Do you love or hate grocery shopping?
I have to admit that I kind of love it. I love making a list of what I need and then going (by myself) to fill my basket and cross off my list. It relaxes me.
What I don't love is that I have to go to 7 different places to get all the different things that I like. I know it's my fault for being snobby about food, but I still dream about one big mega store that has everything that I love.
So here are the stores I go to and what I get there. Because I know you are dying to know this information.

Costco: Greek yogurt, our favorite granola cereal, paper towels, toilet paper, produce if it looks good, tomato and basil soup, frozen chicken tenders, snacks and drinks for lunches, organic salsa, vitamins and medicine, gum, dark chocolate acai/blueberry snack, fruit and nut mix, almond pops snack, slivered almonds, walnuts, fruit leather, nutella, peanut butter, Coaches oats, laundry detergent.

Backyard Farmer: I should mention this one because I order grains and fresh produce from them on occasion and sometimes meat but it comes right to my doorstep so it's not really "shopping." It's the best thing ever if you live in Mesa or Gilbert. *What are your favorite places to shop and what do you love to get there? |
I too go to several different places. I ALWAYS am watching out for sales!! I try to maintain a healthy diet for my family of 5 while adhering to the budget. Yep, it is quite a task! Walmart is great for dry foods such as, Velveeta Shells and Cheese, a must-have for the MR. In North Carolina we have BJ's, a wholesale store, which is great for cereal, cat litter, milk and ground hamburger. I love Lowe's Foods for their fresh produce since I can never make it to our town square for the fresh produce at the Market. Food Lion tends to have some great deals too! Those are the places I shop!!! Still searching for that budget friendly meat market. :)

Your hilarious!! I love hearing where other people go and what they like there. I usually stick to Frys, Costco, Safeway and Sprouts. It just depends on where the sales are. Im really looking forward to the Winco opening up where the old Costco used to be on Power. We had one of those in Idaho and its the coolest store and cheap!!
