HOLY CARP!!!
|
I'm having a grocery dilemna. When I'm actually cooking stuff (rather than the frozen premade route) I like to use lots of fresh ingrediants. But I hate going to the grocery store to prepare for each meal because 1) I'm tired at the end of the day and hate going and 2) I impulse buy and spend money I don't need to. Just curious what everyone else does. |

Grocery shopping is one of my least favorite things. Wish there were better, smaller grocery stores around. |

I hate grocery shopping. But, I love to cook. I only grocery shop for special occasions but I send Mark to the store almost daily. I know, I'm a princess. |

I stop at Whole Foods every Friday on the way home for a meal or two, fruit and wine. Then I do the real shopping at a much more affordable place near home on Saturday morning. With main dishes, we ususally have them in the order that is determined by freshness: Fish right away, checken next, beef can wait....We tend to have salads and I get Romaine lettuce--that keeps well. There is always a mid-week grocery run to get milk. I buy a dozen eggs every Monday from a co-worker with hens. jf |

I try to go to town once a week and do a grocery store shop; cereal, dairy, a few meat choices to freeze, canned tomato stuff, paper stuff... and then I go to our local places to get fresh veg/fruit and the endless jugs of milk. Every day or two. I'm torn, because I hate the shopping, but I like really fresh veg and fish. So whatta you do?

Whole Foods is dangerous when you're hungry. At the least the one near here is; all the ready made goodies, mountains of cheese, etc. You can sure part with a lot of money in there.

They say not to grocery shop hungry. But grocery shopping is only enjoyable when you are hungry. |

We shop about once a week, but it always seems I need something during the week for some new recipe I'm trying out. Now that we are following a low carb, high protein diet and I'm making a ton of new stuff, I seem to need something additional almost every day. Fortunately hubby will stop on his way home from work for me, so it works out. |

ZOOOOOM!
|
I chose the last one, since maybe one meal out of 5 I actually have to pay for, and one out of 10 I pay full price. |
