Has finally come to my area and I just did my grocery shopping online. If they actually deliver it when they say they will, this is AWESOME! I wonder if I'll get paper or plastic.
Anybody have any experience with this?
Lazy britches.
I love it.
It comes in plastic bags (if you did peapod). They are pretty good about delivering on time. They were only late once, and they called and told me that there was a delay.
I did it in Minneapolis. I think the only thing I didn't like was the produce, some of the things they brought I would never have selected. While things are brought in coolers, they can't be left for too long outside, and if you have to wait around - why not go to the store. It was useful when we couldn't go to the store because of Andy's health.
It's not peapod, that's not in my neighborhood yet. It's Safeway.
I like shopping too much to want to give it up, but a friend of mine does it fairly regularly. She lives a few blocks up from the Reading Terminal Market where she can get it all super cheap, but hey, different strokes.
I've always enjoyed grocery shopping. It's sort of zen for me. I like to go down each and every single aisle, to make sure I don't miss anything I need, but it's also a good way to find new things to try.
Of course, this also makes for over $100 of groceries every trip.
I hate, hate, hate grocery shopping.

It should be "couch Jabba the Hutt." Because people just don't say that enough.

Yeah. She's way uptight like that.
I'm already a couch.
The groceries are supposed to be here between 10 and 12 today.
I have never used Safeway delivery, but we have for work...they are pretty good, too.
I always spend about $100 grocery shopping. I go every two weeks. Usually, I buy enough to last 3 weeks just in case I can't make it to the commissary during the weekend.

$100 for two weeks? I spend about $300 every week.

Yep. We go to the commissary, so it is cheaper. We get chicken breasts for about $3 where it costs $6 at Safeway.
If we are running really low on groceries, we spend about $150. I think that is the most we have spent since we moved in our house.

Also, Cn cooks. Buying those pre-prepared meals tends to cost more, at least around here.

I like the pre-prepared meals. But the bulk of the dough goes to produce, deli, soda and juice.
Lazy.

I buy Lean Cuisines for lunch...but they are like $2 or $3 dollars each. I also buy a party sized lasagna and some of those stir fry bags for nights when I don't really feel like cooking. But that is only once or twice a week.

My brother told me you got pregnant from sitting on a toilet in a pink bathing suit. He also told me that the Snorks lived in the bottom of our toilet. He also told me that tennis balls bounce because of peer pressure.
I don't trust brothers.
