There are few places more full of quiet drama than the supermarket. From the existential dread of the self-checkout to the silent judgement of the “10 items or fewer” queue, it’s a world where patience is tested and bargains are pursued with surprising intensity. Naturally, it’s also a rich hunting ground for humour — neatly stacked, but rarely orderly.

The supermarket may promise convenience, but it delivers comedy in equal measure — usually somewhere between aisle three and the receipt total. Whether you’re hunting bargains or just trying to remember why you went in at all, The Sage advises one thing above all: never shop hungry… and always bring a sense of humour.
