Weekend grocery shopping to a turn last weekend. She who must be obeyed suggested that we head to Publix instead of our normal trip to Hellmart (Walmart). Found out later the reason was that Publix carries CottonCandy Grapes. 
While I don't care for the prices of Publixs when compared to Hellmart and there is the part of an extra 10 minutes to our drive the difference is like night and day! It may be simply that there are fewer people so I don't feel so smothered. Honestly, I can't nail down any real specifics but it was such a better trip than we walk into the chaos of the local hellmart. May have been that people seemed more apt to ignore us or that everything is simply a little more spread out. We did hear "Oh what a pretty puppy" and the like, but never a follow-up, kissy sounds, and the like.
So, unfortunately for my wallet, we will try this again next time we head to the grocery store. Have to try to figure out if I like it due to it being a new experience or is there something else going on?
