I have to put the groceries away

My thing is not so much bringing in the groceries, but putting them away. When I do a big grocery shop, I usually use my reuseable bags and those things can carry a lot, so it only takes one or two trips to the car. Putting it up is what stinks for me because I don't know WHERE to stuff the cold stuff in the fridge. It's not cold enough to do that here, which I am glad of.

I love grocery shopping even though my food stamps do not stretech as much as they used to. I have to buy fresh food instead of canned goods because my husband is diabetic. Fruits and vegatables are so expensive here in Nevada. Since I live with my parents it is hard to try to feed a family of five on 200.00 a month. I cook three days a week and my mom cooks three days a week and once a week we fend for ourselves. Randy puts the groceries away and my brother helps. I am sorry that you are feeling tired, but at least you can come on here and earn money.

I always bring mine in right away but I do hate putting them away. At least I don't have to deal with so many any more. When the kids were little and we had a houseful, grocery day was a huge chore. And Mountain Dew? At night? You'll never get to sleep!

hi shaggin I do not know how many times I have been like that whenwer were stillin our own apartment. I could not settle down to sleep so got up and mylotted until I was sleepy then went to bed and newly retired I slept late.now up at 6 am and hate it. bu t I have to go do wn as I get half of my medicatins with breakfast. I am not a morning person. sad to say.yep putting groceries away was also a headache for me but as I had no car and carrying heavey sacks of food even six blocks on a bus w as to much for me' at my age and with a leg in a brace.so I got a good deal with alberstsons who deleivered grocedries t o my apt. for only ten dollars and that beat the taxi charves too.I would buy enough food for me for 2 weeks as my son worked and ate out also he snacked from what I had so he was okay too.but the putting away was hard for me as I have a shoulder joint replacement in mny left shoulder'so I c annot lift my left arm up to help put stuff on higher'shelves.any way I was a happy camper til this awful economy wrecked our lives, son got laid off we used up all our sav ings just o pay the high rent finally were evicted so now for past three years have been here in this reirement center paid for by my social security and ss i checks. so I am not homeless yet an homeless as noway is this a ho me its one room shared with a roommate.but its a decent place to live.

I am the same way when it comes to putting them away as well that is why I have my son do it.You are so right you might as well be on here since you can't sleep when I can't sleep I read til I feel tired it always helps me.

I put my groceries in those big reusable bags as you can put a lot of things in them so that I don't have to make too many trips from the car to carry them inside the house. I love to do grocery shopping and try to use as many coupons or take use of the deals dueing that weak to save as much as I can...

i usually get the kids to do it but if they are not availabe, i put away whatever is cold or frozen and then go and rest and put the other stuff away later.

I do so hate to bring groceries in and putting them away as well. I think it is one of the worst chores. I especially do not like putting the meat away. I am lucky that Keith helps me out so much with the meat. We tag team it normally when he is at home. I always buy the bulk packages and have to split them up into smaller packages. If I get too tired I always leave the non-perishable stuff for later.

For me, I would have to say that I really don't mind putting the groceries up if I'm able to make it through a trip to the store. It is the grocery shopping that I really can't stand if I have to take the kids with me. You see, I am the kind of person that likes to shop with a list and I usually do a really good job with my shopping when I don't have added distractions. However, adding the distraction of having my children with me makes it nearly impossible for me to be an effective grocery shopper.

I think I have the same problem. Our garage is below our living room and kitchen area. So when I have to bring in groceries, I still have to climb a flight of stairs. And it isn't easy to squeeze in the tight space of the garage to get to the door. And then you'd have to strategically place all of them in the fridge and the cupboards!

The part i hated about shopping was shopping itself. Then when I got home, I had to go up two flights of stairs to bring the bags. Sometimes I had t make multiple trips up and down. And when I went to Costco I had to go up and down the stairs like five or six times. That is hard with heavy objects. Then I would get yelled at by the evil ex that I was being lazy when I was just trying to catch my breath. Can you imagine that.

Hi shaggin, I think few people mind that chore. On top of putting the shopping away I also do this thing called 'Shop and Scan'. I use a handheld scanner to scan the barcodes of my shopping and this information is relayed to a company who gather this data and use it in research. For my troubles (it adds a few minutes onto the chore of putting the shopping away) I get awarded a number of points each month which I can convert to retail vouchers once I've accumulated at least 1,000 (€10 worth) of points. For me, it's worth it and another avenue for getting that little bit extra. Been doing it almost 3 years now. I think there's possibly something similar in the US, I know there is in the UK.
