New Englanders List Their 20 Biggest Grocery Shopping Annoyances

By choice, for no other reason than I'd rather make sure Mom stays as safe as possible since she already deals with enough possible COVID exposure at her job on a daily basis, I'm the one that does the grocery shopping. And honestly, I don't even mind -- I have my list on my phone, I don't dilly-dally in there, I just go in, get what's on the list until it's cleared, then get the heck out of dodge.

But, that said, even though I'm like a bit of a hurricane inside the grocery store and act like I'm being timed like in the Daytona 500 or something, it doesn't mean that it doesn't come with extreme annoyances. Especially this last trip this past weekend -- it was just like every possible grocery store annoyance ever made its appearance.

So, mainly because I was curious, I decided to poll New Englanders on Facebook on what their biggest annoyances while grocery shopping were. I really didn't think I was going to get as many as I did, and I definitely didn't expect to get as many repeats on such a widespread list as I did.

So, without any further adieu, let's hop right into it. Here are the 20 biggest annoyances while grocery shopping according to you/New Englanders. (And these are in somewhat in order from least annoying to most annoying. Sort of.)
