![]() ![]() 22nd May 1955 – 18th April 2018įive jolly good reasons why you need to subscribe to Retrohen: Follow them and there’s no doubt you’ll be crowned king or queen of the Supermarket Sweep. So there you have it, five tips for doing a bit better whilst dashing down the supermarket aisles. Remember: brakes are not just for transportation vehicles, they are for shopping too! Reversing will be redundant once you’ve mastered this braking technique and you’ll save valuable time. The conventional way of stopping a shopping trolley does not cut it in this swift game, so make use of those lightweight trainers: use the rubber heels as brakes. Brakes on! Supermarket Sweep is all about speed and there will be times when you need to stop sharply to grab that valuable item off the shelf. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s the Eddie the Eagle supermarket trolley technique! When executed correctly, you be speeding down the aisles like a bullet. Once you’ve gathered enough speed, lift your feet off the ground, put your body weight on the trolley and keep at a 45 degree angle. This is done by sprinting with both hands on the trolley handle. Use your loaf, and whilst sprinting down bakery aisle, go for the Mr Kipling Angel Slices and not the large economy sliced bread! You’ll also waste valuable time getting another trolley. There’s no point in slinging large cheaper items into your trolley and ignoring the smaller premium priced products – if you do, your trolley will be full in no time and worth very little cash. Two chilled salmon fillets is likely to cost more than a four pack of toilet tissue. Caution: don’t be fooled by some trendy looking trainers that look stompy – you’re on Supermarket Sweep to compete in a trolley dash, not in a fashion show! A light pair of trainers with a good sole grip and flexibility is the obvious choice. ![]() It makes no sense wearing a lightweight shell suit then messing up by wearing weighty footwear that’s more suitable for stomping on cockroaches. Caution: make sure the shell suit is not see-through. ![]() A shell suit, socks and useful footwear is all you need. Less weight is essential for speeding through the supermarket aisles and no underwear is advantageous. Yes, that right, ditch the Y-Fronts, bras, knickers, thongs and string vests. Still, here are five tips that I feel would help the contestants do a bit better… I do realise that Dale’s supermarket was carefully designed for the TV studio – there is unlikely to be any spirits above twenty pounds. If I was dashing around a supermarket with the aim of filling my trolley with the most expensive products, I’d be tearing down the spirits aisle grabbing a few bottles of 15 year old single malt whisky. I’VE always thought the contestants could do a bit better when dashing around the supermarket with their trolleys. ![]()
