The Shopping Challenge - April 2011

Recently I was set a challenge by my loving other half, Master J. A sexy, daring challenge, relating to going shopping with a specific list of items to buy.

It’s a challenge not dis-similar to ones we’ve done before, but usually you get a list of various items to buy from various different stores, so the only difference with this one was that it was all from the one shop.

The location was a large branch of a leading UK supermarket chain. Not my local branch – one about a 15 minute drive from home, situated in a busy foot-traffic area.

The time frame was 6.30pm on a Friday evening – a time where the store is pretty busy with people popping in after work to do a bit of grocery shopping for the weekend, but generally a time where there are few children around, if any.

The outfit to complete the challenge in was a little short white summer dress and white strappy sandals with a 4” heel, and nothing underneath. If I wear underwear under this dress they can generally be seen through it, despite the dress not being see-through by design. I actually think you can see less through it without anything under it than you can when wearing underwear personally. But in good light, shadows and outlines can make it quite revealing, not to mention that length-wise, if I bend over or reach up high to a top shelf, I’m lucky if the dress covers me!

And the shopping list was this, to be picked up in this very specific but random order. Well I say random order, it was designed to maximise the time spent in store by walking from end to end then back again, with the items in my basket.

1) The sexiest, and skimpiest, lingerie set I am able to find.
2) A pair of fishnet stockings
3) The sluttiest looking pair of heels I can find.
4) A pack of candles.
5) A packet of condoms.
6) A bottle of flavoured lube.
7) A disposable vibrating cock ring (yes, you can buy them from supermarket chains! Lol)
8) A cucumber
9) Whipped Cream
10) A “to my boyfriend” birthday card.

So into the store I went, picked up a basket, and headed to the underwear section. To be honest, this store isn’t a La Senza or a Knickerbox, so the choices aren’t that wide, but I fulfilled my sub-plot to this part of the challenge by picking up several things and holding them up against myself to see how they may look, and gripping the bra’s around my breasts to see if they’d fit and how much they’d cover or how much support they’d give etc. Then when I’d found two suitably ‘inappropriate’ lingerie sets, I had to get a male opinion before I chose. It took a couple of minutes before I saw a guy walking down the main aisle past the section I was in, but when I found my prey I moved quickly, reaching out to touch his arm as I said in the sweetest voice I could muster, “excuse me, excuse me sir! I’m really sorry to trouble you, but I have a bit of a dilemma that I need a man’s opinion on!” He replied somewhat nervously, “erm, ok”. Telling him of my plight – I was trying to surprise my boyfriend on his birthday with some racy underwear, and I wasn’t sure which he’d prefer – I held up the two sets against myself and asked his opinion on which he’d most like to come home to find me wearing. He chose the black lacy chemise and thong combo ahead of the red and black bra and thong combo. “Thanks, you are an absolute star” I told him as I placed his chosen lingerie into my basket.

Next up was the hosiery aisle, where after some deliberation I chose the nicest pair of black fishnet hold-up stockings that they had, which was still a lower calibre of item than what I’d normally wear.

Onto item number 3, and I back-tracked past the lingerie to get to the shoe section. Again, this isn’t a shop I‘d normally go into to buy shoes; there’s nothing wrong with their shoes, but to find a good pair of nice looking sexy heels is a bit of a challenge. But I persisted, and followed the second sub-plot of my challenge by placing my basket containing my underwear and stockings on the bench, ensuring it was all positioned for maximum exposure to anybody passing. I tried on four pairs, bending provocatively as I fastened them, and generally flashing as much leg and anything else as I could when putting them on and taking them off (even though there was disappointingly too few people around in this section of the store to make it worthwhile). I walked up and down the shoe aisle in each of them, held my other purchases up against them to see if they went together, and finally decided on the sexiest looking pair I could find, which were fairly average in the bigger scheme of things, a red pair with an ankle strap and a heel that at a push was 4 inches. So into the basket they went.

And I move down my list – into the homewares aisle to get a pack of candles.

Then across the store to the pharmacy aisle, where I was to spend at least 5 minutes looking at items in the sex and contraception aisle, selecting the three items I needed. I carefully selected a packet of ribbed condoms after reading a few boxes to ensure I was getting the right kind, bending at the waist as I picked each packet up off the bottom shelf. Then I searched through the fun stuff for a bit, picking things up, looking at them, reading the packaging, I looked over the flavoured edible lubes and massage oils, even opening up a few of the bottles and putting a bit on my finger to taste them, before placing the durex vibrating cock ring and the flavoured lube that was on my shopping list into my basket. All this whilst people were walking past, buying toothpaste, aspirin’s, deodorants, and other run of the mill stuff!

Then with a basket full of stuff for a very fun evening, which personally I thought was enough for this challenge and would have made it perfectly adequate, I headed all the way from aisle 24 to aisle 2 to get item number 8. I think then final items on the list were just added for a bit of an extra embarrassment factor, as I picked up a cucumber from the salad section, whilst holding my basket of sexy non-food goods, getting a few passing second looks. Then across to the dairy section for some squirty whipped cream.

And finally, back across half the store to the greeting cards and stationery aisle, to make my “story” complete. A boyfriend birthday card – just to complete the tale of planning a special birthday treat evening for my beloved.

Can you imagine the looks I got from other shoppers and the cashier guy when I laid my ten items clearly and precisely on the conveyor belt, nothing hidden under something else or anything like that. Of course I wasn’t allowed to do self-checkout, even though I had 10 items or less as the sign above the self-serve express checkouts say.

The cashier served me with a big stifled grin. The lady in front of me did a huge double take of my inventory with a shocked open mouthed expression. The guys behind me were making rude and cheeky remarks to each other, about somebody having a fun evening planned etc, and as I paid and went to walk away, one of them said to me whilst holding back a laugh, “have a fun evening, love!” Ever calm and considered in these situations, I flashed a smile back and said “I will, don’t worry!” before walking away and out of the store, to J waiting in the car, at what seemed like the furthest away point of the car park possible, ready to inspect my shopping bag.
