Kate Middleton Shops At Tesco In Jeans & Boots (PHOTOS)

Red carpet gowns are fun to ogle, but what we love even more is checking out what our favorite celebs and royals wear off-duty, without the help of a stylist or an arsenal of borrowed dresses.

Kate Middleton, for one, has been choosing jeans these days -- a girl after our own heart. After appearing at an elementary school a few days back in jeans and a tan cowl neck sweater (causing one of the students to remark, "She doesn't look like a Princess. Where's her dress?"), the Duchess popped into Tesco in a strikingly similar outfit to pick up groceries yesterday.

Of course it's not the first time we've seen Catherine shopping for her own foodstuffs. Shortly after her much-watched wedding, she went virtually undetected at a local grocery store and later in the summer made a Tesco run in a chic sweater and flats.

This time around, Kate wore jeans again for a food run in North Wales, where she reportedly picked up veggies, milk, chicken and Haagan-Dazs ice cream. For those wondering, we didn't see any typical pregnancy-craving items in her cart... nor did we see her famous sapphire engagement ring. Having it cleaned, Kate?

See the pics below -- are you as impressed as we are that Catherine's hair looks so perfect even at the grocery store?

She does have her ring on, the stone is turned under her finger so it is not conspicuous. It is both socially aware and classy of her.

I think it's a classy move to not flaunt a giant ring all the time, specially on casual days. it doesn't even match or seem appropriate then. I've never owned nice jewelry so I would be afraid to chip it or lose it while doing normal activities like grocery shopping. using your hands more often about the day like that would increase the chances or harming it or losing it. and such a special special ring too!! it's almost "braggy" placing so much important on a piece of jewelry to wear it everyday even to fill the gas tank or food shop. giant protuding rings almost seem uncomfortable and as if you could scratch yourself or anyone at any second. and it seems to me that this Princess would agree with me! that's a small gold wedding band it looks like and its gorgeous and simple! i grew up with Princess Diana as my icon role model and even when i was real young I wanted her to be my mom almost (had a bad one), seeing her always holding and loving children, genuinely affected by their hardships. and seeing Kate exemplify some of those humble, graceful, genuine, sweet and down to earth qualities that Diana had even while being a princess makes me so happy. i'm honored to grow up with (3 years old than me) Kate and wish them all the best, and privacy!!!

Only in America will you find trash videos of important people, and important people that get trashed.

You've never read a European tabloid, have you?

Britain is notorious for trash tabloids and it even gave the U.S. Murdoch and his impeccable "style" ..snark.

She's a commoner. Commoners go grocery shopping in jeans. No big deal.

Good on you Kate! Hell, just cuz yer a royal shouldn't mean you can't shop for your own food or clothes, or even take advantage of the holiday season by shopping for your loved ones. Be regular, be yourself; why should WE have all the fun in life?!! You GO GIRL!!
BTW, Happy Thanksgiving to you and all of the Royals.

She's British, we don't do "THANKSGIVING", maybe we should be thankful that the Puritans found America.....

I'm not really into the Royals but I like her. She seems sweet and she's from a northern English background like me, sticks it up those aristocratic southern sh*ts a little bit. You'll probably understand the significance of that a bit more if you're a Brit!

What's it matter if she will now become one of them?

Catherine is buying groceries! She's going to make a wonderful queen one day. She is indeed a very impressive woman considering there are probably 50 other women clamoring to do that for her.
I like her and Will. I like them a lot! He chose a wonderful wife and his mom and dad have raised a good son.

Skinny jeans at $170 to $200 a pair.
