Feed Me

My food supplies are looking a little lean this week, but I'm making do with what I have since grocery stores wear me out. In a word, grocery shopping is laborious. It requires patience and endurance to maneuver through all the aisles, locate items on a cusp (Is oatmeal in the cereal aisle or the baking aisle? Beats me.) and jockey for position in line. That's not to mention all the time and money it consumes.

Here's all I really need to live happily for weeks at a time (in no particular order): milk, baby carrots, onions, eggs, bread, peanut butter, jelly, applesauce and rice. So long as I have those staples, I can usually scrounge up enough other ingredients to make my meals interesting.

Currently, I have a lot of sauerkraut, eggs, celery and grape jelly. Know of any recipes with those four ingredients? I also have four sticks of butter if that's helpful.

You should shop at Fareway: Economical Food Stores. That takes the "laborious" out of grocery shopping! :) I love Fareway!

I agree with Becky - Fareway rocks! AND, even if you realize you missed something earlier as you were meandering through, you don't have to walk back through 900 miles of store to go get the missed item. And let's not forget the added bonus of the cute meat counter boys! ;)

Glad your seeing things my way, friend. I hate grocery shopping too.
