What does grocery shopping look like for you?

Like what do you buy, costs, etc?

I’m curious. Mostly to see how location and diet influences costs.

I’m a vegetarian that currently lives in Pennsylvania.

This week I purchased cherries as my fruit. I didn’t realize they cost $16 here. I was living in NJ and never seen cherries cost that much. I didn’t check the price when shopping… so I just ate the cost lol but that’s out of the ordinary for me.

I aim to get at least one type of fruit to last me all week. Unless I want smoothies, but not this week.

Baby carrots, hummus, potatoes, eggs, sriracha, and ramen (I’ve been watching Naruto).

So my total was around $55

Spouse is on an extended vacation in Asia so me and my kid are doing the shopping.

So far (6 weeks) we have stuck to the regimen of meal planning around what is on sale in the weekly grocery flyers.... Supplemented by what we find in the pantry and freezer.

Working well so far... fruit is whatever is in season (strawberries/apples/peaches right now). And yogurt of course. Meat is whatever is on sale or in the freezer. We are eating good though...nothing too crazy.... spending about 50 each week including Taco Tuesday's damages at the local Mexican place.

Luckily the area I live in has a ton of grocery choices... hence a ton of sales (like 6 ears of corn for $1 today and strawberries at 57 cents a pound)....
