Yea there has to be a more streamlined approach, that isn't cost prohibitive. I'd love to do grocery delivery, but I doubt it makes sense financially heh.Julie Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06462386948229063576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094700953309998492.post-18556971946736658592015-03-08T23:50:45.179-04:002015-03-08T23:50:45.179-04:00AMEN!

I gave up taking my daughter though because every time we go to walmart, we have to get mcdonalds..or if we go to Giant Eagle she has to play in the kid zone..and get all germy and sick.

If not him, then I buy Sushi and bribe the youngest to help me. Here is where it gets good. After the food is put away I get to hang with her, chat and eat sushi with her. It is a fun date that she has no idea that she is attending :)<br /><br />xoxoxoBritishMumUSAhttp://www.britishmumusa.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094700953309998492.post-52829636829979818532015-03-07T11:12:18.934-05:002015-03-07T11:12:18.934-05:00They have grocery delivery services now!

I just like walking around the store, thinking of new recipes and about what it took to get all the food to the store. But with kiddos it's a different story. :)<br /><br />Thanks for linking up at the Shine Blog Hop!Tiffany {A Touch of Grace}https://www.blogger.com/profile/01546013849310750118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094700953309998492.post-66638352562423963532015-03-06T09:01:33.666-05:002015-03-06T09:01:33.666-05:00I've started doing the same thing.

Most grocery stores in my area have a 15% off day once a month, so we get all our nonperishables, meat (which I separate and freeze) and household items then. For the rest of the month, it's just quick trips for veggies, dairy and bread. It does mean meal planning for an entire month instead of week-by-week but we usually do pretty well with it.
