Last night was a busy one!
I normally try to get all of my errands over the weekend (grocery shopping can be time-consuming), but I had to make a trip to the store last night.
Basically, I’m a bottomless pit lately.
I’ve been doing my normal workouts every morning, but I’ve also been doing two hours of tennis about five days a week (sometimes more if I’m really enjoying myself). Although I love being active, it really makes my grocery bill shoot up. Hey, it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to take.
Before I headed to the grocery store after work, I picked up a new pair of tennis shoes.
I’ve been holding on on buying a new pair for a few weeks. I wanted to make sure that I was actually going to stick with tennis for the long term. Since I realized that I’m pretty much addicted, I shelled out money for a good pair.
I honestly can’t remember the last time I purchased a pair of shoes that weren’t specifically for running.
- Organic baby spinach
- Organic apples
- Organic pears
- Organic tomatoes
- Organic grape tomatoes
- Organic bananas
- Organic baby carrots
- Organic grass fed beef
- Organic cottage cheese
- Organic bleu cheese
- Siggi’s Icelandic yogurt
- Erewhon brown rice cereal
- Organic toasted oat cereal
- Omega-3 eggs
- Olympus Greek yogurt
- Kashi honey sunshine
- Kashi crackers
- Kerrygold Blarney Castle
I bought a block of this cheese on Saturday and it’s already gone. So. Good.
I actually really enjoyed doing my shopping on a week night. The store was basically empty and everything was well stocked. Sometimes it can be a real pain in the butt to fight the crowds on a weekend!
When do you typically do your grocery shopping?

I shop about 2-3 times a week, smaller batches. I enjoy trips to the grocery store!

I’m the opposite of you – I always go during the week and try to avoid weekends because it’s just so busy then. I love grocery shopping when the stores are quiet. But honestly who are we kidding? I’m basically in WF or TJ’s for at least 10 minutes every single day of the week. I <3 grocery shopping
I try to go during the week when it’s less crowded but that doesn’t always happen. That cheese is delicious isn’t it? We went to Ireland this spring and Blarney castle was actually one of my favorite stops on the trip so I may be biased

I do my shopping early Saturday morning before the store is swamped. I like to concentrate which is hard to to when other people are there. Plus, I’m from a small town and usually run into someone I know and get sucked into an hour long conversation if I go in the evening.
There was a recall on organic grape tomatoes this morning. Hope you didn’t get that kind:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – September 28, 2011 – Andrew Williamson Fresh Produce is voluntarily recalling one lot of organic grape tomatoes sold under the Limited Edition® and Fresh & Easy labels due to a possible health risk from Salmonella.

I almost always shop on the weekend because that is when I do most of my cooking. But we still end up at the store mid week for things like bananas, milk, yogurt and eggs.
Love all the organic options!

That greek yogurt you bought is my most favorite kind! I die with excitement when it’s on sale at WF sometimes! Recently it was on sale- 5 for $5 and you had better believe I stocked up

Those tennis shoes look awesome. Definitely worth it!
I loved shopping on weekdays during the summer… if I had more time I’d still do it now. Usually I’ll go on the weekend now, but that also means Friday for me since I don’t have classes.
Good thing you got more of that Blarney Castle so I can try it next week.

I try to go after work during the week. Since I don’t get off until 8, the store is usually pretty empty. I hate having to fight crowds!

I usually do my grocery shopping on the weekends but sometimes I have to make a trip during the week if I run out of something. Lately I have been making an effort to stock up on produce at the farmer’s market on Wednesday’s and at another grocery store in town that gets their organic produce shipment on Tuesdays!

I HATE grocery shopping on the weekends. I much prefer to sneak in first thing on a weekday. The stores are quiet, everything’s stocked and all the crazies aren’t in my way!
On my must buy list: eggs, spinach, milk, oats, corn tortillas, bananas and a million other fruits and veggies.

I usually stop by Whole Foods on my way home from my part-time gig. It’s great because it’s usually about 3pm when I’m in there, so it’s never too busy.
I definitely go there a few times a week. So addictive.
Oh my Gosh I have been having the same problem! I spent so much money at the store not even a week ago and I already have no food. Fitness junkie problems. haha
I am definitely a weekend shopper. I love taking my time. I also love the crowds and samples on the weekends.
