Let's talk grocery shopping

[Alicia Leonard]

Just went. I usually go once a week, maybe twice. I try to plan for what I think I will need. Winn Dixe in DeFuniak is starting to carry more organic fruits and veggies. I really don't like to grocery shop. You have to have a degree in chemistry to pick some of the foods anymore. I read a lot of labels, so, I take extra time if I can. No wonder America is sick, look at all that processed stuff. If I can't read or pronounce it, I am starting to leave it on the shelf. But, how can you not spend a ton of money buying as fresh and as clean as possible? Yuck. Glad it's done.

I know. As I have found in my pursuit of less processed stuff, unless it's fruit or veggies, it's processed. I'm trying to incorporate more organic stuff too, but it may require a second job. :shock:

I try to go once a week but almost always end up stopping in once or twice week for a forgotten item.

And, yes, DD- I still mourn for shopping at Market Street in Colleyville!

I'll go there this week just for you.

Right now I am so busy that I don't have time to go to the store. This AM I had Special K with no milk because we have no milk. Also it's a PITA to decide what hubby and daughter might like to eat, go to the store to buy it, cook it, and then help with the dishes and kitchen cleanup. I just don't have time to cook with a full-time job and planning a wedding. So last week we ate all of our meals except for breakfast at fast food and take-out restaurants. Not very healthy.

Frustrating because there are two other adults in the house who could help.:roll:

Totally understand. There's just two of us and if I leave the shopping/cooking up to Mr. DD, here's what it ALWAYS is:

steak
baked potato
bagged salad...(which he NEVER remembers I hate)

Hence, I do most of the shopping and cooking. He does help load the dishwasher though.

The Watercolor Publix is my second home. I'm in there at least 4 or 5 times a week. Staff is exceptionally friendly, they have everything I ever need. It's a great place.

Yep. Love the place when I'm there.

Once every two weeks for my serious shopping and some small stuff throughout the week. I love Fresh Market Lynnie! Once I did all of my shopping there, but it cost so much I had to stop. Now its only for special items like Drunken Goat cheese and that amazing sparkling french lemonade...

Save the drive, you can get it at Cocoon's Deli or Chan's in WaterColor.

I really try to go once a week, but I always end up going 2 or 3 times. Grocery shopping is my least favorite thing to do in the whole wide world. That, and planning meals.

How many of you get this?

Son: "Mom, what are you cooking for supper?
Me: "What do you want".
Son: "I don't know, or I don't care"
Me: "Give me a hint"
Son: "I don't know".
Me: "Ask your dad what he wants"
Son: "He said he didn't know"
Me: Frustrated as hell........"Okay, I will think of something"

Get home. With "________" to cook.

Son: "I didn't want __________, again".

Me: "Well, what did you want"
Son: "I don't know".

Me: "Screaming under my breath, S.O.A.B.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tell them all the time, they better hope nothing ever happens to me, because they will freaking starve to death!!!!
