Nobody likes doing the weekly shop, do they?
You have to fiddle around with the self-checkout machines, your arms ache from carrying the bags and there's always one item you forget to pick up.
Well, count yourself lucky that your trip to the supermarket doesn't take you hours.

One woman on a Canadian island has revealed that her grocery shopping takes her up to eight hours to complete.
Dominique Nobes lives on Island 203 in Lake Temagami, Canada, with fifteen other residents.
Nobes moved to the island with her husband in 2018, as she wanted to be self-employed and run a business renting out cottages on the island.

As much as she loves life on the quiet island, it's not an easy existence.
Her nearest store is a whopping 62 miles away and grocery shopping takes eight hours overall once the commute there and back is factored in.
Nobes and her hubby will drag her groceries home in a canoe, shifting it across the thin ice that surrounds their island.
Just before winter and spring, the ice was too thin to ride a snowmobile across but too thick to boat through.

As a result, Nobes' husband would drag the canoe across and tap his foot on the ice three times as he walked ahead, just to be safe.
In the winter months, Nobes brings her groceries home via snowmobile and she makes use of a boat in the summer months.
All in all, it's safe to say every shop is a 'big shop' when you live on Island 203.

Twice a year, the couple find themselves trapped in 'Ice-olation' as they get snowed into their house.
For two weeks, they'll be confined to their 500-square-foot home, with the first period coming in the winter and the second coming in the spring.
Nobes admits that the grocery shopping has taken a while 'to get right' as they often overbuy.
She said: "We were almost preparing for an apocalypse more than we were preparing for real life."

This approach led to the pair buying a lot of non-perishable items like dry beans, which then languished in the pantry and went unused.
Before embarking on their trip to the store, Nobes will plan their meals two weeks in advance, and they often try to fit other errands - such as dentist visits - into their excursions.
All in all, they estimate that they spend around $200 [£130] a week on groceries and petrol.
