Four mainstream supermarkets, and two large Indian groceries, all within walking distance. Spoiled for choice since I like to do it! For Asian grocery, I actually have to drive for 20 minutes.
I do what I call the "big shopping" at one of our local grocery stores about once every 2 weeks. In other words buying the majority of the staples, vegetables, frozen stuff, etc. And then I go every 4 or 5 days for last minute stuff like fresh veg, or more milk. We go to Costco together once a month, although sometimes I go by myself once in a while. Hubby goes to the local grocery about twice a week to get his favorite stuff, and the stuff I would never dream of buying on a regular basis. That usually consists of big containers of cut-up fruit, half gallons of juice, cookies, ice cream sandwiches, Cheerios, Raisin Bran, pastries, etc. He has some weird sort of metabolism. He eats about 3000-4000 calories a day, a lot of it is juice and fruit, or bread/toast/cereal. He thinks it's healthy, but it's far too much sugar/carbs. I won't buy all that stuff. He has only about 6% body fat and it's pretty much impossible for him to gain weight, even though he tries. He also drinks the Boost Plus, 350 calories for a 6-8 oz serving trying to keep his weight up. The doctor says he's fine, for him this is normal. His blood sugar, and other blood counts are normal. He's always been this way. After he stopped drinking beer, he had to increase his food intake to keep from losing weight. It's annoying as hell. LOL. I look at a carb and gain a lb.
So I go once or twice a week ,and he goes about twice a week, and Costco once a month.
Instacart does all our grocery shopping. I always give them a big tip because it makes my life easier and is worth it.
I like to send an Instacart shopper to Costco.
Once I had an Instacart shopper who, after depositing the groceries near the door, said "I'd like to do a little thank you dance for you." I laughed, so she did. I still have the video from the Ring.
It's too bad you can't request the same shopper all the time.
This brought that fond memories of Bruce. We would do most errands together, due to his disability I did the driving. When we went to the market, he go somewhere e!se, then, when he returned, I'd notice an item in the cart, not on the list. It jumped into the cart he'd reply. It got to be a joke as I would do it too !
I place the order online and then go and pick it up. They put it in the trunk of the car and it only costs $3.00 extra. I hate grocery shopping.
When covid cases are low I enjoy going to a tiny discount grocery store that gets overstocks from places like Whole Foods and other expensive stores. I love a bargain, love organic foods, and I love getting it all in one cute little store.
We do it together and then go out for a nice lunch, been doing it for years.
Where are the groceries while you're dining?
