Usually I don't go to the supermarket with my mom because of several little things, one of them is that she usually goes to one that is close to home which is very small, and the time she likes to go is when there are more people, so between the smallness and the amount of people everywhere I prefer to stay at home, plus she knows a lot of people and the trip lasts longer than usual because she stops to talk to everyone and I don't have much patience 🤣
That said, on Friday pssado I had to take her to the health center that is in our town to get some vitamin injections that she had been taking during the week, plus I had to take MatÃas because he had a sore throat (turned out to be tonsillitis), and when we left there she told me she wanted to do some quick shopping at the supermarket and since she needed to buy MatÃas' medicines we went together.
Of course before going in I reminded him that Mati wasn't feeling well and to try not to stop too long to talk and go home as soon as possible 🤣
This supermarket is part of a chain of which there are several on the island, and although this is its smallest branch, they managed to include everything that the other branches offer, so it has a pharmacy, ice cream, deli and butcher, vegetables and fruits, spices, household items, including items for minor repairs at home and even for the care of vehicles, lingerie, stationery and office, liquor, imported products and even an optician! Don't ask me how they managed to fit everything in that space, but they did it, there is a little bit of everything, and for us who are retired from everything, it is a blessing. And if that's not enough, he accepts Cashea.
Once we got inside we went straight to the pharmacy inside the supermarket and I bought MatÃas' medications and then went to help my mom with her shopping.
The supermarket was practically alone, so I was happy because I didn't have to bump into people at every moment and I was sure we would be done in no time, and in fact we were.
We went first to the fruit and vegetable area which was very well stocked that morning and with a great variety of fruits. There my mom grabbed a few things, then went through the deli restocking ham and cheese, and finally bought oatmeal, milk, and other little things she was needing.
Luckily she didn't run into anyone she knew 🤣, so as soon as she finished picking all the products we went straight to the checkout, and while she was waiting for her turn, I walked around a few times to see the new organization that the supermarket had as they had an area for canned seafood products that looked super nice, they also had another shelf exclusively for dairy and also for Mary products, which looked very eye-catching and organized.
Finally, when he finished canceling we went back home, this time there was no ice cream because Mati had a cough and we didn't want to eat without him doing it, so we had to wait for the next time.
Generalmente no voy al supermercado con mi mamá por varias cositas, una de ellas es que suele ir a uno que está cerca de casa que es muy pequeño, y a la hora en que le gusta ir es cuando más personas hay, asà que entre lo pequeño y la cantidad de gente por todos lados prefiero quedarme en casa, además que conoce a muchÃsima gente y la salida dura más de lo normal porque se detiene a hablar con todos y yo no tengo mucha paciencia 🤣
Dicho esto, el viernes pssado me tocó llevarla al centro de salud que queda en nuestro pueblo para colocarse unas inyecciones de vitamina que se estuvo poniendo durante la semana, además que tenÃa que llevar a MatÃas porque estaba con molestia en la garganta (resultó ser amigdalitis), y al salir de ahà me dijo que querÃa hacer algunas compras rápidas en el súper y como necesitaba comprar los medicamentos de MatÃas fuimos juntos.
Por supuesto antes de entrar le recordé que Mati no se sentÃa bien y que tratara de no detenerse mucho tiempo a conversar para ir a casa lo más pronto posible 🤣
Este supermercado, forma parte de una cadena de la cual hay varios en la isla, y a pesar de que esta es su sucursal más pequeña lograron incluir todo lo que ofrecen las otras sucursales, asi que cuenta con farmacia, heladerÃa, charcuterÃa y carnicerÃa, vegetales y frutas, especies, artÃculos para el hogar, incluidos artÃculos para reparaciones menores en casa y hasta para el cuidado de los vehÃculos, lencerÃa, papelerÃa y oficina, licores, productos importados y hasta una óptica! No me pregunten cómo hicieron para meter todo en ese espacio, pero lo lograron, hay de todo un poco, y para nosotros que estamos retirados de todo, es una bendicion. Y por si fuera poco, acepta Cashea!
En fin, una vez entramos fuimos directo a la farmacia que se encuentra dentro del supermercado y compré los medicamentos de MatÃas para luego ir a ayudar a mi mamá con sus compras.
El supermercado estaba prácticamente solo, asà que yo estaba feliz porque no tenÃa que tropezarme con la gente a cada instante y estaba segura que terminarÃamos en poco tiempo, y de hecho fue asÃ.
Fuimos primero al área de frutas y vegetales que estaba muy bien surtida esa mañana y con una gran variedad de frutas. Ahà mi mamá tomó algunas cosas, luego pasó por la charcuterÃa reponiendo jamón y queso, y finalmente compró avena, leche, y otras cositas que estaba necesitando.
Por suerte no se encontró con nadie conocido 🤣, asà que en cuanto terminó de escoger todos los productos fuimos directo a la caja, y mientras ella esperaba su turno, di algunas vueltas para ver la nueva organización que tenÃa el supermercado pues tenÃan un área para enlatados de productos del mar que estaba súper linda, además tenÃan otro estante exclusivo para lácteos y también para los productos Mary, que se veÃan bien llamativas y organizadas.
Finalmente, cuando terminó de cancelar regresamos a casa, esta vez no hubo helados porque Mati tenÃa muchÃsima tos y no querÃamos comer sin que el lo hiciera, asà que quedamos pendientes con las barquillas para la próxima vez.
