Grocery Shopping

[cnamon]

How often do you go?  Have you ever had groceries delivered? 

I am using Peapod by Giant to get my groceries this month because I don't have time during the week to go to the grocery store, and I fear going on Saturday because of the lines.

This will be the first time since the end of April that I have had to get groceries.

[ReBurn]

We usually go once every two weeks.  We go to a meat market to get our meat.  The cuts are much better, and the prices are, too, since that's all they do there. 

[ignom]

I go to the grocery store pretty much everyday but that's mostly because I like to flirt with the 15-year-old bagger girls.

[Infobahn]

We have Simon Delivers, and liked it.  The only problem is produce, especially in the winter.  We like shopping, and have some cool Super Targets near our house, so it becomes a family trip when we do go out.

[Jessie]

When I'm doing the adult thing and actually living on my own, I go once a week. 

THat might change now that it's just gonna be me and Timothy.

[Gamplayerx]

When the meal selections get downright ridiculous.

[cnamon]

When the meal selections get downright ridiculous.

Right now my choices are ramen, vodka, champagne, and chicken that needs to be thawed.  Oh!  I also have fish sticks!

I really need to get some food.

[eo000]

when i'm eating right, i go about once every 4 days (fresh fruit, veggies, and meat)  never had groceries delivered.

[Beefy]

I go daily to fap to Iggy hitting on teenage girls.

Clean up in aisle seven!

[meredith]

ramen and vodka? Sounds good to me.

[Jessie]

I've never lived anywhere that had delivery as an option.

Hell, where I live now pizza delivery isn't even an option.

[BigDun]

I go grocery shopping about once a week. I have always enjoyed it. I especially like the self checkout lines.

Can you come down to DC this weekend?  I need a few things.  I am seriously NOT going to the grocery store.  I would rather pay $8 to have them delivered to me.

[ignom]

I love going to the grocery store. I just hate that 95% of what I buy is spontaneous purchases.

[DownSouth]

I always end up with about 3 times the crap I planned on and still forget stuff I need.

[cnamon]

I think that having it delivered will cut down on a lot of my impulse buying.  And it will take me a long time to go through $50 worth of food on my own.

[Infobahn]

We are going from shopping at a Super Target and Byerlys (local), to Kroger and Food Lion.

The horror.

[ignom]

Kroger is the only grocery store that knows how to properly slice deli meat the way I like it: shaved.

[Infobahn]

I like a lot of things...

Oh never mind.

[Beefy]

I love my Kroger's Signature.  Nishi can attest to it's greatness.

[ignom]

Kroger's Signature?

[eo000]

10 for 10 sale this week.

[Beefy]

10 for 10 sale this week.

Randall's is doing that as well.

[ignom]

I knew about that sale, I got two six packs of Aquafina for $1 each.

How does that mean Signature, though?

WTF are you two babbling about?

I have never been to a Kroger.

[DownSouth]

Kroger is my favorite grocery store.

[sapphirehart]

I grocery shop EVERY EFFING weekend and I still have to go back at least once during the week to pick up things we run out of.

[eo000]

btw- terry called. you're out of milk.

Haha, real funny.

/he called yesterday and said we were out of milk.

[eo000]

my wife went gricery shopping the other day. I only asked for two things, batteries for the smoke detecters, and milk.

she forgot both of them.  I DID SAY THANK YOU FOR GOING SHOPPING, though.

[Gamplayerx]

A loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter.

[nishi]

Kroger is my favorite grocery store.

i want to firebomb my kroger. i have carried rotten produce up to the manager's office to ask him if this is what he feeds his family. i also once fomented rebellion in the checkout line on a friday afternoon when there was only one person on a register and 15 people waiting to check out. the scan-yourself lines were down for some computer changeover thing.

i hate my kroger. i end up there because it's 3 blocks away, but i hate it.

i want beefy's kroger. his kroger is like kroger grocery heaven.

[nishi]

eo - i have your milk and your batteries. i forgot to ask - is 2% ok?

[BigDun]

2% is for wimps. Real men only drink heavy cream.

