Yesterday was #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle - this wonderous joy of post creating is a superb way to have a bit of fun and create a unique post from your life experience. This is the first time I have joined in, although I have enjoyed reading through many posts by content creators - especially @dswigle and also @old-guy-photos who always makes them that bit special - but he does that with all his posts, I can't lie I learned how to post here from a true Jedi Master. I was however quite inspired by Denise's latest Market Friday https://steemit.com/marketfriday/@dswigle/market-friday-goes-cruising - although I was a little surprised because I thought from the title it was going to involve many male strip bars 🤔
So for my Market Friday I'm breaking the first Rule of Market Friday - and posting it on a Saturday. Two good reasons for this, I always try to post my vlog on a Friday (except when I fall asleep before finishing it!) and I tend to do my physical store shopping on a Saturday because I work during the day all week. To be fair other then food shopping anything else I need I buy online - I'm not a big fan of trailing round shops when Amazon will deliver to my door next day for free and often the products are cheaper as well.
For this Supermarket food shop I am at my local Tesco (actually they have three stores near where I live but this is the biggest and has everything I need today)
I'm not buying flowers today, my other half would of course like to receive a bunch but with the Steem price drop we all have to make sacrifices...
Plus if I take some pictures I can message them to her during the week, here are some flowers my dear I won't be buying for you - enjoy!
The dark red Roses have seen better days, still quite a nice display though.
This is quite a substantial store, you could pretty much buy everything you needed from food to electronics and hardware, general household goods, toys and they have a Pharmacy as well for medication.
Today though it's just a food shop for me, I'm stocking up with the weekly essentials - with maybe a few extra as the snowy weather is going to be with us for quite a few more days.
I have by now though become aware that the other shoppers are wondering why the tiny tit with a beard is photographing things in the shop - I decide to start being a little more stealthy while taking the photos.
Using a mobile for the photos make it a little easier, I start using the volume down button rather then pressing on the display so it could at least seem like I am looking at something on the mobile rather then taking pictures of fruit!
Trying my best to stock up on the good stuff.
Anyone for a Pepper, the yellow ones are mysteriously popular. I prefer Red to be honest.
I do like to indulge in some Cheese, although it does play havoc with my dreams - some say that is an old wives tale but I can guarantee if I nibble past 5pm I have the most obscure dreams.
Chicken is always a good staple for us, I apologise in advance to those who do not eat meat - avert your eyes for the next one too.
I can't shake the feeling people are judging me on this though, every time I take a picture it feels like everyone in the store is looking at me. No doubt they are paying no attention - but it's a nagging feeling that will not leave me.
Anyone for a little fish? I do like fish but none today for me.
Some lovely fresh bread on offer, we get through plenty of bread so I always pick up a few loafs.
Fortunately as I end my trolley filling experience the checkouts are not too busy.
Let's play where did @c0ff33a park - I'll give you a hint - look between the two opposing arrows at the furthest away car on it's own. I need all the exercise I can get, and because this car is being leased - I have to return it after four years and any dents or damage will be charged extra - so I try to park well away from the people who use the car parked next to them as their own car door stopper!
I think they need to invest in a few more trolley bays, I had the bigger size trolley but it seems nobody wanted to take their mid size trolley to the next bay.
I took this Panorama when I arrived, except a car drive past while I was doing it leaving a ghost of it. So I ended up doing a new one when I was about to leave - but in a way this still works quite well.
And of course, the trip would not be complete without the speeded up footage of me driving to the store and back from it

You're so nice for commenting on this post. For that, I gave you a vote! I just ask for a Follow in return!
I am honored that you joined the challenge. Don't worry, they weren't looking at you. They wait for people like me that go in with my Canon Hehe.. they even ask them to smile.
I must say that I did 200 pictures at Victoria's Secret around Christmas and it was a very popular blog, but, I am pretty sure I cannot go back there again.
Oh, yes!
I am still laughing over the flowers. Well played, my friend. As long as she doesn't send you back pictures of your dinner, you are golden. The full complete, unvarnished coff33 shopping trip was awesome.
The ride up and back was epic and I always look forward to that. :)
Thank you for taking the time and energy to put it all together. I was awesome. Upvoted and Resteemed Tip!
Denise I had your dainty boots and @old-guy-photos great big steel toe caps to fill - so I was pretty sure throwing up a picture of my trolley would not cut it in the big guys and gals league. Ah yes the flowers, we do not have a pet dog but our next door neighbour has two - they could be getting very well fed this week! Thank you for the kind words, I enjoyed trying this out even if it did make me a little paranoid that people were looking at me taking photos all the time.
Hehehe. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall and watched you. :)
Very nice post sir @c0ff33a
The most beautiful of that is the pictures But did not go to the place selling coffee hahaha
Thank you, and you are quite correct I should have tried to sell them some coffee.

Whenever i take pics in a public place i feel like peiple are looking at me too...hahah
Thanks for taking a look, I'm quite sure nobody is bothered at all but there is always that nagging feeling someone is just staring wondering what on earth you are doing!
Great post just makes me miss the convenience of UK supermarkets, shopping in Asia is a little different as you can imagine. The panorama pic looks like you caught a glimpse of a parallel dimension , pretty cool i'd say.
I really like the amount of effort put into this post and it just shows that ordinary everday places can make for great blogs.
nice work bro, i really appreciate your work
Thanks, yes I am sure it quite a difference experience where you are right now. I do like the Market Friday idea - people sharing their shopping experiences from around the world is very interesting - quite amazing what stores around the world are like.
Yeah for sure I have a few ready for this coming Friday but I will probs spread them out a bit. Thanks again for the post.
@c0ff33a your are so funny! LoL
Thank you for sharing such a great market, I personally did not know this chain store.
Thanks, I have enjoyed other posts in the Market Friday tag and thought it was time to join in. I might spend a large portion of every week stalking around the supermarket aisles - but what's a mundane task for me can be quite entertaining for someone else!
This is lovely.
Thanks, I try my best :-)

i think it is ok that you broke market friday rules by posting on saturday.. at least you joined in!!! thanks for taking me shopping with you.. all that food looks really good right now. i love seeing stores from other places.
Thanks, apparently it's just the name of the tag and not a requirement to post on a Friday - who would know? I spend so much time in that Superstore, although it's alot quicker and cheaper if I go on my own leaving the family at home lol!
I know how you feel.. i like leaving everyone at home too...
Ha! I see you have fallen under the power of the

OMG you probably just gave her an idea for her next market Friday post: male strip bars LOL!
Sad that even the missus has to suffer when the coin drops!
They sure do have everything and a nice looking store as well!
Thanks Paul, it's a tough life lol. It's a packed store, although I always seem to end up going late into the afternoon when they are already selling out of lot's of stuff. It was fun joining in the Market Friday experience - after all I have enjoyed many of yours.
