Same here. I never buy any product that is the first on the shelf: newspaper, groceries, clothes, etc.

A lot of times people help themselves to the Sunday coupons from the paper on top! I always dig down several papers to ensure that I get one that still has the coupons in it…

We once took a product that was displayed on the top in a Walmart store. The package looked slightly opened and resealed. But we still went ahead and purchased it. When we got back home, we found that it was missing a part. We had to drive back to the store to return it. So I don’t see anything wierd in not taking the item that is on top. It might be a returned or used item for all you know.

I do the same thing with the paper. I do the same with the milk too, but thats because I bought a jug one time that I think some one opened and took a drink out of.

I pull the newspaper from the second or third down as well. I always figured it was more protected and nothing would have fallen out of it. It looks like I’m not the only one with a security issue involving my newspaper!

My wife and I often do our finances similar to yours – we make joint decisions, but I usually make the transactions. Then I realized I had most of the information locked away in my mind, which is not a good situation if something were to happen to me.

Thanks for the mention.

LOL, so I am not the only weirdo who does that? I also never take the milk container in the front.
