Someone go to Fry's for me.

I really hate grocery shopping. So I've gotten to the point where I just don't go. I pick up necessities when the situation becomes desperate; like picking up toilet paper at Target on my lunch break. This new lifestyle does not come without its consequences as you might imagine.

Last night I ate spaghetti noodles with butter and salt, then, dry cereal out of the box.

Dear dear dear, I see that my "hate grocery shopping" DNA has passed to my daughter. The only reason I ever went was because I had 2 small children that needed to eat. Even now, I make Tim go and I say things like "Ok let's do this in 20 minutes." I HATE IT. The whole process is time consuming and laborsome, not to mention germ laden.

I see nothing wrong with your dinner.

lol Thank you. although I did finally break down and go last night. I forgot stuff though because I rush through, I'm very sucky at it. I look like I'm on one of those grocery store gameshows where they have to run through the store and get specific items in a matter of seconds.

And I bought milano cookies. eek.

LOL "germ laden"?? Where do you shop Michelle--Food City?? LOLLLL

I hate it too. Mike LOOOOOOVEEESSS it. He takes for-effing-ever going through each aisle and deliberating on the cheapest, best, etc. choice. My GAWD it's TORTURE. Just buy the damn Honeynut Cheerios and MOVE ON.

lol Zach loves it too! When I voiced my hatred he was like, "Why? You get to pick out whatever you want."

And Chris germ laden is no exaggeration. Shopping cart handles contain more germs than any other object. It was in a study or something. That's why you must always use those anti-bac wipes they have at the entrance. Or YOU'LL DIE.

LOL!! I must say I love the prep work. Thumbing through recipe books is probably one of my favorite things. Then getting to the grocery store...love it! I have my check list, G2 pen in black carefully checking off each item. Now if only such precision could be carried on to other aspects of my life.

Pro Grocer Goer

Malia you only buy groceries for one meal. Therefore you are no pro.

I can just see Mike strolling through the isles as if he were in a museum looking at fine art. Lol to the gameshow shopping. I actually dread it all day, and I'm very pissy when I'm there. The whole thing is just tiresome: Figuring out what you need, looking for it, loading it on the germ laden conveyor belt, paying for it, watching the retard (sorry Griff) bag it, dragging it out to your car, unloading it, loading it into the house, unloading it and putting it away. Saving the bags and throwing out old things in the refrigerator! I HATE IT ALL. I begged Tim to let me use the Frys delivery, his response "you've go to be kidding."

Easy with the hasty comments Erica.

lol, I'm just bitter that someone would enjoy it Malia!

lol to the baggers, or "courtesy clerks" as Griffin would say. Last night there was no clerk in sight, and the cashier stared at me blankly. I bagged the damn food myself.

Erica said...

lol to Fry's delivery. That's what I do at work for the break room, it's so convenient!! Tim is wrong, it is a completely reasonable request.

Caca, your shopping blog has hit some nerves.

I wish I liked shopping. Jodie who sits in front of me says "I find grocery shopping relaxing, I like the music too."

RELAXING??? Is she on painkillers or something? Try shopping with babies or whiny kids. Relaxing, my ass.

And I do believe that about the cart handles. Oh and FYI, here's a Ruthism for the word "grocery cart": she calls the "buggies". what the?

I think Bashas does home delivery, too. I think that is a fabulous idea. Tim is sillo.

"Buggies" ?!!! Are you kidding me. LOL That woman is completely weird.

Buggies? Is she living in the 1800's? Her hairstyle proves it.

That's it I am ordering my groceries! Tim only likes to go shopping so's he can stand in front of the ice cream shelves and leisurely pick out his gold. He even walks toward the frozen section with reverence.
