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?

Most of the stuff I do has already been suggested! This comm is really full of helpful people!

I keep a shopping list pinned to my fridge. When I notice I'm (almost) out of something it gets added. When I actually manage to plan meals (I don't like this either) ingredients go on the list, too. Since I can't get everything at one store, I printed out some lists which are already divided by store.

I have a shopping trip in my schedule for the week (not always the same day), and then I only have to grab the relevant list and my ipod and am done really quickly.
