are they?

Is that worth a quarter point?

Not even close...
Wasn't that a cheesy Saturday night TV program with Matthew Kelly?

Happy Shopper's guesses:
Every little helps - Tesco
There's more reasons to shop at Morrisons
Spend a little, live a lot - Aldi
Try something new today - at Sainsbury's
