Bob Wilson wanted cheese.

That was the first grocery aisle he headed down Saturday morning during his two-minute shopping spree at Bashas’ Grocery Store.

“I just bought one ticket,” said 67-year-old Bob Wilson of the London Bridge Lion’s Club annual grocery shopping spree raffle. “(I’ll) probably get cheese. I love cheese.”

Club members followed Wilson around the story Saturday has he raced from one aisle to the next. He could only take food and only three of each item. He and his wife went through the store Friday evening identifying the groceries to target, they said. He also received a $25 certificate for the meat department. The second place winner, Alycia Still, received a $50 meat certificate.

Wilson ended up with three blocks of sharp cheddar cheese, two party trays, a fruit tray, several cans of salmon, two six-packs of bottled Coca-Cola, several jugs of Clamato, and several cans of fruit cocktail.

His bill totaled $135.56, which the club paid for at a 10-percent discount.

“I think he did pretty good,” said his wife, Lynn Wilson. “I think (he got) almost everything on the list.”
