Are you a weekly food shopper?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I used to be one of those organized shoppers who planned out what I needed for the entire week. I organized my menus in advance, figuring how many lunches I needed to pack and how many dinners we were all home for. I even tried to optimize buying certain perishables to try to use them in multiple dishes for added savings.
I am afraid to confess that since school ended, my best laid plans have totally gone by the wayside. Between one son’s traveling baseball team and my other son’s dramatic debut, our schedules are more erratic then ever. I keep opening the fridge to find one drop of milk left and three cereal bowls to fill. Dinner time has become an exercise in combining whatever I can find into something remotely edible.
What about you? Are you finding it easier or more difficult to stay organized now that summer’s hit? Can you stick to a weekly shopping trip or are you a perpetual picker-upper like I’ve suddenly turned into?
