Grocery, Here I Come

Can you feel my excitement? Today is Sunday morning and it is time to go for grocery shopping. I'm excited because my last grocery was almost a month ago. I have been busy and got sick so I just stayed mostly at home. We still have two hours before going and we are eating breakfast. It is drizzling now but I don't think drizzle can stop me doing my grocery. Do you have a schedule for your grocery? I used to do it every two weeks.

We now shop nearly every day. The shop is a short walk for us so we get our exercise by going there and back. We can't carry too much weight so we just get a few things each day.

After an “incident” I had at the grocery store months ago, I now get my groceries delivered most of the time. This helps my back because I don’t have to haul everything up the stairs myself. Occasionally, though, I’ll stop by and get a few things, usually on a Monday after another appointment I have.

@rakski I was accused of stealing. I had a receipt, but they treated me like a criminal anyway. The store later apologized, but it was so upsetting I never wanted to go back.

@AmbiePam oh no.... why would they do that? I now understand your trauma of going to the groceries. I hope you do not go back there

I do it weekly. However, it depends if I really need to buy something, especially if I am going to cook.

We go every week, usually on Thursday. The fresh vegetables and fruits do not last more than one week.

@rakski - As I do not drive, my husband drives me every week and I buy everything we need to cover a full week.

I try for a schedule but sometimes I have to alter that a bit. I do a big once a month trip. I get all that I can then. After that,no go once a week for produce, dairy, etc. It works out better for me this way.

I go to the store whenever I need to. I also find it entertaining, and usually go two or three times a week.

I usually do it every week on Sunday. But this week I did it on Saturday because I scheduled for my mother and I to get flu and covid shots. But my mother didn't get hers. She got hers on Sunday though.

More or less , yes I had a schedule for grocery. Most of times, things at home would be over by that time. It is usually 2 weeks. Rarely , I would get things weekly .Thats in case I have guests or if preparing something special. Else, it takes minimum 2 weeks and beyond. I do check the prices online and offline and buy things based on the offers and prices. For the same brands, sometimes it is cheaper in wholesale market- so it is affordable to go there and buy the same. In case of emergency , would do home deliveries and thats is super easy and convenient. Enjoy your grocery shopping!

I would love to shop wholesale but I don't have a lot of space to store it.
