Grocery shopping fun [View all]

Bitch about the price when you’re looking at items and say to any nearby shopper “Damn, I thought prices were supposed to be coming down!”

Or

Just act like you’re talking to yourself when another shopper is within earshot.

Makes the Kroger experience a little more bearable.
