Grocery Shopping
I just got home from grocery shopping. I do it once every weekend. I hate it. How about you? :umya:

I go to the grocery store a few times per week and only pick up what I feel like eating at that particular moment. I find it makes the experience less grueling yet I still don't enjoy it much :?

i don't mind when i go with my dad, cause he doesn't care what we get.
if i go with my mom and she says we'll only be there for 20 minutes, i know she means 2 hours. I detest going with her, but i have to be the good son and carry all the crapola for her.

Cudos to you Weiser. I wish one of my kids would go with me. It might make the experience more enjoyable. At least I would have someone to talk to to pass the time more quickly. I am sure they don't go for similar reasons. They do help me unload when I get home which helps.

I hate shopping. Period. I also try to make it as short as possible. I only enjoy it if I'm buying groceries in order to cook when I'm having friends come over to my place.
I don't like to do it on the weekend, but I end up visiting it anyway.

i hate grocery shopping. I'd rather be shopping for clothes or somehting for the house besides food. I usually send hubby out with a list to go do it. if i have no choice but to go do it myself, i'll take kassandra with me.

I don't mind grocery shopping at all. I live with my sister so we usually go together. We tend to buy way to much food but it seems our house is the house everyone seems to drop by. Now that I think of it I wonder where everyone is when its time to carry all of the bags inside lol

I hate grocery shopping.
I hate asking for plastic grocery bags. They are expensive, and of poor quality, so if it is possible, I tend to shop in small quantities.
It is also quite time consuming. I waste more time at the check out than doing the actual shopping.

I'm okay with it once I'm in the store. It's the thought of having to drive there or stop on the way home when it's crowded that annoys me. I go for 'big groceries' once a week, but always have to go back a couple of times a week for something I forgot or milk, bread, etc.

I go twice a month but I always end up going twice a week for small stuff I forgot or ran out of. I enjoy grocery shopping and get ideas for new food to make.
