Couples that grocery shop together.

-stupid bachelor guy who has never been to a grocery store

Does this category really exist? How does bachelor guy eat if he's never been grocery shopping?

Fast food. I had a roommate that probably went grocery shopping once every couple months. He would eat fast food or order something every night.

Bingo.

It looks like me and UK need to start a Grocery Shoppers' Support Group.

One of these days, my grocery store pet peeves are going to drive me into a coma. You'll find me curled into the fetal position in the cereal aisle. Blood will be trickling out of my ear.

I'll be arrested for assault and battery with a shopping cart before that.

Get rid of the banks in the store, while I'm at it. Unless there's not a bank within 10 miles, why would you subject yourself to that displeasure of having to go into the store to go to a bank, or cut your hair, etc? There's a pizza place inside the store where they make the pizza and then you take it home and put it in the oven. That's basically an unfrozen frozen pizza.

People with too much time on their hands.

I honestly don't understand how people take longer than 10 minutes in a grocery store. I can be in and out without a list with a week's worth of groceries in 5 minutes.

disclaimer: I go at non-peak times and use the self-check out

Ramen Noodles and mustard doesn't take long to pick up.

I was just about to make this exact same joke.

Ouch. Seriously though, last trip:

lettuce , tomato, chicken, oranges, squash, a couple of muffins because I was weak, wheat thins and triscuit-like generics.

in. out. 5 minutes, including check out. What else does one person need for a week?

My next trip will be something along the lines of:

tomato, cabbage, leeks, potatoes, onions, milk, a fruit, eggs.

Shop at Aldi, man. These things don't exist. The place is just full of crazies and Richie Allen. The last time I went to the one on Grand, I got to witness a fight outside the front door. Pretty cool.

The Aldi by me (Round lake, IL) is foul. I question how sanitary it is inside the store, it reminds me of some the grocery stores in Chinatown (Chicago). I have no idea how anyone would eat that live seafood from there.

Doesn't constant take out get expensive? Take out is more fun when it's a special treat.

We have a brand spanking new Aldi by us and it took me about 1 minute in the store to realize that I'm not shopping there for the same reason. It just didn't look clean, which is hard to pull off when the store is like 2 weeks old.

I'm sure, and I agree.

Yeah, but not too bad. There are a lot of cheap options and often an order will last for two meals. It got very boring though. I'm trying to get back into buying groceries.

The canned and boxed stuff is pretty safe, and the frozen non-meats are okay, but yeah, stay away from the meat, fish, fruit and veggies.

Before I started eating healthy I would get take out/fast food 4-5 days a week. Yup, expensive, but when you don't follow your finances closely, you might not notice it. Dollar menu helps there. And it totally is better when its a treat.

I don't buy any meat or produce there. Just frozen and canned/jarred foods. Can't get dirty inside the can or frozen bag.

Dude, are you kidding me? I don't eat like a rabbit.

One thing I don't like to do it constantly go to the grocery store. If I did what you did I'd be at the store every other day picking up something I need to make a meal.

Normally when we go, we'll typically be out of most things so its a fairly large purchase at the store. We typically go once every 2 to 2 1/2 weeks.
