Hey! I was just wondering how you all get masses of food for messing with. If I go out and buy stuff I feel really awkward & make about 5 different trips to different shops because the reality of walking around with like loads of cake mix / food is so excruciating and I feel so self conscious & I worry a lot about bumping into people I know, god forbid if I bumped into some people I work with! I ordered something from amazon pantry but forgot they attach receipts so I'm in for some fun times. What's the best way to do this? I would love to care less what people think but I simply cannot.
It would appear amazon pantry didn't add a receipt! I wonder if they only do that for an order above a certain amount of items (or whether one of the people packaging it thought 'hey this is a bit suspect, lets just not add a receipt for the poor bugger'. Ordered 8 boxes of cake mix & will be getting *extremely* messy later! 4 boxes was enough to cover me whole with no remaining mess to play with so 8 will be heaven
PS: As an aside if you're new to WAMing then Cake mix is one of the best substances I can recommend to you for starting out. It's water soluble and cleans up like a dream, can be whatever thickness you want, doesn't seem to lose it's form over time, feels absolutely amazing too and comes in all sorts of different flavours! I also find the smell only lasts like a day too, unlike with dairy in them. The only downside is that watery substances will make it lose it's thickness so watch what you combine it with
I've been buying huge quantities of things like custard, soup, beans, etc in local supermarkets for years. No-one bats an eyelid. Shop workers don't care who buys what, they just want to get to the end of the shift so they get paid at the end of the month. Like it says in the song, "the Martians could land in the car-park and no-one would care." It's actually a bit scary how little attention most people pay to what's round about them but that benefits us buying gunge.
If you're worries about meeting people you knowing the shops, drive to another town. Also, shopping in the middle of the night tends to mean far fewer people (and faster checkout). I usually shop for gunge supplies between one and three in the morning.
Hi. Totally understand what youre saying; I feel the same. The other solution is to spread your shopping over a peroid of time and amongst differant shops. I prefer to use the biggest quantity of mess I can get my hands on. Opportunities for me don't occur that often, plus I dont have huge amounts of cash available at one time, so I tend to plan it well in advance and slowly build my supply. There are also five stores within walking distance of my home so if I buy two in each shop thats already a good start.
Buying large quantities of related products is not a problem. If you order loads of cake mix, just tell them you are running a cookery class. If you order 50 sacks of clay (to make a mud pit) just say you are holding a pottery convention.
Where it becomes tricker to explain things is when you order seemingly unrelated items at the same time....e.g. I once got some funny looks from the supermarket checkout girl when I had a shopping trolley with dozens of cans of baked beans, several dozen packets of pantyhose and 20 boxes of douche. All I could do is smile at the checkout girl and say "Don't Ask".
We just go to the shop and buy what we need. Never got a strange look. Sometimes its fun to tell the truth because they'll never believe you. I once went to the hardware store to buy 50m of rope for bondage. The owner asked me what I would be building with it. I told him that it was to tie up my Cleo. He couldn't stop laughing and told me what a joker I was.
Stock piling over time. I do this more to spread the cost than to be discreet and also because some local supermarkets just don't hold enough stock of certain items to buy all I require in one go.
Go to a large supermarket where nobody knows you.
I get treacle in bulk from Amazon Prime Pantry. The cheapest and easiest way. The cans arrive the next day in several Amazon cardboard boxes with no clue as to what's inside other than they are exceedingly heavy!
The thing to remember is that, although YOU know somebody is going to be wearing this stuff rather than eating it, it's really not the first thing anybody else will be thinking, I can assure you. There are are plenty of great excuses as given above.
Honestly most people aren't going to care. On the off chance they do, say what you want if they ask you about it. I purchased 55 tubs of cool whip on Saturday, using Kroger's click shop or whatever it was. You order and pay online and they deliver it to your car. Easy peasy. Now, the person bringing it out asked what it was for (she said the prevailing guess was for a youth group event). I just said it was for a charity pie in the face event. And then everyone went on with their lives.
Long story short, do what you want and screw what other people think.
Most people aren't going to see you buying a lot of food and immediately jump to the conclusion that you're going to pleasure yourself with it. You're the only one thinking that.

I'm sure this is right. The shop assistant almost has to know about WAM in the first place for the possibility to occur to them. Leon has always said it's in the eye of the beholder when asked what the public spotting a MostWam shoot in progress think - we know he's shooting fetish material, but those who don't will just think, and can only think, that it's for Comic Relief, or a dare, or a silly bet, because if they've no awareness of WAM then how can they recognise it?
In fact, you could argue that if you do sense the attractive girl on the checkout seems to know what you're doing as she scans your stuff, then maybe it's even worth asking her if she wants to...although that would take a lot of balls, I admit

Funnily enough that song's been running through my head recently too, although it's the "While American businessmen snap up Van Goghs/For the price of a hospital wing" line that I keep thinking of.
Of course, I've no idea why that would keep occurring to me in our unequal, capitalism isn't working for everyone times...

Damn I wish people around me where that naive. I used to make multiple trips to different stores to avoid awkward conversations, then I got sick of that and started buying in bulk and I do tend to get odd looks and questions from people. It seems to be worse when I'm with my boyfriend, when we are together it looks pretty sketchy, lol.
As awful as this sounds I tend to look for cashiers who look unhappy like they hate their job. Those are the ones that are less likely to start a conversation with you. Old white ladies are the worst, they always want to talk even if you're just buying a box of tampons.
Self checkouts are a wonderful thing. I think Walmart is even doing one where you get an app and scan stuff as you throw it in your cart so you don't have a long check out.
Took me a bit to get over it. Food is not a big deal. I am a male so when I go in a store and buy 6 bottles or more of my favorite St. Ives lotion, I can get some looks. And rarely I might buy makeup and that gets reaction results. I took a few minuets to find a colour I wanted and all the women cleared out the isle. I will never see them again so what ever. Try to use self checkout when I can. So don't sweat it Bud! The truth is not every one is going to like you. You have not harmed anyone to get your beans.
