Grocery shopping, Yay or Nay?

Some people love grocery shopping and some people hate it. I would say for me it is about a 9 out of 10. I like shopping in general and grocery shopping in particular. The only time I don't like it, is if I am tired or in a hurry. As a foodie, I really enjoy seeing what is available in terms of food products and getting just the right thing. What are your feelings about grocery shopping? Is it a fun experience or just a necessity?

I love to go grocery shopping. I like to look at the available fresh food and I decide what to prepare according what I see that I like.

I love grocery shopping it is the carrying of the heavy bags home though that is a nuisance no car you know.

Yes, it is not fun to tote them in in the rain either.

It can be fun. I do like to see what's new and what's changed. Most of the time I am in a hurry though, and that's why I almost always have an idea of what I need to get, if I don't already have a list made up. This time of year I like to see all the new and creative flavored items.

I am not usually in a hurry so I take my time to shop. You are right, with lots of seasonal items now.

@snowy22315 There are some cookies at walmart, they are beside the freezer section. They are healthier cookies. I got a pack one day and they were delicious, but they are also seasonal. I am probably going to the store tomorrow. We don't meal plan ahead of time, and since I am the only one that cooks, that means that there are often several trips to the store a week. Atleast with me cooking, I get to be the one to decide WHAT it is I am cooking.

There aren't a lot of things to do here..I guess it is a form of entertainment for me.

It's 10 out of 10 for me. I like grocery shopping. It is one of my stress-relievers.

I used to like it. However, that was a very long time ago. Now, I get in and out as fast as possible. Plus, nothing sounds good anymore! I wish we had more variety too.

Shopping, especially grocery shopping doesn't float everyone's boat!

A necessity. But then, I think most of shopping is that way: necessity more than “pleasure.” I’d rather take a drive in the country for pleasure than fight the horribly-dressed denizens in Wal-Mart.

It's fun especially if you get to go to a store you haven't been to before.

I don't mind grocery shopping but I tend to put more things in the cart than I have on my list. There are times when it's too much trouble or we don't have the time so we have it delivered.

It would be nice to have that option available,,especially if the weather is inclement..but no such luck! The only place would deliver would be something like Schwans..and their food is high.
