Do you bag groceries where you shop?
Comments (49)Most of the grocers here bag your groceries and offer to take it to your car except for a afew of the high volume discounts which I rarely shop at as their meat and produce quality is poor. Competition is high among grocers here so I support the better ones, in the long run, I don't save much by shopping the discount stores except at Costco who still ring up your goods and put themm back in your cart. We stopped at a costco once that had self check out but we went on strike and opted for the clerk checkout. I hate self check out, if they expect to sell me something, the least they can do is collect my money and put it in a bag for me. Otherwise I check out Amazon for the items. I would rather support vendors that are trying their best to show you they appreciate your business....See MoreHow Often Do You Shop For Groceries?
Comments (19)I have a chalkboard in my kitchen, and a running list is kept there. Even if I forget my paper list, I can usually close my eyes and see the board list. I works really well. Since DH loves to go to the grocery store, I certainly let him. He would stop every day if he could. He is always afraid of missing a good unadvertised sale. I, on the other hand, could live out the rest of my life without shopping at all. I don't like to make decisions, and shopping is full of them. Our freezer stays pretty well stocked, so very rarely do I need to make pot shot runs to the store. Maybe for beer for DH, but that is about it. Trin...See MoreDo You Shop With a Grocery List?
Comments (41)I can't ever remember what I need so I make a list and add to it by writing a text to myself and it goes to my phone. I can then look at it when I'm in the store and see what I need. I like it because I can look back at lists from several previous shopping trips to make sure I've gotten everything on the list. Since i shop so many different places, food co-op, fish market, wine store, grocery, organic foods grocery, TJ's, etc., this makes it easier for me to have it all in one place, so if the co-op is out of oatmeal, I can get it at the organic grocery and will remember to do so since it's on my list....See MoreYour grocery shopping routine
Comments (42)Depends on the sales and where I'm at in the larder. I live between 2 Meijers farther away and have a small local grocery store closer to home. I am more often hitting the local store, maybe every week to every other week... the Meijers maybe as quick as 2-3 weeks, sometimes more like 4-6 weeks. My larder and kitchen pantry is hitting the capacity I want to be at for being stocked through the winter, so that shopping will drop off to maybe going out even to the small local store more of a 4-6 week thing by the end of October. I'm even stocked up on small propane for the camp burners- I usually forget till I almost run out, lol. The local pharmacy happened to have a bunch on clearance for super cheap a couple weeks back :) It can depend on fresh produce and fresh dairy need too. I just signed up for Misfits and am curious about trying Imperfect Foods... so will see how that goes. And we got a nice new dollar store up on the corner. Around here up on the corner means more like somewhere within a half mile from home, lol. I'm a prepper- sometimes we can get snowed in for days, or lose power. Often I'm just too busy doing stuff to spend the hours to go do shopping rounds. So I'm always in the habit of keeping ahead all year round. Been shopping like this for years, this isn't a new hoarder or C-19 practice for me. This year I'm doing extra because I'm still recouping from some illness and injuries and just want to limit my time spent out as much as possible this winter if I can. And I don't want to depend on Thanksgiving and Christmas sales this year- I'll still probably pick up my pair of turkeys and a Christmas ham if the supply and sales are good. But with some of the supply issues going on I'm trying to skip planning for those as much as I can. If I can do it now, that means I can leave it on the shelf for others because I know darn well they well need it then....See MoreUser
