How to explain my hatred of grocery shopping??? I don't know what it is but I LOATHE going to the grocery store. Something about it puts me in a bad mood and makes me want to commit terrible hurtful crimes on people i do not know.
Well, it's a new year and a new training season. I have decided to become a healthy eater...so I went to see the dietician goddess known as Meredith. We came up with some ideas as well as a new grocery store venture. Obviously, she understood the pain of me going to my ghetto neighborhood heb. We decided that twice a month I would go to the super store heb in Kyle on my way home from school. Today was my first day to try this super sized heb. I was all excited hoping for a pleasant experience one that would make me want to find the foods I'm supposed to be eating. Um, yeah, it was more like a living nightmare that involved the typical suburbia box with a grocery cart as high as I am tall (when did the buggies get this big?) next thing you know I am lost in the home area of the store and still haven't found the Alexia potatoes. I'm screwed at this point. So, my hatred for grocery shopping still exists. All I know is there is a new requirement for the men that I date. They will have to do the grocery shopping.
I hate the HEB on Oltorf/Congress. I would rather go to Randalls and pay MORE money than go there. No lines and good parking equals me being able to get in and out quickly and a happier person.
ReplyDeleteMmmm...Alexia potatoes. I don't get to eat those very often.
ReplyDeleteWhen do you shop? Do you need a buddy? I like Stephanie's idea of going to Randalls and paying a little more if it is that painful for you. They also have some good deals if you shop with a Remarkable card or coupons.
Yes, Ladies, I totally agree in paying more for my sanity. Really I just wish we didn't have the open container law and then I would drink margaritas while shopping;-)
ReplyDeleteSteph- do you go to the Randall's on Ben White?
I love the grocery store, but loathe the Ghetto HEB even tho it's 1.5 miles away.
ReplyDeleteI will NOT who at Randalls. Please send your extra money my way of you have that much to spare! Then again, I won't step foot in a walmart either.
Katie, you run long on Saturdays, meaning you don't party on Friday. Do what I and dozens of other "athletes" do; we shop on Friday after 6pm! It's friggin deserted! HEB on brodie is my friend! It's really not far from you at all.
I loove the grocery store, just wish I had my old budget back!
Who = shop
ReplyDeleteStupid iPhone
Grocery shopping sucks. Good idea to get a boyfriend that does it... Other than that, I do better if I go more frequently (no kidding) for just a few things. Better to RUN in and get a day's meals (or 2 days worth) than a whole excursion at the store. A big shopping day (even on a Friday night!!) makes me nutty.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I can be your new boyfriend?? I LOVE to grocery shop. It's the only time when I can put anything I want in the basket and not worry about if I can afford it or not :) Although, I haven't been as much as I used to since I've been eating Meredith approved meals. Eating with her has made my shopping a lot faster. I really enjoy going through all the aisles :)
ReplyDeleteYep, I used to hitt the Randalls on Ben White. I hate hate the Heb on Congress. Sorry Mike but I would rather pay double than to go nuts. Randalls does have good deals sometimes.
ReplyDeletePS. Time for a new quote or post Katie.
there's an HEB on Congress???? seriously?
ReplyDeleteyou know, I hate going to the grocery store too! I'm right there with ya!
ReplyDeletebut then again, I don't cook, so no real need for me to go to the store except for the essentials which I'd rather go to walgreens for.
I do like the WF at gateway, small enough to get in, and get out. even if I do spend a little extra.
