I do this a lot. Well used to more, but lately, I buy what I need to for at least a week or more at a time and make meals from those ingredients with a basic plan in mind. Saves a TON of money!
I am learning!! The problem now though is when you have a basically good plan, shop and get home...and then you forgot like one little thing...these days it's pretty hard to just run out and get it. I don't want to make any extra trips to the store for just one forgotten item, when normally that isn't a big deal at all. I now have a running list of things and try to remember to write things down right away...and then add that to the master list when I am going to shop or order etc.
I"m not sure I understand this. You have to wait 2 weeks for a grocery order? Confused.
Don't YOU have to wait 2 weeks there lol?? Kidding. I know...you can get anything pretty much instantly in America right
) Yeah so...before the appocalypse...or as some people are now calling it "in the times BC" , here in Toronto, we had a few grocery stores that offered ordering online with delivery. You could go online and choose a delivery window. You used to be able to get it for one or two days later...here in Canada most retailers have not reached the level of some US ones where same day online ordering and delivery was an option...but we were doing pretty well getting our stuff on time one or two days out - or you could schedule further out if you wanted.
But noww........well now as you know the world is on it's *** and...nothing is as it was. All those stores that used to have online delivery still do...but their delivery windows are booked solid for at least two weeks out. They also have "order online and pickup and we will put in your trunk" options, but those windows are also very scarce. Also, as in a lot of places we are running short on things like flour, toilet paper, and cleaning products...so if you put those on your list...you'll probably end up with some really random **** instead lol....
I have had some success when I wake up in the middle of the night and can't sleep, checking for newly released grocery delivery window in the same style as refreshing for coveted FP's....and sometimes it works! But mostly now....I have to just plan to risk my life and go to an actual store, which really stresses me out. Also, my last order...didn't even show up at all, and could not reach anyone in customer service about it. A lot of smaller retailers who never had delivery before are ramping that up, but it takes time, and not too many people are signing up to be drivers anymore so. That's where we are at here....
I confess I never understand what they are asking me to do either and they are more frustrating than worth it to me. I think if they had an example to show you what it's for it'd be more enjoyable for me.
Yes that would be a great idea!! I agree, I enjoy these more when I've already seen someone else's pics with them so I know why they are asking you to do weird rando things with your arms.
