grocery shopping

[mllesays]

Grocery shopping is the worst chore in the world for me.  How do you make yourselves do it?

It's not that I think I'm particularly bad at it — I definitely never buy enough produce, but it's always because I'm scared I won't eat it in time — but rather that I loathe it with a passion and would rather eat all the food in the house before I force myself out to buy new things.

Any tips, tricks, suggestions?

This is a little dorky, but I like going grocery shopping with somebody else more than going alone.

Not dorky at all! I feel the same.

I do this too--it's not always feasible, and sometimes more expensive, but when I shop by myself I tend to circle the store aimlessly for 45 minutes and end up at the checkout with a toothbrush and a loaf of bread, having decided I didn't need anything else on my list today. Someone else keeps me focused and motivated.
