Put the items in your preferred order.
The Big Weekly Shop at Tesco
Do you split the list or wander aimlessly together? Nothing exposes compatibility like negotiating over own-brand versus branded beans.

A Rainy Walk on A Coastal Path
Sharing a Thermos while being battered by drizzle in Cornwall or Whitby is oddly bonding. If you're still laughing by mile three, it's love.

A Trip to B&Q for 'One Thing'
Nothing says commitment like debating eggshell versus matt for a wall neither of you will look at again. Bonus points for a Wickes detour.
