8 Types of People You See at the Grocery Store

YOUR LOCAL GROCERY STORE -- It's Sunday afternoon, and everyone is trying to get some last-minute shopping done to prepare for the upcoming week. Among the stock boys and nonchalant cashiers are a variety of shoppers, all who have the same goal, but with a different method of achieving it.

1. The bewildered husband

They were just sent here with a shopping list. They can typically be found wandering the aisles silently wondering where everything is.

2. The person who stubbornly refuses to get a cart

...and therefore stuffs a tiny basket to the brim, or else attempts to hold everything in their hands (which doesn't always end well).

3. The organic-obsessed mother

She can be seen checking the label on the spinach and inspecting each ear of organically grown corn.

4. The seemingly unattended children

While the babysitter is in the cereal section, the kids are riding the shopping carts like scooters down aisle five.

5. The college student

Usually seen buying one frozen dinner at a time, often accompanied by a box of microwave popcorn and a bottle of $5 wine.

6. The professional shopper

They mean business. If grocery shopping was a sport, they would take home the gold every time. They check items off of their list in order and know where every item in the store is located.

7. The couponer

Binder of coupons in hand, they strategically select items for purchase.They have read all the fine print, and assure the cashier that yes, these coupons can be combined

8. The sampler

They weave through every aisle to ensure that they try every free sample in the store. They might even go back for seconds.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life.
