Have you ever experienced boredom that seemed to reach an entire new level and you didn't know what to do? I'm sure we all have.

If misery loves company, I'm sure boredom wouldn't mind either. Here are 20 things you can do in a grocery store besides actually spending your money on groceries.

8. Ride around in the handicap accessible motor shopping carts.

17. Find a bunch of cooker timers, set them to go off at the same time, and run!
