  • i just dont buy a lot
  • I shop early in the morning, before the crazy housewives are let loose. I have also noticed that they are not present early Sunday morning in particular.

      I also noticed 2-4 am is a slow time, but probably not convenient for most. And when school lets out. They're all at school. But traffic can be difficult at that time.
    • lavender
      I used to do my shopping around 6 am, but since moving to this town, I have learned it's not safe at that hour, especially on a Saturday morning, sadly.
  • Honey, that train done left the station! But it has nothing to do with grocery shopping. I never really thought about it being difficult until my body started falling apart. I just always did it. I used to shop once a week when the boys were home. Now I usually shop once or twice a month. Since my challenges are probably different from yours why don't you tell me which part is difficult for you? Maybe we can give you some pointers.
  • Self-control, lots of it.

  • Having a cup of tea in the café beforehand, then making fart noises when my partner bends over to get something off the low shelf, don't worry he mainly does it to me. Having a quick flick through the newspapers and magazines without buying.
    • mugwort
      I look through the contents of magazines I see if there are articles I want to read. I don't want to waste my cash on a magazine I don't want to read., I like your idea of a cup of tea in the cafe beforehand
  • When I'm in a major chain grocery...nothing. It begins before crossing the threshold, though. It begins when I pull into the parking lot; there is little difference tween it and the store aisles. All I can do is minimize exposure time! In and out! When I'm in a smaller independent food store, there's no crazy to begin with! Apples n oranges!
  • I do online shopping!😎
  • Get in, get what you need and get out.
