Why have I been doing my own grocery shopping all these years?

When there are people you can pay to literally do it for you????

I’ve been v resistant to the instant cart/click list whatever your grocery store calls their grocery shopping service life.

I am one of those freaks who LIKES grocery shopping. I like creating my list and picking out all of my things myself. A simple pleasure. Which has been stripped from me since COVID! I truly haven’t stepped foot in a grocery store since March. Been v blessed to order Garr around to do my bidding. But we decided to try something different last week and order our groceries online and just pick them up curbside. Umm…absolute GAME CHANGER. I have seen the light! Now, I do need to offer my training skills for how to pick out avocados to last a full week. And the art of digging around the spinach boxes for the best possible expiration date.

But baby steps, people.
