I just got back and had a lot of fun just picking up what i wanted without any fear of spending too much…it was around a $120 for the groceries and Angela loves it that I go to the store by myself. She helps put away the groceries when I carry them in so I feel that’s enough. Even bought some fudge from the bakery and a carrot cake roll.

I have some bad experiences sz grocery shopping I don’t wanna relive 
I don’t mind it. We go every sunday morning. I usually get lollipops out of it so there is incentive.

I enjoy it if there are no symptoms at play. Being in crowded places with artificial lighting tends to trip me out too much if I have active symptoms. But when my mind is calm and quiet, yes I tend to enjoy taking my time picking out the things I want. It is one of those normal life, empowering experiences.

i usually like to shop if i have no symptoms. but i hardly ever get to go with. most of the shopping is done by my partner and her mom . they don’t like to take me to the store they say i walk too slow. how fast do they expect me to walk with a still healing broken ankle.
glad you had a good time @jukebox, i know sometimes you worry about getting food and money.

I don’t enjoy it as much as I used to but I have my days. I’m picky with grocery stores though and go depending on my mood and budget.

When I go grocery shopping I already know where everything is, so it only takes a few minutes to do it, but I might venture out of my old ways and buy some new stuff next time I go to the store. I bought some ground turkey, which is kind of out of character for me. I have to be careful, and not buy anything I like too much, like a bag of cookies or candy, because I eat them all almost in one sitting. I remember during the wrestling season one year when I pulled a lot of weight, and I went to the grocery store with my mom. Every item I walked past I would fantasize about eating ten or twenty servings of it. Like if I walked past the chocolate syrup I would fantasize about drinking ten cans of it. I fantasized about food constantly then, even when I wasn’t at the grocery store.

I’m with you, Jukebox. I like wandering through the aisles and seeing what they have. It chills me out.
When I was very symptomatic, I went months without grocery shopping. I lived off of rice and things my roommate brought home. Now that I’m better, I love it.

You can shop online at certain Walmarts and they will deliver groceries to your front door. Many times they will waive the delivery fee. And the Walmart that I used to shop online at you can also order office supplies and of course toiletries.
yes, I just had some fudge and thought how lucky I am that I quit smoking !!

I enjoy grocery shopping. When I was 9 or 10 my grandmother would give me half of her list and I’d get to go off with my own basket through the store.

This thread reminds me, I need to go grocery shopping - like NOW! I just looked in my frig and I have bottles of water, half & half, diet soda, baby carrots and apples. I better get to Trader Joe’s before they close in an hour.

Depends if Mrs. Pixel comes with me. A one hour trip turns into a four hour trip because she has to circle the store five times and touch everything twice. Makes me crazy. Get in and get out.

I found out I like going alone and taking my own time, when I’m with someone else I always get stressed, so now I’ve been going alone. I bought one of those old people carts to go up hill in my street with the weight of the groceries and I’m an empowered woman now

Where’s my new name?
I shop for food on Sunday mornings at Whole Foods Market in Annapolis. I make up a list the day before and get everything within an hour. I pretty much know were everything is in the store. I spend bet. $70-$120 a week. It’s a 47 mile drive that I do in a little more than an hour. I like buying food that is wholesome and good tasting. It’s good for your body and it’s good for your mind. “Mens sana in corpore sana.”

I have the grocery shopping bug. Yesterday evening Trader Joe’s. This morning I will go to Whole Foods.
Oh, and to celebrate @Minnie 's ice cream and peanut butter fetish, I will get a peanut butter and chocolate mochi ice cream ball at Whole Foods
