Friday 5 - Grocery shopping

[alexcat]

I found this site via kara_mckay .  The site is thefridayfive .

1. Do you make up a dinner plan for the coming week? No. we sort of have the same things from week to week – our favorites, usually.  It’s day to day. Id we know we're doing something special, we add the ingredients to the list.

2. Do you make up a shopping list and stick to it when shopping? We do make a list and we stick to it, for the most part.  We normally buy groceries at the Walmart Supercenter every 2 weeks.  I take the non-food list and hubby does the food. He calls me from the grocery section if he has questions.  We do add things now and then and no one gets mad with offlist additions..

3. What is one thing that you always buy, but never put down on a list? I don’t think there is a thing we do that with.

4. Is there anything that you always think you are out of and come home with it to discover you already have a year’s supply on hand? Cans of beans and soup. I tend to buy up things like lotions and body washes when I have coupons too.

5. Do you get your groceries delivered? I live in the rural south – no such thing though they do have an order ahead and pickup option at the local store now. I've not tried it yet.

Oh, interesting. I might have to do this one, too.

I get the grocery delivery bit - I live out in the countryside too and I don't think our supermarket would ever get the idea to deliver. Although it would probably be a great thing for all the older people in the area who don't have family/neighbours/friends who can help them with the shopping.

I saw that option at Walmart, too, but I tend to read a lot of labels before I buy something, even something that I buy a lot - it's amazing how often those things change. I have to moderate my hubby's salt intake and my sugar intake, so it pays to be diligent. It would be nice to have someone come and put everything away after the shopping, though. Or haul it in from the car for me.

Thanks for playing along with The Friday Five!
