I guess the amount of trips I make isn't particularly important as long as I stay within budget, right?

2018-09-19 23:03:43 UTC  

Me? My waifu does the shopping, usually once a week if you buy a few gallons of milk or whatever you use the most

2018-09-19 23:03:54 UTC  

I keep realizing I forgot to buy something

2018-09-19 23:04:21 UTC  

For example, I just realized I don't have a potato masher or a strainer

2018-09-19 23:04:42 UTC  

Oh, like pots, pans, and utensils?

2018-09-19 23:04:55 UTC  

At least you only have to get them once

2018-09-19 23:05:21 UTC  

whenever you buy something, think: do I have the stuff to make this?

2018-09-19 23:05:22 UTC  

I was trying to hold off on grocery shopping until Friday but this stuff is kinda important. Yes, kitchen stuff, but if I'm gonna go make a trip I might as well do next weeks groceries.

2018-09-19 23:08:09 UTC  

Potato smasher, lol. Making your own mashed potatoes?

2018-09-19 23:08:35 UTC  

Well, no, because I'm on keto, but mashed cauliflower

2018-09-19 23:09:12 UTC  

That's why I didn't think about getting it earlier. I bought cauliflower, but a few days later I realized you can mash it like potatoes. It's really good, I did it with a fork yesterday.

@Jacob I go grocery shopping almost every day after work, since it's extremely convenient for me to do so (store is next to my shop), and since I'm on a motorcycle it helps me be very picky and restrictive on what I buy. I know exactly how much/what I can pack in my bags to get home, and it prevents impulse buying. I also generally stick to just getting stuff on sale (BOGO), and that's what'll be for dinner for the next night or two.

2018-09-19 23:10:13 UTC  

I have a store near by, too, but it WinCo is 1 hour 30 minutes away

2018-09-19 23:10:38 UTC  

The stores near me aren't particularly bad (except Safeway, which is a rip off), it's just that WinCo has both an amazing selection and amazing prices

2018-09-19 23:10:58 UTC  

Motorcycle grocery shopping = cope posting irl

2018-09-19 23:11:00 UTC  

lol

2018-09-19 23:11:35 UTC  

Is it unreasonable for me to spend that kind of time getting to a grocery store? The prices and selection are just too great to pass up

2018-09-19 23:11:51 UTC  

I love it 😃 They know me so well at the store, that they even know exactly how to bag my items for me now so it'll fit in my m/c bags properly.

2018-09-19 23:11:54 UTC  

Normally I'd put it off until later since I have homework, but tomorrow I'm trying to get a job interview, so I definitely won't have time

2018-09-19 23:11:55 UTC  

I'd say yes if you are buying for a while.

2018-09-19 23:12:04 UTC  

An hour and a half away? Dude...

2018-09-19 23:12:05 UTC  

Yes to what?

2018-09-19 23:12:26 UTC  

But 1.5 hours is pretty crazy. Gas alone might make up any difference you saved. :-p

2018-09-19 23:12:32 UTC  

An hour and a half drive to get groceries? One way?

2018-09-19 23:12:43 UTC  

I don't use gas, that's why it's so far 😉

2018-09-19 23:12:48 UTC  

I don't have a car

2018-09-19 23:12:56 UTC  

If I had a car it wouldn't take that long

2018-09-19 23:13:02 UTC  

Ah ok. Still 3 hours of your life gone though.

2018-09-19 23:13:11 UTC  

Are you taking the bus?

2018-09-19 23:13:13 UTC  

yep

2018-09-19 23:13:22 UTC  

idk maybe I can do something productive on my phone

2018-09-19 23:13:33 UTC  

Basically, you can only shop for what you can fit in your backpack

2018-09-19 23:13:41 UTC  

@Flint You learn to be extremely frugal, selective, and resist impulse buying when you do all your grocery shopping on a motorcycle!

2018-09-19 23:13:59 UTC  

Yeah, you're going to be going a lot, then

2018-09-19 23:14:00 UTC  

@Flint Backpack, 2 saddle bags, and a sissy bar bag

2018-09-19 23:14:19 UTC  

@Flint Ya, but that applies to any store I go to. Also my backpack is pretty big and I can carry two bags. So I don't think that's an issue.

2018-09-19 23:14:27 UTC  

My only issue really is whether it's a waste of time.

2018-09-19 23:14:37 UTC  

@Phillip Wiglesworth - FL That's not too bad, then. That's a lot more bags on your bike than most have

2018-09-19 23:15:10 UTC  

@Jacob yeah dude, it's a waste of time. You may save a few bucks, but a 3 hour round trip?

2018-09-19 23:15:15 UTC  

@Flint When I buy bread stuffs, they go on my lap 😂 or charcoal, when I'm gonna BBQ. Get funny looks with a bag of charcoal on my lap

2018-09-19 23:16:17 UTC  

3 hour round trip will get old real quick. You're going to find yourself tightening your diet just so you don't have to go out there again.
