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?

Are there fruits and veggies that you're happy to eat in preserved form? I fill in the gap between when the fresh stuff is gone and when it's convenient to go shopping by keeping supplies of

* canned mandarin oranges, in pear juice; one can contains a half to two-thirds of the recommended daily vitamin C

* frozen spinach; I cream it or eat it raw with lemon and feta

* frozen cooked, pureed squash

* frozen mixed berries.
