Today is grocery shopping day. UGG! It is one of my least favorite things to do. It ranks right up there with getting my teeth drilled!
You buy groceries....they are consumed......buy groceries.....they are consumed......
You get the idea.
I do not mind cooking said food, it is the TIME in the grocery store that drives me crazy.
Lame, I know.
So, what works for me to manage my minutes in "food land"
Since I shop the same stores each week, I know the layout of each one.
*I make my grocery list by aisle's. Yup, you got it. I start in the refrigerator section so....first on my list are the needs in that area. Sour cream, yogurt, milk, OJ......
*Next comes the canned food aisles....so soup,beans ect....
*I cross off each item as I put it in the cart. I also put a C with a circle next to the item name if I have a coupon and also include the quantity I need to purchase of that product.
This method is very convenient and keep the shopper from "backtracking" through the maze of aisle trying to find and item.
It works for me! For more tips visit Kristen at www.wearethatfamily.com
I do the "C" for coupon thing next to items on my list, too, LOL! But then again, I'm somewhat weird in that I actually like grocery shopping...but only if I get lots of stuff on sale and see a big savings at the end of my receipt. Savings of 25% or better give me a big rush.
ReplyDeleteI love grocery shopping! It's my favorite thing to do! I could spend hours in the store looking for new things, reading labels, and sampling. I also like looking for coupons...equally as thrilling :) Whole foods honors coupons from everywhere. SO I'll take a 15% off coupon and will end up saving that amount off my entire order...+ the other coupons...+ sales + any money for returning bags and bottles. I usually save $90 every time I shop! AH! and I usually never make it out of the produce section. Can't wait till I can go next!
ReplyDelete:) I wish you enjoyed it as much as I do!
