grocery list

Thursday, August 31, 2006

One of my favorite things to do is write out a grocery list. I love thinking about what foods we should have in our cupboards especially since they're usually so bare. I love planning out meals and getting the ingredients for them.

I'm highly organized so I write out my grocery list in order of aisles, the aisles that I can see if I close my eyes. I've been going to the same grocery store since I was little. Every week I would go with my mom, sitting in the cart, helping her. When I got older I would get to push the cart and run the calculator. Ah, the calculator... We usually had a tight budget so while we shopped I would type in the amount for whatever we put in the cart. This way we knew if we could get the ice cream in the last aisle or not.

Josh and I don't get groceries every week or sometimes every month but we always have a plan if we do. I started my grocery list last night which includes the usual cereal and spaghetti o's but it also has some different things for a new recipe. I'm getting excited about the prospect of having food in the house...full cupboards. What a great idea.
