I know that my sister was talking about using the click and collect. I asked her if she had checked it lately. Of course she said no. I was like...you better have a plan B. Most people who place those orders don't get much of what they order. And she lives on fruit loops, pasta, rice and chicken breasts lol. I said, for what you need, your better off getting up early and actually going to the store to get what you want - especially if you want pasta
The hubby and I went out shopping yesterday. We were able to stock up on everything that we needed. We are both still working, so the weekend is the only time we can get out. Doing the click and collect is just not an option, right now for us. With 4 people ( 2 are hungry teenage boys/men ) I really want to get the items I want and can figure out my own substitutes. We also didn't go Saturday, as we knew that it was a pay weekend for those with family allowance and some other social assistance programs ( I think anyways ).
We hit Costco...they were limiting the number of people in the store, but we were in and out in under 30 minutes. It was GREAT!!!! They had a great selection of meats, frozen and basically everything we needed. We were even able to score some toilet paper. But they did have a person watching and limiting everyone to one package. I'm pretty sure the 40 rolls of the 4 of us will last us a couple of months.
We then went to superstore. I sighed thinking it was going to be a zoo. But it was not busy at all. A very good selection of almost everything except for pasta, canned veggies, and of course toilet paper. The baking isle was not full either. BUT, I did score a jar of bread machine yeast which I was on the hunt for. I found it in the cat food section. Someone must have ditched it there...so I scooped that up quickly. As I didn't have much left at home. I was going to buy a lottery ticket because I found that one item
Now to hopefully get another bag of flour. I really like the no name all purpose flour, so I'll check a couple of mornings on my way to work ( as I drive right by our NO frills ) and be a few minutes late.
But now we really should be set for at least 3-4 weeks with that we have now, if I can whip up some fresh bread, buns and a few tasty treats as well. I used to shop like that all time, but the last few years have been, do some meal planning, then buy for what you plan...and that's it. But now I will HAVE to cook lol. I"m going to get the youngest to help and learn as he was in foods this semester...so Momma will be showing him how to cook more than Mr Noodle, soup or grilled cheese lol!
