Grocery Shopping Paradise

These large cities in Italy rock for grocery shopping!

First of all, you can scan you own entries AS YOU SHOP. You simply insert one of your credit cards or debit cards to get a scanner and this gadget tracks what you want to buy. You then go to the cashier who just takes the scanner from you and takes your payment. Cash or the card. They don't even double check what you have in your cart...unless of course they don't believe you...then they rescan or do a quick check. Love this system!

When you go to the vegetable/fruit department you must use these very thin plastic gloves to touch any of the unwrapped produce before selecting what you want. You then put your selection in a bag...weigh it and enter the product code to get this little sticker you apply on the bag that gives the price. The cashier then simply scans it or you scan it yourself. So so easy!!

The ice cream section is totally unbelieveable. I stopped counting after 60 different types you can buy. They also have these teeny tiny ice creams...smaller than our mini ones. I have a picture of me eating one......after I paid for them of course.

In one of the grocery stores I saw a VINO machine that disburses white or red wine. You simply fill up your bottles. Just like our water dispensers. I've been told that vino sucks...thought the homeless like it.

I've got to now say that our grocery stores are pretty boring.
