Shopping basket case
“Shall we go shopping today?” I asked.
“Well, I suppose we could,” said Shana. “After all, we have run out of cake, haven’t we?”
“Yes, and it’s ages since we last had a walk to Morrisons too,” I said. “I also know how we could save money on our groceries once we get there.
At the mention of savings, Shana’s eyes lit up. “Go on then, tell me how,” she said.
“It’s easy, really,” I said. “All you have to do is remember that it’s always more economical to do your shopping with a basket than with a trolley.” It’s true: I think it has something to do with not being able to cram so many unnecessary impulse purchases (e.g., shower gel, deodorant, toothpaste etc) into a basket and not wasting money as a result.
“Oh, is that so?” said Shana.
“Yes,” I replied. “The average weekly shop should require only about fifteen baskets.”
Shana evidently thought she had found a flaw in my reasoning: “How are we going to carry all those baskets?” she said.
“Easy,” I said. “Put ‘em in a trolley!”
You see? I’m not just a money-saving expert; I’m a Master of Logic too.
