- Flour - located one aisle over from the bread beside the tinned fruit - at least bread is made with flour
- Applesauce - located with the ketchup - they are both "sauces"
- Salad Dressings - located above the frozen vegetables - of course
- Pickles - Polish pickles are located in the world foods aisle - of course! But the rest are above the frozen chips, aka french fries
- Fresh milk - located next to the refrigerated fruit juices and across from the refrigerated "kid friendly" desserts - all other dairy is on a completely different aisle
- Shelf milk - with the tea of course
- Baking cocoa - with the coffee
- Eggs - located on an unrefrigerated aisle across from the ethnic foods
- Sugar - In the "baking" aisle with the flour? Nope! In the cookie aisle with other sweet things? Nope! I know, I know . . . in the candy aisle because candy is made with sugar? Nope!!

Grocery shopping in another country is always an adventure. The hardest part (aside from reading the labels in another language - thankfully that's no longer an issue) is trying to think how they would logically organize the store. To this day, and I've lived here 15 months now, I still have to stop and try to "think British" to figure out where some things are. Here's a smattering so that you can get the picture.
