Trigger warning could be spelling mistakes (sorry)
I found myself in an interesting position today..
I went down to save mart Levin with my toddler today to have a look around and find some bargains.
I was stopped at the door pritty quickly and was then told I can not have my hand bag in the store.. her words were leave it in the car or leave it up at the counter...
Now I will admit I did see the sign but I was abit shocked as my hand bag is not a huge one I really didn't think it was going to be an issue well boy I was wrong.
Now I would totally understand if I had a big backpack or a extra large handbag
But the thing is my car is a keyless entry so if I was to "leave my bag in the car" any jo blogs could jump in and zoom off , if I was to bring my keys in I am then juggling keys, a wallet and a toodler all whilst looking for my bargains.
There was no way I felt comfortable leaveing my bag at the counter because by the way they act about theft ect.. how am I to know that my handbag is even safe behind their counter?
I am just abit shocked about the while experience and so bummed as I left because I did not feel safe leaving my bag anywhere but my shoulder! I have never experienced anything like this before
My question is have any of you? Am I over reacting? What do you guys think has this happened to anyone els?

It felt like a cruel joke, when the brown paper bag from the supermarket arrived in my mailbox last week. I stared at it in disbelief as I read the instructions to fill the bag with groceries to help a family in need.

"I cant believe they did that" I muttered and threw the bag in the recycle bin.
The supermarkets have made millions in profits over the past two years while the rest of us mere mortals struggled to make ends meet. The first thing they did when the pandemic began was to remove all specials from the shelves. My shop went up by around $50 per week and its kept going from there. Some people report that their former $150 shop now costs $300 or more. Food costs only make up approx 18% of the CPI, so the real cost of food increases is somewhat hidden.
Demand for food parcels has risen exponentially and many working families are now queuing at the food banks as people struggle with these rising costs. So now that the supermarkets are raking it in, they have decided to put it back on the consumer and ask them to foot the bill. Not only are we paying round 50% more for our food, but we are supposed to dig deep and support the people the supermarkets have priced out of the market. All the while making the supermarket look like the good guys. The arrogance is gob smacking.
If I was a food bank manager right now I'd probably feel I had to bite my tongue and accept the goods, but it would feel like the Tobacco Industry funding cancer research. I refuse to support this disingenuous piece of marketing. What do others think?

My Devon Rex cat, Conrad, has been missing from the upper end of Langdale Road since Thursday morning. I miss him terribly and ask if people in that area would check their garages and sheds.
