When food shopping, do you prefer to shop online or in person?
It’s definitely something to do in-person. I don’t much food shopping except to drop by the grocery store after work to refill our 5-gallon jugs of drinking water and maybe buy a tub of yogurt. It isn’t that our tap water isn’t drinkable, in fact, I frequently drink from it, the jugs are for the water cooler so mom can have hot water at her convenience.
Anyway, since I have a garden, I usually do my food shopping in the garden but that’s only during the spring, summer, and autumn. I must return to grocery-shop during the winter months.
Do you take/stick to a shopping list?
I don’t ever have a list except if it’s something I keep forgetting to get. I have a three-strike rule – forget the first time, remember it the next time, forget the second time, remember to get the next time, forget the third time, okay, time to write it down. That’s when I have a list on my phone.
Do you shop around or are you store loyal for convenience?
It depends on the item but other than food and clothes, it’s typically between Walmart and Amazon. I don’t know many other stores to shop from.
Roughly how long does it take you to do a weekly shop?
If weekly shop means shopping for grocery, then not long since I don’t get to decide my meals. Mom decides what I am to eat each day, except breakfast, which is usually oatmeal, and I don’t really do lunch since dinner is at 4:30 PM.
If it were up to me, I would probably spend around 2 hours at the grocery store each week because I would spend reading labels. I’m a stickler when it comes to reading food labels, to make sure I know what I’m putting into my body.
This is Another Story 
Good point about reading labels. I do too, not only on the product by the shelf. Sometimes you think you’re getting a good deal not realising that packages are different sizes, so comparing the prices kg for kg helps me keep to a budget. If something is more expensive one week, I cut back the next, but since I have started using cash for my groceries for the interim shopping, it stops me from impulse buying or overspending. Thanks for joining in.

The grocery store I go to only takes debit card or cash, so that helps me to spend less and stops the impulses though I have little to no impulses now when shopping for food, since I have little to no chance to cook in the kitchen, so why bother.
