Be 'senior smart' about safety

An elderly lady is shopping at a local grocery store. She places her unzipped, fairly large, beige purse in the baby seat of the shopping cart. She strolls down an aisle and stops at the tomato sauces. She needs a good sauce to go with the pasta meal she is planning to cook later in the week.
