do you find it's hard to do grocery shopping？

I don't really know because I haven't tried having our grocery. My mom is the one who will buy everything here in our house and I'm responsible for the bills.

But anyway, I love to do grocery shopping. I think it would be fun. Maybe if I'm the one who will do our grocery, maybe I will pick up everything and I will be out of budget... ...maybe it's hard if you don't have any list to budget..

If you know what to buy, it certainly makes grocery shopping a lot easier and faster. Often during the weekends, I'll plan out the menu for the week . . . and then on the side I'll write down the ingredients I need that I don't have. This way I don't over or under buy too . . . it just makes grocery shopping more efficient.

Admittedly, these days I don't take a list with me because I don't have the time to plan our meals out like I used to. So often I have to think about what I'm going to make at the store and buy accordingly (hopefully getting all the ingredients so I don't have to make another trip). In that sense, it does get harder to grocery shop . . . and I'm probably wasting more money and food this way.

I think you would be doing your sister a favor by giving her some kind of list . . . or maybe you could both work on a list together. That way she can get exactly what you need for whatever you intend to cook - which would probably make it easier for you too so you don't have to think of what to make on the spot.

Hi there and smile.

It depends on your time. I dont want to rush things when i do grocery shopping. Before i go to mall i always check my house for the things that i really need. I will make a list of things to buy and then go to supermarket. When i am at the supermarket, i always make it a point that i go around and compare prices of commodities and also have time for me to watch new products samples. I do really love grocery shopping when i have time to plan. I dont want to rush things because i end up buying things thats not really needed.

Happy mylotting.

I like going to groceries it's my way of releasing stress. I never have difficulties when I'm in the grocery only when it's time to pay because the line is usually long. Planning your meals and making a list to buy always helps so that you already know what to buy. It saves time and energy.

For grocery shopping i dont face any problem. Because, mostly she goes. Once i go, i get the list from her and do shopping. Easy for me.

As you have said above, there are some detailed tasks between you and your sister. It is really interesting.

But in my eyes, people should treat shopping as an interesting thing to do if they don’t want to get tired of do grocery shopping. If you just regard it as a task, you tend to be tired of doing that. You see, before doing shopping, I often make a goods list then I can buy them relaxedly.

Happy myLotting!

I make a list of what I plan on cooking for the week and also look in the papers to see what is on sale. I shop at Walmart because it is cheaper. I like grocery shopping and I always bring my husband along. He takes out the calculator to make sure that we are not over spending. I set a budget and stick to it. The last two weeks I have been lucky because I have been way under budget. I am actually proud of myself.
I think the menu is a great idea. It will help you save money and your sister will not be buying items that are will not be using. Try going to frugel.com and cooks.com to find recipes. I do this all the time and believe me since I discovered these sites I have been saving an aweful lot of money.

For me, grocery shopping is one of the easiest tasks i perform throughout the week. It only becomes difficult for me when I have to bring my teenage children along.

yes its very difficult as we eat same kind of food dialy we intend to eat some thing different this ultimately leads to think what to do what to buy i always find hard to buy vegetables most of the time i will eat for name sake

Hi Lisa

Basically, if it's a vegetarian grocery list, it should include cereals, grains, pulses, fresh vegetables, oils and sauces, and dairy products like cheese. Consider soy which has 40% more protein than meat. And don't forget the green tea. There is some controversy over soy, but in Japan people swear by it and soy is a big part of their life. They eat it in different forms.

My Japanese friends say that many people escaped the horrors of the atomic bomb because they were hiding in a soy factory. And cattle feeding on soy escaped unharmed -- which means it even protects one against radiation!

And oh yes, there's plenty of evidence regarding the dangers of onion and garlic which destroy red blood cells and can cause severe anemia in vegetarians. People who eat meat are ok with onion and garlic because they are ingesting blood anyway, but veggies, beware! According to the Taoists these two vegetables harm the internal organs.

I hope you are vegetarian! we owe it to the world. New research shows that it's the most eco-friendly thing we can do today. And we really need to act fast.
