The woman opposite me was laid low with a shoulder replacement and I
did her grocery shopping with mine for several weeks.

She had to have everything organic and it was a noticeably higher bill
than mine and half the stuff didn't even look as nice, even though we
were buying much of the same stuff. I also found that the organic
section has stinky stuff like soap, hand cream etc. that made me feel
nauseated.
