Morning all
Being Friday for me its my main grocery shop day......hubby gets paid every 2 weeks so the mid month payday is when I get my "big shop" all the tinned stuff, soap powders etc.... but every Friday you can find me in my car heading for the supermarket to stock up on fresh produce and what I call fridge stuff... I get enough veggies, salad and fruit to last till Tuesday when I go get fresh for the rest of the week....it made me think of when I was a kid ( long time ago)...when every Friday my Dad would take us to the supermarket...he was on shift work and mum worked full time....and he would buy for the whole week....and guess he planted the Friday habit in my head.. however when I was working full time and a single parent and trying to stretch the old bank account I used to do a big monthly shop and just get a few bits as I needed them...and it made we wonder how do you all shop? Are you like me and go on certain days, and have certain times of the month for certain things ( god that makes me sound anal!!!!) or do you shop daily and where do you shop?
Living in Texas the grocery shop experience is very different to the UK ( its prob different to the rest of the US too), we don't have butchers shops or bakery shops or even green grocers so everything is got from the supermarket...
I used to love wondering from shop to shop, having a butcher cut the meat in a certain way for me, having the fishmonger fillet the fish I had chosen....ah the memories ....LOL
