"Cost of Living in UK" drabbles by Frenchie

Perfect timing...

Cost of Living in UK #1

With the rising cost of living in the UK, Bessie's budget is now tighter than an Olympian's spandex. Nevertheless, she has four mouths at home to feed and payday is far away.
At the supermarket, her shopping trolley remains empty.
A woman at the till near the door finishes scanning her items. Bread, pasta, butter and milk. The woman realises she forgot something and leaves to get it.
Perfect!
Seizing the opportunity, Bessie scoops all the items in her bag and makes a mad dash for the door, thankful she was a sprinter in her days.

Tomorrow, change of venue...
