Ann Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Do you usually do your grocery shopping on the same day of the week every week? When you shop, do you use a list or do you just grab and go? Do you try and do a full week's shopping at one time or do you make a trip whenever you need something?

Kasey Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 All of the above, Ann, EXCEPT shopping on the same day of the week. That is unless you count just about EVERY day!!!!! List ~ sometimes. Sometimes it's grab and go. Think it's all taken care of for a week, but NEVER is. So one of us is usually stopping at the local little market most days!!!! We need to get our act together here !

Patti B Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I never go on the same day - I try to put it off as long as possible. I usually make a list - and I usually forget it at home!! Lately, my husband has been getting the big, heavy stuff for me when he comes home from on the road on Saturday so I don't have to lug it up the steps. And I have also gotten smart and bag all my non-perishables in separate bags so I can leave them in the car until Nick gets home from school. Patti B.

Ry Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I hate grocery shopping and avoid it at all costs. I have an ongoing list that the kids write on as they notice we need something and I take that to the store or I con my daughter into going for me with the debit card. I wait until the last minute-- the dog only has one day left before I have to go buy dog food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Our emergency signal goes off when we are low on dogfood too, Rochelle. That's right up there with the toilet paper !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Believe it or not I go to the grocery store the same day, with a list. I guess I should mention that it's the same day every YEAR, with a list. I go the day before Christmas eve, with a list that includes, shrimp, Crab legs, and clams for my christmas eve seafood extravaganza. Now you guys know why I look so drunk in the pic Col has of us from christmas eve...that cooking is hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patti B Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Yum - Christmas Eve at JBs house this year!! What time should we be there!!! Patti B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLB Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I usually have a list and try to go once a week, but inevitably I end up back at the grocery store for odds & ends that I always forget. JB's Christmas Eve trip to the grocery store always leads to a great meal that night!! YUMMY!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I am very good for shopping. I have a list that I always forget on the fridge magnet. When I am out,I may stop by the store without the list and buy a big order so it will be delivered and forget the essential. Buy once a year all the paper; toilet, hand towels,napkings and facial tissues, have a huge spare room for all that. Same for cleaning products and soaps. Forget what is in the pantry or fridge and end up giving food away. It is over four years that I cook for one person and sill buy for two........ But never forget sweets...

dchurchi Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I am with Ry, I hate grocery shopping and will do just about anything to avoid it. But if I have to go, I do bring a list so I do not have to go back for something I forgot Also, as I am always there picking up persriptions for Alan, try and get all done in one trip.

jaminkw Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 My husband usually does the shopping. When I do go with him, my first question is usually "do we have to go up and down every isle?" Judy in Key West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
