Grocery shopping is actually one of the few kinds of shopping that I actually enjoy, but there are still times when I'd rather eat up whatever's left in the house because I just don't want to go out and make the effort.

I get from the other comments that you don't like planning too far in advance, but maybe have just one recipe, a new one or an old favorite, that you can look forward to buying the ingredients for, and build a list around that.

There's also been times I've gone shopping without any list whatsoever and looked at shelves I don't normally look at, and found items I never knew existed, and taken them home and enjoyed them. That can be kind of fun and give you a new perspective on the same-old store.

Giving yourself a treat for getting it done sounds like a good idea, too. Rent a movie or get new library books or call a friend or whatever turns you on!
