Grocery shopping

We usually go a few times a week. My daughter eats a lot of fresh fruit and I don't like to buy too much produce at once because it spoils quickly. There's a grocery store less than a mile from our house that we can go to if we need something fast, and plenty of places to stop on the way home from work. It's really hard to make long trips to the store with a 2.5 year old, so a few quick trips works out better for us.

Once a week. We always run out of something important by the end of the week like paper towels. If we had more freezer space Costco would be more cost efficient.

I also hate grocery shopping so I try to go only 2 times a month. I do buy a lot at once. If I run out of things like bread or produce then I'll go shopping for just a few items. I buy a lot of frozen food so it does last a while. I don't cook so most of my meals have to be microwavable.

I'm surprised to see that so many people go so often. When I was working I used to go once a week - and no more - unless I had to pick up fixins for a covered dish at one of our "pig out days" at work, or some other gathering. I hate shopping of any kind, even to buy clothes or whatever for myself. And Christmas shopping??? - I'd rather take a beating.

Thank goodness for on line shopping!

I love shopping. It gives me a real buzz.
