I said for years that every second date should be to a grocery store. The first date can be as fancy and choreographed as the couple wants, but the second date needs to be to the grocery store.
You can learn just about everything you need to learn about a person from watching them at a grocery store. From how they chose a parking spot, to how they talk to employees, to how they budget, to how they prepare a list, to how healthy they eat, to how they check out, to if they return the shopping cart.
Heh. My first date with my husband ended up at a pizzeria chain. He pulled out a gift card (he won at karaoke). Believe it or not, despite Weird Al asserting that pulling out a coupon book when on a date is tacky, I actually admired it. We’ve been together 14 years, and this year is our tenth wedding anniversary. 😊 Turns out we had a whole lot more in common.

My wife and I use coupon books almost every time we eat out, and we’ve been together going on 5 years.
Change your mind on a product. Do they put it back where it belongs or throw it on the nearest clearly wrong shelf?
Or, is the person a shopper at all? Do they act like they’ve never been to a grocery store in their lives?
That’s useful information.
Or do they compulsively steal? And if so, did they remember what my favourite chocolate bar is?