[nishi]

i've got that too. i just didn't buy it for eo.

make of that what you will.

i think i've been insulted.

you didn't *ask* for it. i thought the whole thing was that you had *asked* your wife to pick up stuff for you and then she didn't. i picked up what you *asked* for - milk.

besides, it could have been a comment about buying that for dc, the man in the closet.

* nishi notices eo has been red lettering and flailing around a lot recently. must be catching. wanders off to make sure the batteries are the right kind.

[Gamplayerx]

9V?

[nishi]

9V?

well sure. but eo seems to have gone all picky and unusual on me. maybe he has some system wide smoke detector that runs on a small car battery or something.

[Gamplayerx]

Haha.  I was trying to make a reference to DownSouth and the 9volt battery thing, but smoke detectors do take 9Vs, don't they?

[nishi]

Haha.  I was trying to make a reference to DownSouth and the 9volt battery thing, but smoke detectors do take 9Vs, don't they?

ooo!! i forgot about DS's 9Volt! i'm glad you reminded me!

[eo000]

i was red and flailing about the "real man" comment.

[Alice]

i was red and flailing about the "real man" comment.

I thought you were red and flailing because you got stung by another bee.

He could use his car battery for that.  It's not like it's gonna start anyways.

sometimes.

[Gamplayerx]

I just got back from the grocery store, $424 poorer, but with tons of yummies!  Except, no sandwich rolls.  For some reason, those seemed to be a popular item just about now.

I think I need to resubscribe to the newspaper and start clipping coupons again.

[Infobahn]

WTF?  I have never spent that much money on food, even for a party.

How much of that is booze?

[ignom]

I don't even have that much money in the bank.

[Gamplayerx]

None is booze.  They don't sell liquor at the grocery store.

[Infobahn]

Oh, you live in one of THOSE states.

[Gamplayerx]

Yeah.  You gotta go to a beer store for booze.  At least in this County, they sell all alcoholic beverages at one store.  In Bethesda, hard liquor has to be purchased at a liquor store, beer and wine at a beer store.

[BigDun]

In Tennessee you can buy beer in grocery stores and quick marts but have to go to a liquor store for everything else (including wine). And don't even think about trying to go to a liquor store on Sunday. You can't even buy beer before noon on Sunday. Cause it's the south and that God's day dammit!

[Gamplayerx]

I got "cuban sandwiches" at the store - impulse buy, new item - and I gotta say, though a bit odd, they're mighty tasty.  Ham, roast pork, cheese and pickle on pressed bread.

[Infobahn]

They make a good Cuban Sandwich at Einstien Bros Bagel Shops.  Them are tasty sammiches.

[Alice]

Out here you can get beer, wine and hard liquor at the grocery store.

In the town I grew up in, up until 5 years ago, you couldn't buy alcohol anywhere. 

[DownSouth]

Grocery store-Wine and beer
Lickher store for everything else
You can only get alcohol at restaurants and bars on Sunday.  We still have mini bottles.

[Jessie]

You can buy beer and wine at the grocery stores and liquor at the liquor store.

You can only buy beer on Sunday, and only in Jefferson county and only after 1pm. 

Where I'm moving you can't buy anything ever.

[Gamplayerx]

You can only get alcohol at restaurants and bars on Sunday.  We still have mini bottles.

What's mini bottles?  Is it those little bottles like in hotel minibars?  Wasn't there some controversy about somewhere they use those to mix drinks instead of just pouring out of a regular sized bottle so as to regulate and prevent bartenders giving customers more booze than they've paid for?

Didn't they just change it to allow free-pouring of liquor?  And two of the three counties in this area have adopted local laws that allow beer and wine sales on Sunday.  The onle one of the three that doesn't is the one I live in.  However, you can still only buy liquor in bars and restaurants on Sunday.  Liquor stores also have to be closed by sundown.

Yeah.  Just like the ones on airlines.  There's always controversy over them.  They actually make drinks stronger and we are the only state that uses them.

[Beefy]

I'm of the opinion that most liquor laws are f*cking stupid.  Sundays shouldn't be blue; no one should have the right to tell me I can't buy something because it's "God's Day".  It flies in the face of free capitalism.
