1. Grocery shopping--love it or hate it? Actually, I kinda enjoy it. I like comparing different products for their nutritional value, and figuring out the best buy. Sometimes bulk is not cheaper, so I keep my phone's calculator handy.
2. Who is the primary food shopper in your household? I am. Not to dig on Beth, but I care a lot more about what I eat (I'm also way more of a picky eater than she). Beth doesn't enjoy shopping as much as I do, so she's kinda of an in-and-out of shopper. That doesn't lend to price and nutrition comparisons. I also do most of the cooking, so I'm more aware of what we need, what we're running low on, and how much room we have in the fridge. Plus my schedule is more flexible.
3. Do you have a beloved store like TJ's which is unique to your location or family? We have a Walmart and a Brookshire's. Walmart is closer, cheaper, and has a better selection of lean cut meat and lower calorie/fat and higher fiber foods. However, as of late, our Walmart has been slowly getting rid of their healthier foods.
4. How about a farmer's market, or CSA share, as we move into summer? Or do you grow your own fruits/veggies/herbs? I wish I had the time to grow my own. I love cucumbers, corn, and potatoes, and they're best when fresh. I'm sure having fresh lettuce on hand would lend to eating more salads. But I barely have the time to mow, let alone learn how to tend a garden and then do it.
5. What's the favorite thing you buy at the grocery store? I like meat.

Never thought of going to Walmart for groceries. Bummer they're going less healthy on you.
I like the analytical approach to shopping
dont love or hate it
I do it mostly.
Always look for the best deal.
We dont shop at a store for much however.
We are a member of an organic produce co op, we get out meat and eggs straight from the farm.
We find that we get more value, healthier food and better prtices that way.
