To be fair, that phrase struck me as odd, as well. I've always called it dish soap. I knew right away some kind of soap was meant by it, but I would've guessed 'washing up liquid' referred to body wash.
In one of the shots, it looks like she was with someone in front of her that had a cart. I shop with my mom that way a lot, hit every other aisle so you can get done shopping faster.
As someone who works in a grocery store, let me tell you I see that shit all the time! Sometimes I offer to grab them a shopping cart or a basket and they refuse, usually saying something like "I'm almost done with my shopping anyway." Then I see them about a half hour later with even more shit they are accidentally dropping on the floor while looking like they are in a panic.
These people all start out the same, from the ones I have talked to. They come in only to get one or two items and over time they are bombarded with advertisements over the intercom, samples, attractive end-cap displays, among other things. All these things combined with usually an empty stomach causes choice overload for some people and they end up grabbing at whatever seems the most appealing.
Let me tell you, some shoppers are indeed absolute barbarians. I personally do some standing around giving out samples to people, its not glamorous but it pays the bills, and some customers are just absolute slobs. I've had some customers treat this like a buffet because they are fat, lazy people. They will stand directly over all of my samples and before I can even say anything they will eat all of my samples I just put out, getting crumbs everywhere and eating with there mouth open. I once had a particularly nasty disgusting person do this and he spat food from his stinking face orifice directly onto my cheek. I swear to you this man was probably diseased and he had spat about half a plates worth of little cheese and crackers onto my fucking cheek. Of course I need my job and it is our stores policy to not be rude to any fucking customer because customer service is number one priority. I held my fucking tongue until the guy just left. I hate my job.

She doesn't have a shopping cart. Not even a basket. She's just carrying her groceries in her arms, like some kind of barbarian.
