I have an elaborate meal planned, buy the ingredients, look at my find and think,"that's enough for one meal...looks like I'll be eating leftovers for awhile." <br /><br />At least it's all pretty healthy food!Beckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10496328107193020309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730869259900917297.post-44399236701424728182010-08-11T09:06:24.881-05:002010-08-11T09:06:24.881-05:00first off, all of that looks amazing. you can groc...first off, all of that looks amazing. you can grocery shop for me anytime. If I dont make a list when I walk into the grocery store I do the same thing. Come out with a bunch of random stuff that I can not make a meal out of. I have to think breakfast,lunch,dinner when I am mkaing my list. otherwise I fail. and I hate the grocery so I dont like to go back again.Kerrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05924665017708657710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730869259900917297.post-64566641469067625972010-08-11T03:41:10.380-05:002010-08-11T03:41:10.380-05:00I shop online.

Then I look at what I will have spare and see what meals link up.<br /><br />Then after the 7 meals, I order enough bread for the week and a selection of sandwich fillings and crisps for lunches.<br /><br />Then milk and cereal for breakfasts.<br /><br />Lastly I make a misc section on my list on word and select a few snacks.<br /><br />misc:<br />coca cola<br />beer<br />mars bars<br /><br />That is the only way I dont get extra stuff. I physically have to use the search bar for each ingredient so I dont even have the option to browse the store.<br /><br />I am the worst at shopping hence this rigid routine.Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10005942815899706165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730869259900917297.post-7546837726218746372010-08-11T02:24:09.246-05:002010-08-11T02:24:09.246-05:00I TOTALLY do this too, so I finally (as in, last w...I TOTALLY do this too, so I finally (as in, last week) started making a meal plan and just bought the ingredients I'd need for the week...<br /><br />DAY 1: stuck to the plan<br />DAY 2: parents invited me to dinner<br />DAY 3: coworker called and asked if I'd get Sushi with him<br />DAY 4: Out all day hiking, way too tired to cook (or even eat...)<br /><br />hmm...

I wouldn't even allow myself to go tonight, even though my cupboards are bare, because I've done ZERO meal planning and will probably walk out with cookies and an apple. Which is fine...but hardly a successful grocery trip!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397176667036107115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730869259900917297.post-30736938695398610732010-08-10T18:52:57.440-05:002010-08-10T18:52:57.440-05:00If I venture into the middle aisles of the grocery...If I venture into the middle aisles of the grocery store I always end up with lots of snack food! Mainly because I rarely buy it and so I'm easily tempted. Michael Pollan has a great tip in all of his books to stick to the perimeter of groceries. That's where the freshness is! <br /><br />The other way to curb the snack food impulse purchases is to shop at farmers markets.Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04138050246830502228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730869259900917297.post-62385496175788822972010-08-10T18:40:27.866-05:002010-08-10T18:40:27.866-05:00I have to make a list ... otherwise I do what you ...I have to make a list ... otherwise I do what you did. :)Sarah @ Preaching In Pumpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17692318075255368895noreply@blogger.com
