Peapod was my saviour over the past few months! It may cost a bit to have your groceries delivered…but I always saved money because there was no impulse shopping involved. I would add what we needed throughout the week (it saves your list until you submit for shipment). A great idea!

There is a hilarious Richard Scarry story about this that reminds me of my husband every time. I would highly encourage your kids to check out “Best Mistake Ever” so you can read it and LAUGH at the similarities between sending Huckle shopping and sending our husbands. I love my husband, but HATE it when he’s gone shopping without my prior consent or detailed list.

Hahaha. I have to write down weights and specific labels, colors, and brands.

Not sure why this is so hard for them :)

Oh mama, I feel your pain.

And why is it so hard to user the club card at the grocery store’s gas station? IT SAVES 10 CENTS PER GALLON. That is big money these days, yet my freewheelin’ husband can’t be bothered to swipe his card.

Don’t get me started on his refusal to use coupons. Obviously, those teeny pieces of paper are as emasculating as ED.

Love it, as usual. I’m actually the grocery shopper in the household at the moment…sometimes take our boy with me. Lately though, things have been too busy, so we’ve been using peapod. SO convenient, especially since they bring stuff right to my kitchen table.

You should see if they deliver in your area…great stuff.

I think they always underestimate what it takes to prepare menus and shop for a whole family. Hello, people who aren’t moms who do that, are paid to do it. They are called chefs, and they don’t even have to do their own shopping.

Oooh this a familiar one! I loved the squeezy parsley – that’s not stupid just, um, creative right?

I have another ‘creative’ shopper for a husband. He’s does reasonably well with extremely specific instructions and a very short list but always, ALWAYS gets lured in by the reduced-to-clear section. So I may have sent him out for bread, milk and cat food but you just know he’s going to come back with minced beef, a packet of broken biscuits, 20 jumbo sausage rolls and a some potato salad. All of which have to be eaten that day.

It’s makes for some ‘creative’ suppers I can tell you…

That’s hilarious. Next time send him with the pictures above and he’ll surely figure it out. :)
