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?

Well, since it sounds like planning is your issue, don't plan. Like others have said, have stuff you eat reliably. I don't buy much produce, but I always have some frozen veggies on hand. I tend to keep stuff like pasta, rice, etc. around so I don't need to shop for them specifically. Having staples generally means less grocery shopping, like I always have a few grains, canned beans, spices, eggs, garlic, flour, etc lying around. I also always have one sweet and one savory snack on hand in case a craving hits.
