Do We Have Too Much Choice In Shops

[emmie]

or is that the point, one has the freedom to choose...
i went online to book my roughly weekly shop and put in
shampoo and nearly 200 variants came up.

[emmie]

it didn't come up with the one i needed but hey ho that's life.. lol

[woofgang]

well yes but I bet some of those were pet shampoo, carpet shampoo and so on.

[dannyk13]

Surely its better to have too much choice thnt too little.

[emmie]

no they weren't, only shampoo's for humans....i know because i scrolled through the whole lot trying to find mine, it didn't show up in search box.

[davebro]

I often find I'm "spoilt for choice" and end up getting nothing or same as before.

[emmie]

i guess Danny, but i find it confusing sometimes...

[emmie]

dave
me too...

[ummmm]

If you've bought it before go into your previous orders.

[emmie]

i did, but it didn't show.
i put in ready meals and it came up with 579 choices, crikey..

[teacake44]

Along with the hundreds and hundreds of cleaning products polluting the planet, and that's before the plastic bottle gets dumped.

[ummmm]

You'll have to be more specific.

[emmie]

who ummm?

[emmie]

you go into a supermarket and the choice is endless.
i can't do that any more so shop online.
i was being specific when i put in the type of shampoo
but it doesn't seem available, yet i bought it before.

[ummmm]

You, Emmie.

I was looking for razors last night and got loads of results. I out in Mach 3 and just a few results.

[ummmm]

It should still be on your your previous orders though even if they no longer stock it.

[emmie]

sainsburys are odd, you put in previous orders and it won't necessarily give you the date you want...
never mind will have to go and buy some from superdrug..

[Canary42]

Yes. The point I also made about soap earlier on another thread.

[emmie]

canary agree with you, too much plastic, but the shampoo bottles are plastic....

I reckon my parents would be spinning in their grave to read this post.
Too much choice??? In their day they were lucky to escape the night and lucky if the shop was still there. After queuing for an hour or so they might consider themselves lucky if there was two eggs and tin of meat left in their ration. Don't knock it emmie. :-)

[emmie]

i am not knocking it as such, more confused over the amount of stuff we can have if we so choose.
