I guess the amount of trips I make isn't particularly important as long as I stay within budget, right?
Me? My waifu does the shopping, usually once a week if you buy a few gallons of milk or whatever you use the most
I keep realizing I forgot to buy something
For example, I just realized I don't have a potato masher or a strainer
Oh, like pots, pans, and utensils?
At least you only have to get them once
whenever you buy something, think: do I have the stuff to make this?
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.
Potato smasher, lol. Making your own mashed potatoes?
Well, no, because I'm on keto, but mashed cauliflower
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.
I have a store near by, too, but it WinCo is 1 hour 30 minutes away
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
Motorcycle grocery shopping = cope posting irl
lol
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
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.
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
I'd say yes if you are buying for a while.
Yes to what?
But 1.5 hours is pretty crazy. Gas alone might make up any difference you saved. :-p
An hour and a half drive to get groceries? One way?
I don't use gas, that's why it's so far 😉
I don't have a car
If I had a car it wouldn't take that long
Ah ok. Still 3 hours of your life gone though.
Are you taking the bus?
yep
idk maybe I can do something productive on my phone
Basically, you can only shop for what you can fit in your backpack
@Flint You learn to be extremely frugal, selective, and resist impulse buying when you do all your grocery shopping on a motorcycle!
Yeah, you're going to be going a lot, then
@Flint Backpack, 2 saddle bags, and a sissy bar bag
@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.
My only issue really is whether it's a waste of time.
@Phillip Wiglesworth - FL That's not too bad, then. That's a lot more bags on your bike than most have
@Jacob yeah dude, it's a waste of time. You may save a few bucks, but a 3 hour round trip?
@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
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.
