But I can't think of very many people who enjoy it! <BR/><BR/>I've started a business where I send people a box with groceries, recipes, and a suggested meal plan, so all they have to do is cook. No more chasing down the cheapest prices or fighting through crowds. I aim more for the maybe-pricier organic food, but it is fairly cheap here in California so it is still only $40 a week or less per person, which I hear a lot of people spending on regular groceries no matter where they are. I figure it's better for everyone to just have the people who don't mind the grocery shopping do it.

How...Gayle, I'm sorry, but I love to grocery shop. However, I do not love to grocery shop with all the kids! I usually just take one with me and leave the other two at home w/ hubby. <BR/><BR/>The whole leaving-the-cart-blocking-the-aisle-thing does annoy me a whole lot too. I usually huff loudly, swing my cart around and go in the opposite direction. Or, if I'm feeling like a good Christian, I wait patiently and smile. (I have also been known to nudge their cart with mine after repeatedly uttering 'excuse me')<BR/><BR/>So -- I do get what you are saying! <BR/><BR/>I use lots of coupons, get things super cheap, and go to many, many stores. <BR/><BR/>I always let people in front of me who only have a few things in their carts. <BR/><BR/>I also go very early when it's not crowded, if that is at all possible!<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/><BR/>SherryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648965617421128919.post-45695547319672494242007-08-21T01:40:00.000-05:002007-08-21T01:40:00.000-05:00I hate Grocery Shopping too!!

LOL and it doesn't matter if I have the kids or not, they are old enough to leave at home but I still HATE going!! Of course, maybe the fact that I don't like to cook doesn't help matters either!!

Your cute pic drinking something steamy got my attention. I (living in Michigan) am so with you on the grocery shopping. Why oh why do people LOSE there peripherial vision in the isles of the grocery store escapes me. They drive vehicles that require that skill but in the grocery store people seem to be in a vegitative state. Thanks for blogging about this...there really should be a public announcement over the speaker in every grocery store reminding customers of proper grocery store manners...now there's an idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648965617421128919.post-61409078864051033832007-08-20T18:17:00.000-05:002007-08-20T18:17:00.000-05:00Gayle,I completely agree.

I do not enjoy going through the store, filling up the carriage, emptying it, paying for it, filling it back up again, bringing it to the car, unloading it into the car and then the house, and last but not least putting it all away. I am tired just writing it all.<BR/>RuthAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648965617421128919.post-45307029438922015552007-08-20T17:25:00.000-05:002007-08-20T17:25:00.000-05:00Oh, I hate it too!Hence the reason why I started m...Oh, I hate it too!<BR/>Hence the reason why I started making a list for 3 weeks worth of meals, and we go only about every 3 weeks. We've been going to a store that doubles $1 coupons, and I get really excited when I get things for free or next-to-free.<BR/><BR/>Between big trips, Brian will just pick up whatever we need on his way home from work. I love that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648965617421128919.post-14859624322289094332007-08-20T17:00:00.000-05:002007-08-20T17:00:00.000-05:00Have ya tried shopping without kids?

I don't really enjoy the menu planning or the making a list part...which is odd because traditionally I'm a planner. BUT we often shop in a smaller store in a farm community - less people and they are generally nicer....sometimes.javamammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02652006173549315099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648965617421128919.post-63782984827846429452007-08-20T16:25:00.000-05:002007-08-20T16:25:00.000-05:00I just had the most peaceful shopping experience I...I just had the most peaceful shopping experience I've had in exactly one year.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>The kids are at grandma's house for their yearly stay. :-D :-DMelaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17835000810958783854noreply@blogger.com
