    2. Coupons...yes or no? Yes

    3. Who does the grocery shopping in your house...you, DH or both? Sometimes DH will go or if we are out running other errands, we will stop. Sometimes I go on my lunch hour. Although, I hate that.

    4. How often do you go to the store? Once a week. I'd like to go every other, but we end up needing fruits and veggies, etc.

    5. Do you organize your list? By the layout of the store

     

  • 1.Do you always go to the same store? Or do you pick one based on sales, like me?
    -I always go to acme. I basically don't even have to leave my neighborhood to get there.

    2. Coupons...yes or no?
    - I cut them out, put them in a folder, and then forget to bring them with me.

    3. Who does the grocery shopping in your house...you, DH or both?
    - Both. He usually does the small trips.

    4. How often do you go to the store?
    - because it's so close I'm there a lot.

    5. Do you organize your list?
    - I do but I always forget to put something on my list, which is why I'm there so often.

    I always go to Acme. I've tried going elsewhere, but I hate all the stores near me.

    2. Coupons...yes or no? Yes!

    3. Who does the grocery shopping in your house...you, DH or both? Mostly me. He goes sometimes & then gets mad when I complain that we went way over budget because he's an impulse shopper.

    4. How often do you go to the store? I try for once a week. Depends on whether we've hit Costco or BJs recently, though.

    5. Do you organize your list? We use an app called Cozi. Our lists are organized by stores & we can check them off as we go along while we're in store. We can also update them in real time, so I can see if he's figured out that we forgot something.

    2. Coupons...yes or no? Yes, although J rarely uses them

    3. Who does the grocery shopping in your house...you, DH or both? J goes 99% of the time. I hate grocery shopping.

    4. How often do you go to the store? Weekly, unless we need something we forgot....then he goes on his lunch break or after work

    5. Do you organize your list? Nope. It gets written down in the order I think of it.

    1.Do you always go to the same store?  I use PeaPod and they deliver, always. If I need a thing or two I usually get it at Target or Giant, because it's on my way home 
     2. Coupons...yes or no? I was really good at it for awhile, but the coupons are usually not for items I need.
    3. Who does the grocery shopping in your house...you, DH or both? I am pretty sure Nolan acts like a total idiot whenever we go together JUST so he doesn't have to go...I'm pretty sure the last time I took him was the time he left the cart at the front of the store and walked to the meat counter- my purse was in the cart. 
     4. How often do you go to the store? I do delivery every 2 weeks. I usually have to run and get product another time in that 2 weeks. 
     5. Do you organize your list? My list is organized by meal

  • 1.Do you always go to the same store? Or do you pick one based on sales, like me?  When we lived in Pike Creek, I usually went to Shop Rite. Like Erin, I think the store itself is gross but it was so much cheaper than Acme. If I needed something quick, I would just go to Acme since it was closer. Now that we're down here, I'll either go to Walmart or Super G. I like the meat selection at the Amish Farmer's Market though and the produce at Willey's.

    2. Coupons...yes or no?  Yes. I used to be the queen of coupons. If I didn't have a coupon and it wasn't on sale, we didn't get it.

    3. Who does the grocery shopping in your house...you, DH or both? Me. Even if I make a list, DH will call me 80 times with questions from the store. The ONE time that I sent DH without a list, he came home with 8 Hungry Man dinners, a bag of Doritos, and a case of Redbull.

    4. How often do you go to the store? Usually once a week. Sometimes less if I had just went to BJ's.

    5. Do you organize your list? Yes. By where it is in the store.

  • 1.Do you always go to the same store? Or do you pick one based on sales, like me? Usually based on sales

    2. Coupons...yes or no? Not really. I try, but most times the store brand is cheaper than national brand and we only get catalina coupons and not often.

    3. Who does the grocery shopping in your house...you, DH or both? DH normally does on his lunch hour. it gives him something to do and it helps him feel like he is doing his part.

    4. How often do you go to the store? Once a week, or if DH is bored at lunch time

    5. Do you organize your list? when DH goes, I organize by section in the store. I also include on the list the menu for the week so he knows that yes, I need the dry mustard for this meal. Dont ignore it!

  • 1.Do you always go to the same store? Or do you pick one based on sales, like me? We switch between Safeway and Walmart.  It depends on our mood and if we want to drive out to safeway, or if we have other things to get at walmart.  It's pretty 50-50

    2. Coupons...yes or no? I have in the past and I need to get back into it.... when i have more energy

    3. Who does the grocery shopping in your house...you, DH or both? We go together on Sundays.  Once in a while Jeff doesn't feel good and I'll go alone.  Every other weekend we get breakfast before so that gets him out of bed.

    4. How often do you go to the store? Once a week.

    5. Do you organize your list? Yea, i have a little notebook for our list and I usually do 4 rows, dairy, reg groceries, produce and house supples/health and beauty.

  • 1.Do you always go to the same store? Or do you pick one based on sales, like me? I typically go to Aldi for bigger shops and to Superfresh for random stuff that I need to pick up. But honestly I’ll stop by any store that’s close to wherever I am if I need something. I’m out in random parts of town all the time.

    2. Coupons...yes or no? the stuff I usually need I can’t find coupons for.

    3. Who does the grocery shopping in your house...you, DH or both? I do. Ben has serious anxiety in grocery stores, and he also always buys a bunch of random crap.

    4. How often do you go to the store? Once a week, sometimes more sometimes less.

    5. Do you organize your list? Negative.

  • 1.Do you always go to the same store? Or do you pick one based on sales, like me?  We are Zingo's shoppers.  Sometimes they might be out of something (or not carry that something in the first place...it's so tiny), so we'll stop at Acme on the way home.

    2. Coupons...yes or no?  Nah

    3. Who does the grocery shopping in your house...you, DH or both?  We go together on Sundays.  We each grab a basket and hit the store commando style.  I sweep the outer edges while he goes up and down the aisles.  We're both comfortable going alone if the other person is busy, though.

    4. How often do you go to the store?  Once a week

    5. Do you organize your list?  Not exactly.  H usually starts it by writing the things that we get each week.  Then we talk about what we want to eat for the week and the ingredients we need get written down by meal.
