Last week I used this blog to ask my questions about the puzzling topic of laundry. Today, my questions all relate to my shopping list and the grocery store. Groceries are never very far from my mind right now - my husband and I have two athletic hungry teens, a dog and a cat to feed!

Have you ever wondered about these questions like I do:
1. Why do I never realize the pet food is almost gone until we are down to the last scoop?
2. Why is what I need always on the highest shelf in the grocery store?
3. Why do I always pick the slowest check-out lane?
4. Why do I always forget my reusable bags in the car?
5. Why do my kids say we have nothing to eat when I just spent money and time grocery shopping?

You may not think these questions are so mysterious - but I wonder about them all the time.
I will look forward to hearing what you think!
I leave the bags in the car too...not sure why either. I can answer the last question when my kids ask - and that is because i buy ingredients like an Italian or French cook - :) the like shopping with dad. :)
ReplyDeleteMom's tend to buy what we need; Dad's seem more likely to buy what is wanted :)
DeleteGood questions all of them....no answers here. I try to put off grocery shopping for as long as I can....then, when my shelves and fridge are stocked up I say, "let's go out for supper."
ReplyDeleteI like the "go out for supper" option!
DeleteIm at loss with the bag thing. I always tell myself Imma put one in my purse but never do
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone Margaret! I will think of you every time I am at the checkout, wishing I had remembered my reusable bag!
DeleteI used to leave my reusable bags at home all the time. Then I started keeping them in my car - but I still forget to bring them inside! Glad I'm not the only one. I can only dream about what I'd do with all the money I've spent on teenager food :)
ReplyDeleteTeenage groceries are definitely a major line item of the budget! Especially if you entertain their friends a lot, which we know you do from one of your recent posts, Lana!
DeleteAnd where did the supermarket hide the (eggs. bread, sauce) this week... And how can I carry something which just cost me an arm and a leg in one bag...
ReplyDeleteExactly!! I just shopped in a store I had never been in, and it took forever, because I just couldn't figure out the layout!
Delete6. Why is it when we get finished shopping and halfway home do we always realize what we have forgotten? Sorry no answers just more questions!
ReplyDeleteYes Rena - And why is my list so often still on the counter at home, when I get to the store?!
