An important question has arisen in the House of M. When shopping do you head straight to the toy section of a supermarket first or do your other shopping and get to the toy aisle when you get there?

I'm suspecting there may also be a deep connection between this question and the lack of fruit and veg in some residents lives...

Depends. USUALLY toy aisle first. But that depends on what store I'm going in, which entrance we've parked at if it's ASDA and if I'm after something specific non toy related.

The rule of shopping in supermarkets is this:
-toy section always looked at first along with magazines/comics/books. -then the clothing section for novelty t-shirts/socks. -the normal boring shopping.

Back in the day when supermarkets actually had decent toys in them I might well have gone there first, but these days on the weekly slog round Sainsburgeries? I don't even look. There's nothing there.
I very rarely get to Asda, so maybe in that case I'll go to the toy aisle first, but again, there's nothing ever there. If there was, the Hub would have told me and I'd be going there specifically to look for toys and not food.

But one day they'll start getting proper Transformers in again and if we never look...we'll never know!!!
Besides, supermarkets are good for Lego.

They also have the not lego rolls of tape down to £3 for 2m. I stuck a strip across the top of my monitor and have put the disney minifigures up there.

This question is sadly irrelevant to me, as, like Pinwig, the supers near me are all UTTERLY shit when it comes to toys. Has been for years. Even the next towns over ones are shit. I never look anymore. I've been hurt too many times. I just slog around the aisles... cursing the prices, and the plastic, and the prices... crest fallen, bitter, empty, powerless...

I proceed in an orderly fashion through the shop, picking up what I came there for as I pass it, them I cycle back past the toys and DVD aisle on my way past to the checkouts (usually followed by my weekly coffee in the coffee shop if it is my usual supermarket). That is the efficient way to get the actual mission accomplished and topped off with a bonus browse of the entertainment aisle.
