Do you walk down every aisle in supermarket? Which interests you most?

I will be going to the supermarket in a bit to grab some breakfast for the week ahead! I wonder if you walk down every aisle slowly browsing around, or you are just like me - grab and go? Which aisle is most interesting to you? For me, it has to be "personal health" *laughs*.

It depends. If I am doing a grocery run for the family (6) then, I go up and down the aisles. If there is a specific ingredient I need for the meal I am about to prepare, then I try to go straight for it, lest I see this thing and that one which I forgot to get last time, or that I may need tomorrow and end up spending too much (again).

I don't think I have ever walked down every last isle in the store, but I am sure I have come pretty close to it. If I am not in a hurry, I tend to browse a bit more than I do if I am in a rush. I always like to go down the clearance isles and see what I can find that I need really cheap.

I wouldn't say that I walk down every aisle in the supermarket but I do walk down a lot of them. If I'm walking by an aisle that catches my eye, then I'll walk down it. Maybe I just want to get out of the house for awhile so I'll try and spend more of my time in the store just browsing. Maybe I usually go down certain aisles all the time so I'll just go down it because I'm used to it.

I will sometimes go up and down the aisle because sometimes I forget about things I need unless I happen to see it. Sometimes this can be a good thing, sometimes it can be a bad thing. A lot of times I got shopping with a list. Gotta make sure I buy only what I need.

When I make a trip to the supermarket, I tend to go from aisle to aisle even though I have a list on hand. This makes me aware of the newly endorsed products, etc. There are times that I just really "grab and go", BUT whenever time allows it ... I browse around comparing items but also at the same time making sure that I have all I need. I spent a lot of time on the beauty products section. Supermarket time is kind of a therapy for me... this is one of my "me" time.

I have this habit of walking down every isle in the supermarket... mainly because i don't bring a list of what i need to buy... so i do that so that i will not forget anything that i need to buy... and it is so much fun to look around every isle...

I will see whether I have enough free time. If I have plenty of time, then I like to check every aisle in the supermarket as I need to get some information. Perhaps it will be useful for me in the future. If I don't have time, then usually I just leave after I buy something I need. I am interested in the snacks:) I love China

I don't like to browse in supermarkets very much. I like to make my trips to the supermarket very short. ;) This may seem strange but the aisle that interests me most in supermarkets is where breads are displayed. I like to see different types of breads, rolls, etc. I rarely buy what I see, since I don't eat that much bread, but I find it fun to see whole grain bread and roll products. Have a good day!

I usually have a list of things to buy when I go visit the supermarket or hypermart, so I'll go down specific aisles. It's only when I've nothing much to do, that I will browse each aisle, and it's usually the snacks and junk food areas that attract me most.

I will normally buy what I needed first, then walke every other aisle to see what catches my interest (and my stomach). This drives my wife crazy.

hello wondericequeen that depends, if i go to the grocery store to stock up for my family and myself, i will usually go down every aisle of the store. but if i just need a couple of items from the grocery store, i will just run in the store and go down the aisle's that i need to. lol and i guess that my favorite aisle in the grocery store is the baking aisle. lol you never know what that you will see down that aisle, somtimes different items will be on clearance, or sometimes the grocery store will have some kind of a new item out. i remember when that my Grandmother was still alive, i would often go to the grocery store with her, and no matter what that she needed, she would take her sweet time and go down every aisle of the grocery store. lol she always said that she'd rather take her time while that she was in the grocery store like that and not forget anything that she needed while she was there, instead of having to make another trip back to the grocery store. take care and have a beautiful day today!

The only way for me to find anything in a store is to walk down one aisle, up the next, and around the perimeter. I am lousy at remembering where things are in stores. If I can't find something fast enough, I'll ask for customer service, and see if the people who work there can find it for me. As for the place I think I like the best in the store, I like the deli section with all those great cheeses and things. YUMMY!

I walk down every aisle or at least check the aisles briefly because of my mother. That way, she remembers what she needs to buy.

i usually look spastic in a supermarket. i hate to have to watch someone compare six different peanut butters. so if there is more than two carts on an aisle, i'll skip it and come back down it later. i usually go down every aisle though, just to check for sales. if my wife and i go, i can usually tell her what is on sale through the whole store before she is on the second aisle.

To be honest, as a man I don't really like doing shopping and particularlly dislike browsing around every aisle. We are common in shopping - just grab and go. Haha.
