Drive your cart through the grocery store and grab as much food as you can, but try not to stack it too full, or else you will lose money from dropping groceries.
Note: This is a little unpolished. Especially the score screen. I didn't have time to add any sound either.
Keys: X : grab left C : grab right Left : turn left Right : turn right Up : forward Down : backward
no groceries ever showed up on the shelves, and was fairly buggy. I personally liked the drawn on graphics, and game could be good given some polishing.
Yeah, I was planning on drawing groceries for each section, but I ran out of time. There are separate sections of groceries, there's just no visual indicator :P
All I could think of while playing this was "Supermarket Sweep". And then I read your journal, and sure enough, you were thinking the same thing. Thank you.
I feel like this game has two ideas that would work independently, but when combined feel a bit weird. The dropping game doesn't need the narrative of the supermarket nor the distinct foods to work well. And the supermarket spree is hampered by the dropping mechanic, which puts limits on how frantic the shopping portion can be. I might split these up into two separate games, and consider how to fill in the gap left by the other in a way that accentuates the strong aspects of each.

Found it much easier to control when going backwards. That's how I'll do my shopping from now on...
