Grocery Shopping

[terry123]

I have groceries delivered and know what I want. I do splurge and get a pint of chocolate ice cream each time. I just had a peanut butter and honey sandwich with some potato chips and a glass of milk. Will not eat again until around 10 this morning. I eat when hungry and not on a regular schedule.

For me it's when I am not hungry, I come home with much less junk.

We make a list, and stick to it!

A list helps so much.

Better not to go to the store hungry. I come home with more than need be.

I'm so old...

I don't even buy green bananas,

(Oops! Wrong thread!) lol!

 

[MarciKS]

Well we are talking about groceries so it kinda fits. LOL

In the past I took a list and that helped.

I always take a list.

I always take a list.

If I make it to a WF I want a taste of everything, so thankfully I only go about once a month.

I take a list because I forget what I need and go home missing something. Plus it helps me stay focused so I don't buy what I don't need.

One thing I miss is the free samples at Costco....you were never hungry there. Problem solved. Hopefully they will bring them back soon.

I‘m methodical, so I shop for groceries on the same day and in the same time frame every week. I always go after eating, so hunger doesn’t influence my buying, but simply acquiring what I need dominates my agenda. I usually leave the store dazed with a case of sticker shock as a typical item might cost 50 cents more than it did pre-pandemic, assuming that it’s even available… ‍

I order online and pick it up. This gives me a day or two to edit the order. I try not to order things I don't need but I do purchase a treat every time.

The Spousal Equivalent does all the grocery shopping, thank goodness.

If I have to stop by the store occasionally to pick something up, I'm lost in there.

I hate grocery shopping.

I know what I need. Go in there, get catfood and other groceries, usually the same thing every week. Hup, hup, I'm out of there.

When I'm close to running out of something, I go and get it and some of whatever else I usually buy too as long as it's not perishable.
