Shopping Trolley Swopping

Do you ever have those days when you just need to spend money for genuine retail therapy. Perhaps you want to buy your favourite food and wine, get extra biscuits for snacks, hit the deli for a feast-fest, and stock up on all the DVDs that have just come out including the ones you wouldn't want your work colleagues to see you buying. Comfort shopping is the thing! Well, there is a very simple way to do this and save money. Simply stock up the trolley, then at the last minute, swop it for one with really healthy food, (and not much of it), briefly left unattended by a sensible mature-looking person who has just stopped to stock up on fruit and veg. Swiftly take the newly appropriated trolley to the opposite end of the store, (they will never suspect that there is a trolley-swopper on the loose unless they have been targetted before) and lo, you can be out of there, happy, healthy and emotionally sated in minutes. Please note that it is not wise to do this if there are long queues at the checkout, if the trolley has a handbag in it or if the trolley has a child in it... and don't run too fast with the trolley or security will be alerted.
