I have always hated going to the grocery. Quick trip, stock-up trip, doesn't matter. I don't like going to the grocery. Any time I can avoid it, I absolutely do.
However, I am also incredibly cheap. So, paying for a grocery delivery service is NOT going to happen. Thomas and I are also very picky eaters, so having someone else "shop" for me and make substitutions is not really an option. Therefore, I grocery shop.
In the beginning of the pandemic, it was not terrifying, but definitely unnerving and unsettling. Not just being around people, but the rows upon rows of empty shelves. If I wasn't careful, it could cause me to panic wondering if I'd be able to get the items I wanted when I wanted (or even NEEDED) them. I'm not longer afraid of being around people, although I keep my distance (as an aside, I am also a good community member and wear a mask). Going to the grocery is still stressful though. Many items are still difficult to find, and options are limited. And then there are the PRICES. Ugh!!! I used to be so proud to be able to find great deals, but those days are over!
