Another month means another trip to the grocery. Yay!
I was supposed to do my groceries on the day I went to the beach. Yup, I decided to go out with Leann that day and moved my grocery shopping the next.
Next day came and I've finally dragged myself out of the house after convincing myself several times to do the groceries that day. It was already late afternoon and since it was a Sunday, I was expecting more crowd in the mall.
My expectation was right, there were more people on Sunday afternoon. Push carts have even ran out. I was worried if I can do my groceries that day. Lol. I first paid our bills and went next to the drugstore. I went back to the push cart area and saw very few parked at the corner. So, let the shopping begin!
Back when I was with my mama, we would do the groceries per category. It helps not to miss any items and you can properly arranged them in your cart. Now that I'm alone, I just begin at the nearest aisle and to the next until I've passed through all the aisles. The last items I get are the fresh produce and frozen foods so they aren't melted when I reach home.
That on the photo above was the chocolate aisle. Who doesn't love chocolates?
Do you know what I'm making based on this photo? Lol.
My cart is usually 50% fresh produce because I'd rather do the shopping in one place. Their prices is almost the same as the wet market anyway. However, I've noticed that vegetables on the wet market are fresher.
It's funny that this string beans was priced 13.13. It reminded me of my mama so I chose it. Also, I was lucky to still get some fillet chicken breast because it usually runs out fast.
And finally lining up to the cashier. The long lines were already gone when I arrived. One of the baggers was kind enough to offer assitance to push my cart and put my groceries into the vehicle. I can do it myself but I wouldn't mind a little help sometimes.
Surprisingly, it only took me an hour to do my groceries this time and was able to return home before the skies got dark. Congrats to me! I'm also glad that I was able to purchase all the items on my list this time!
Mission accomplished!
