    Grocery shopping

    Who likes it? Hates it?

    How often do you go?

    Night owl? Morning? Midday? Evening?

    What's your budget?

    What sort of stuff do you usually buy?

    What do you do to keep yourself humored?
    _______
    I'm okay with grocery shopping.

    I try to go every month.

    I'm a midday person. I wait till I'm awake.

    My budget is $60-75 (just went today and finished with $61.93)

    Lean Cuisine. Cereal. Clementines. Crackers. Ramen noodles. Salad. I usually go buy sodas and beer at the gas station since they'll have specials for sodas when I need to get more.

    Whistle a song or sing one in my head. Voices in my head.


    edit: I appreciate how well this thread has gotten. If this gets 2 or more pages, I'll approve this for a research paper for anyone.

    Re: Grocery shopping

    Won't answer all the questions but generally I enjoy people watching. People at the grocery store are more interesting that you would think. I generally like to grocery shop because I like food and I get excited about what I'm going to eat....yeah. I don't go when I'm hungry for that reason.
    The weight of what I say depends on how you feel.

      Just another thing I gotta do. I don't hate it...I try to switch up what I buy so I don't dread the trip.

      How often do you go?
      Two or three times a month. I usually underestimate the amount of stuff to buy.

      Night owl? Morning? Midday? Evening?
      Morning. Less people are usually out which means the lines are much shorter or non-existant.

      What's your budget?
      I don't have one, but I certainly don't spend over $40 a trip.

      What sort of stuff do you usually buy?
      Salad, cereal, lunchables, juice, bread, lunch meat, and the occasional cola. I'm the only "healthy" one in the family. I wish my parents would change their eating habits but it's their decision, not mine.

      What do you do to keep yourself humored?
      My trips are usually pretty quick. I just think of what I need and do it. Sometimes a song gets stuck in my head and it plays on repeat the whole time shopping.
      Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.

        Re: Grocery shopping

        Haha, what an interesting thread idea. Okay, here goes...


        I actually kinda enjoy it, gives me a reason to leave my dorm other then classes/going to clubs

        Hardly at all

        Evening/night time is usually the only time during the day that I can do it.

        Pretty low budget, haha. I don't have a job and am living off of financial aid for college.

        I usually only go when I need stuff like shampoo or deoderant etc. I have a meal plan at the college's cafeteria so I hardly ever buy food from a store, unless they are having a really good sale on a particular snack, and even then its rare for me to buy any.

        Although I have a driver's license, I don't own a vehicle, so I usually go with a friend.

              Who likes it? Hates it? I looove it, I love any kind of shopping.

              How often do you go? Every week, I like fresh.
              Night owl? Morning? Midday? Evening? I used to love night shopping at a 24hour shop, no one hogging up the isles no one shouting and moaning. now it's more midday-afternoon

              What's your budget? Pretty much unlimited, I go in for what I need and that's it.

              What sort of stuff do you usually buy? Tea, bread, milk, fruit, veg, clothes.

              What do you do to keep yourself humored? Same as Rubin0, I people watch or go into my own little world.

                Imagine this. You're in a grocery store, You're minding your own business, and you walk down an alsie with someone in front of you. Suddenly...THEY STOP! Like they just bumped in to be your personal speed bump. You know what you want and it's just beyond them. You try to say "excuse me" and they turn and stare at you like you're the fucking rule one. And what happens in the next alsie? THE EXACT SAME FUCKING THING HAPPENS IN THE NEXT AISLE! I'm glad you have all the time in the world to stare at taco shells or vagasil or aluminum foil or whatever but I'm on break. You know what the worst part about this is? THEY NEVER GRAB WHAT THEY'RE STARING AT! I wish a ninja would just pop out and snap their neck because they are not aware of their surroundings. I'd stop and look at that...of course blocking everyone behind me of course.
                Jokes aside, Let me answer your questions:

                Who likes it? Hates it?
                I don't really enjoy going to the store much. I usually let my girlfriend do the shopping but there would be times when i feel like driving to the store lol.

                How often do you go?
                Once or twice a week. I have a lot of people in the house. D:

                Night owl? Morning? Midday? Evening?
                95% of the time, it's in the morning because it's more convenient for me. Other times are random depending on the situation.

                What's your budget?
                Honestly, I don't have one. It just depends how much money I have with me. I normally spend about 20-30 bucks but sometimes I'll end up spending close to 100 bucks on food.

                What sort of stuff do you usually buy?
                Mostly stuff i need for breakfast like cereal, organic milk, sausage, brown egg, 100% wheat bread, waffles, pancake batter (so i can make homemade pancakes :3), syrup, vegetable oil, fruits (organic apples, organic oranges, organic bananas and sometimes grapes), vegetables (roma tomatoes, sweet corn, potatoes, onions, green/red bell peppers, carrots <-- good for your eyes etc)

                What do you do to keep yourself humored?
                I bring my ipod and listen to subjectivemanias music.

                    Re: Grocery shopping

                    Who likes it? Hates it? - Not the biggest fan, feels like a waste of time, but starving to death doesn't sound good either.

                    How often do you go? - Every 2 weeks or so.

                    Night owl? Morning? Midday? Evening? - Middle of the night usually, I like to use my daytime wisely

                    What's your budget? - Usually around $200ish, but usually end up spending less, so average of about $150

                    What sort of stuff do you usually buy? - Stuff that's easy/fast to make, yet still relatively healthy. Pastas, sandwich supplies, lots of cereal, every once in a great while I'll get a case of like, Shasta cola or something, but otherwise the only drink I ever get is milk, and tea packets.

                    What do you do to keep yourself humored? - I walk around texting half the time.

                      Night owl? Morning? Midday? Evening? - Usually in the early morning but there is sometimes when I'm in the mood to go at like 3am when it's completely dead.

                      What's your budget? - $100 a visit on average.

                      What sort of stuff do you usually buy? - Pasta, frozen stuff, sandwich stuff...wait I can't make this list lol.

                              Re: Grocery shopping

                              Who likes it? Hates it? Love it - on the condition that there are lines, which at the time I go at there usually isn't.

                              How often do you go? Varies, soon to be once a week.

                              Night owl? Morning? Midday? Evening? Night owl; usually when i'm coming home from school or work.

                              What's your budget? Depending on how much I'm buying, I tend to avoid going over $20, $50, or $100.

                              What sort of stuff do you usually buy? Milk, fruits, the odd drink, sweets, things that I could blend and experiment with my blender.

                              What do you do to keep yourself humored? Nothing really. I go in and out.
