When I go grocery shopping it becomes an all day effort. Make the list, price compare, unload the cart (thankfully today there was a cashier avaiable so I didn't have to do my own checking out) reload the cart with the bagged groceries, load the car with them, carry them into the house, unpack the bags and put everything away. I try to freeze some things in individual servings so they will thaw more quickly when I want to use them which takes some time as well. Today was such a day and since it has been a while since I did any major shopping there was lots to do. The up side of this is I had lots of options for photo subjects and did have to struggle to find something.
Eggsacktly! I think that too which is why we are lucky with supermarket delivery. i have plenty of time to examine the food for nutritional value, compare prices etc and then place my order. I am getting my delivery this afternoon and it lasts for 3 weeks.
I am due to go food shopping sometime over the next few days. It's not an all day affair like yours, but it does take a good chunk out of the afternoon!
Grapes look delicious! Very nice half n half. I try to go the grocery store late at night when there are very few people in the store. I hate waiting in lines 🤨
Beautiful shot of those delicious looking grapes, fabulous half and half too. We are very fortunate here in the sense that we do not have to unpack or pack, the shops have staff for that ;-)
Wonderful image. Shopping is a big deal any time. I hope you had enough money in the bank to pay for everything, groceries here are so expensive these days.
I hear ya! Today, I'm going shopping for a dinner party at my house, and I KNOW I am going to forget something, and then all the effort! These grapes remind me of this poem by william carlos williams!
This is Just to Say
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
Great shot, most of the supermarkets in the Netherlands have one or two check out points with a cashier, and the rest are self scan ….those are only efficient when you have less than 10 items in your shopping cart.
Most of us would have been happy with a bunch of grapes for a half and half… you always have a little bonus that makes all the difference between a nice pic and a great pic. The stem is a perfect bonus today.
don't you just hate those self-check outs? so many people are also being made redundant by those machines. i love how you set this up, girlfriend. aces!
@maggiemae I should do something like that @olivetreeann If I went more often it might not be so daunting @shutterbug49 Thanks debbie. I tried it a few times but like to see what is available and on sale @eudora Thanks Diane. I didn't even want to go on about the prices @milaniet that make me happy to hear Milanie thank you @madamelucy thank you so much. A great idea but often the shelves need stocking then @30pics4jackiesdiamond It is and I didn't yet. It went into the freezer @monikozi I truly appreciate the comment Monika @ludwigsdiana thank you Diana. The store I go to now has gone to mostly self check out but I think the prices are cheaper than the stores that have staff to do the loading and unloading @wakelys That sounds like a great way to do it. Thanks Sue @joansmor thank you so much Joan @kjarn I have eaten a few of them and they are thank you Kathy @louannwarren Thanks Lou Ann. Money is not a problem yet but it is getting more expensive than I would like @darylo I almost always forget something too Cute poem that could have been my house before everyone grew up and left @jacqbb Thanks Jacqueline. That is what we have where I shop but not all stores are like that and when I go for more than a few items I try to use the cashier for that very reason @marilyn I am so glad you noticed that because that is what made me decide to shoot the grapes! Thanks Sissy♥ @dutchothotmailcom Thanks Esther. I appreciate it @summerfield boy do I! That is why I always try to use the cashiers. Thanks friend!
