Funny, I was going to say another one of my superpowers is, I can make a bottle of bourbon vanish.
Cherry pie, Yum.
All the real dealing is done on the gulf course. Don't be late for your tee time.
With caffeine, chewing gum and a radio I can drive great distances in a car. In 2021 I did two days in a row of 17 hrs driving, solo. I took a seven hour rest stop in between. Knock on wood that I don't fall asleep on the four hour drive I'm about to make just now after a day at the Delaware shore

I'm really good at grocery shopping. Give me a list and I'll find everything, provided it's located in the area. My girlfriend dislikes shopping so it works out great. She does most of the housework (and likes it), which isn't my favorite, except for doing the dishes. Now, remembering names, ugh.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but you just described "buying", not "shopping". Most guys are good at buying. Women are good at shopping.
Buying: You have a list, you get the stuff on the list, you come home with the stuff.
Shopping: No list. You go to stores and look at stuff. You touch and examine each item, even if identical, you talk to salespeople about various topics even if it does not involve the stuff. You go to another store, repeat until time to stop for Cinnabon or Starbucks. Return home even if you have not bought any stuff.
Superpowers:
-Jigsaw puzzles. I am abnormally good at these and don't join in until everyone else gave up because it's just the hard part(s) left.
-Adding stuff to leftover takeout and making it better than what it was originally at the restaurant
-Writing over long forum posts that I end up deleting instead of posting, realizing that no one is going to care about the content except me (and I read it already anyway). "You mean it gets worse than what you usually post?" Yes.

I do plenty of shopping without a list. I know how to pick out meat and look for the best produce. I'm somewhat limited in Auburn ME to mass market stores but make occasional trips to Portland for more specialty items like Caribbean bangers at Pat's Meat market or speck from Micucci's Market.
Seemed appropriate for this thread...
Your superpower is that you can put a smile on another person's face while wearing a frown on yours
This thread makes me think of the story/joke about a group of people that are out to dinner and they are bragging about how much money they make. The lawyer is saying he makes a seven digit salary and he turns to the teacher and says "what do you make", and the teacher comes back and says "I make all other professions".
