I rather enjoy it
Have my favorite stores, target brands
...and carts
This little guy has revolutionized shopping for me;
It’s rather zippy
I call it the Mini Cooper of the aisles
With it, I can zip thru the lanes, passing ol’ ladies and mothers with children like they were standing still (because they were).
Sadly, they just aren’t plentiful enough.
So, before I even enter the store, I’ll scan the parking lot horizon, and have been known to trek to the opposite side of the store or lot to snag one.
Another sad note, not all stores have them.
One of those stores is Cash&Carry, a left coast poor man’s Costco. They, like Costco, have what I call the dray, that big a$$ cart with the directional wheels on the wrong end.
No matter, all I get there is their 20 roll thousand sheets per roll TP (best buy in the west, btw).
See, thing is, my lady’s knees give out half way thru our weekly big city, hard pavement tour, of which is 50 mi from the cabin.
So she saves herself for yarn and fabric stores, while I, under her protest, ‘got this’.
Everything I do in repetition has a system.
Grocery shopping is no exception.
I know which stores have the best buys and where the stuff is.
I don’t ‘shop’ per se
I get, go
I begin to pester her on what we are low on two days before the trip.
I have lists of lists
One for tools, building materials
One for groceries, dry goods
One for wants (not needs)
We never forget anything
Not on my watch
