Cashier: Gomen nasai, googlesama, but our credit card machine is down and I will be unable to take your payment for your groceries.

Me: That is all right because you see, (gong sound) I have brought cash with me today, to the store!

Bystanders: Ohhhhhhhhhh... (their eyes are blank white circles and they have sweat drops)

I know what you're thinking: "Did he use six coupons or only five?" Well, to tell the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But this being a coupon app, the most powerful tool for thrifty shoppers in the world, and would blow your profits to hell, you've got to ask yourself one question: "Is this finally over?" Well, is it, ma'am?

*Shows the cashier that I have three more pages of coupons to go for Fig Newtons

Here's a pro-tip you might not have heard of: drive to the grocery store, so you get there faster.

Reverse shoplifting where I bring items from home to the grocery store and put them on the shelf.

If you go to the store with a partner, and it is a store with long lines, you can save time by having your partner get in line as soon as you arrive at the store, and you join them with the groceries after doing all the shopping, as they near the front of the line.

If other patrons object, simply tell them you are not entering the line, only your partner is in line, and then hand items from your cart or basket to your partner one at a time.

To avoid long lines at grocery stores, do your shopping while the store isn't open.

professional grocery shoppers would never use a store grocery cart. they bring their own, and it's oiled up and ready to drift down frozen entrees/pizza/ice cream novelties.

here is a true story one time i was at the checkout and i realized i forgot ice cream (!!!!) and they were almost done scanning my items and the ice cream was close by, so i said "oh forgot something I'll be back in ten seconds!" and i ran and got it and on my way back right by the checkout there was a slick spot on the ground so i slipped and fell into basically a cool looking slide and then got back up right at the register holding the ice cream and the cashier was like uhh cool

to this day i dunno if they thought i was trying to be cool or if they know I slipped and recovered because i am cool

I know it's hard to see from your perspective, being you and all but here's what happened.

You had ice cream in your hand when you fell, right?

That was your Material Component for the spell.

You would one day become Moderator of BYOB, the Chill Forum. This would reverberate through the fabric of space and time, vibrating along the threads of probability looking for areas of dissonance and unchill vibrations.

You falling would be most unchill.

You falling, sliding, and then ending up upright and holding the ice cream, both intact was most chill.

The cashier just simply under appreciated your chillness.

We appreciate your chillness.

me [walking up to the manager at the stop n shop]: yeah so I'm going to need the chocolate whisky fig newtons

manager: um we don't have that

me [winking]: it's okay, I know about the secret menu

manager: the what now

me: don't play dumb with me. I know you guys keep all the really good groceries in a hidden room in the back

manager: this is crazy talk

me: AND I happen to also know that if someone asks for something from the secret menu you HAVE to give it to then

manager:

[into walkie talkie] sorry doug, you gotta unload the last case of chocy whisky figgies from my car

you need a child for this one:

get in line, and right as the cashier finishes ringing up the customer in front of you suddenly tell your kid that you forgot an item and if they unload the cart you'll be *right back*

do NOT leave your credit card with the child, as they may start to feel guilty about the customers behind them in line and pay for your items

instead, come back with three more items five minutes later and complete the transaction safe in the knowledge that nobody's gonna bump you from your spot at the head of the line because they'd have to harass your kid

don't shop at Costco, just walk around and eat free samples until right before closing, then hide in the racks until after close and stock goes home for the night--then shop.

Go to self-checkout.

Place grocs directly into cart.

Whenever I go shopping I make a shopping list that is overly complicated and contains at least four different words for "stuff you need" and after getting whatever I want and surely won't need I then spend 30 minutes searching for a fun spot to hide my shopping list in, then stick around in hiding to see who finds it and see their faces while they read it
