The ever amazing cap'n obvious
Default   #75873  
Hi Anurah! It's been a while! How have you been?

I like grocery shopping, but only when I actually get my butt out to the store. Once I'm there, it's one of those semi-relaxing chores where I don't have to talk to anyone, can just the cart, and contemplate life.
Before I leave the house, though, it's all "NOOOOOOO grocery shopping is so hard I have to do hard things like WALK AROUND and CARRY BAGS and, worst of all, SPEND MONEY. D: UGH." Through sheer laziness I have managed to go 3-4 weeks between grocery shopping trips on occasion. If I shopped more often it would take less time and be easier, but I can't manage to process that idea enough to put it in practice. xD

I know what you mean.

Sometimes, I don't want to deal with *shudder* people. >(
I do need to feed myself and the manbeast though...so I endure. And you are right, once you're there it's not bad...it's just getting there that is the hardest part. :/

I went to the store today to do a couple of refunds, and they were out of that butternut sauce that I had wanted. Sad news.

Sometimes I go grocery shopping with the husband, but I don't buy a single thing. A whole store full of goodies and I don't want a single thing. O.O

aw, it's always too bad when they don't have the thing you want.

it's good when you don't want anything they have, though. Then you don't end up spending money! :D

The manbeast. lol.


Shopping isn't bad, really...But I do it in the style of "get in, get the target, get out," most of the time.

So does my bf, and let me tell you. We never have any groceries.

Food is an exception. I walk a route, and collect things along the way. If there's something I need off the route, I detour. But I hit the major points, and buy things that are on sale (plus things I decide I want).

That said, we've rarely got more than a few days of things in the house. For dinner, anyway. Breakfast and lunch things tend to be around a while. And the sweets.

So many sweets.

I have an app that is basically a fancy grocery checklist. Put in an item, sort it into a category, and it stays in an "inventory" of items even if you check it off your list when you buy it (so you can remember to buy it again when you're out.)

I've eventually accumulated almost everything I ever need to buy in this list. I usually un-check items as I use the last of them, but before I leave the house, I do one last runthrough to un-check anything I missed. Since I've already sorted them into categories/aisles, I just walk my grocery route and pick up the things from my checklist in each aisle. Usually I'll allow myself one "treat" like chips or chocolate per grocery run. I don't really buy snacks...ever... Everything else, I stick to the list, otherwise, I'd go crazy getting chips, candy, and other yummy stuff that I don't need and costs a lot of money.

We have a lot of food in our cupboards. It's filled with boxed meals, canned vegetables, spaghetti sauce and pasta. And the freezer is full of ground beef. We could probably go a month without going to the store. O.O

No! Coldlings of course! They steal all the heat from your home and make your toes so cold!
