The Friday Five for February 15, 2019

[spikesgirl58]

It's a seemingly never ending task - grocery shopping.

1. Do you make up a dinner plan for the coming week?

2. Do you make up a shopping list and stick to it when shopping?

3. What is one thing that you always buy, but never put down on a list?

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?

5. Do you get your groceries delivered?

1. Do you make up a dinner plan for the coming week? Sis does the cooking, she has a loose idea each week of what she wants to make or at least what main ingredients she wants, what she does with them is subject to change without notice...

2. Do you make up a grocery shopping list and stick to it when shopping? If I'm doing it, yep, absolutely and strictly. If we're both doing it, looser and depending on specials or what sometimes looks interesting or we see and remember we've forgotten.

3. What is one thing that you always buy, but never write down on a list? Cheese. Tomatoes. And coffee doesn't go on the list, because we grab a big time whenever it's on special.

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? Bathroom stuff, we have a LOT of bodywash and toothpaste in the cupboard...

5. Do you get your groceries delivered? Nope, wouldn't unless we couldn't for some reason go ourselves (we do the main shop early Saturday morning). How can you pick over the fruit and veggies that way???

[spikesgirl58]

Yeah, that's me. I notoriously picky with my fruits and veggies. And you have to read labels, even on stuff that you buy all the time because they are always changing things.

Thanks for playing along with The Friday Five!

The employees they get to do the click and collect for people are usually teenagers or very young, and I've seen them in store, they don't really look over the food, just bag what comes to hand. Not what we want at all.

[spikesgirl58]

I can certainly understand that. I figure that if I'm going to cook it, I want to pick whatever it is.
