Previously I wrote a vicious blog about my strong distaste for grocery shopping.
Tonight I changed my mind.
I feel like I've found the key to a treasure chest. Luckily I'm very generous and will share my secret with you all.
Go to the grocery store at 930 PM.
I can't believe it took me this long to figure it out.
If you shop late at night you avoid the stay-at-home moms and all their little rug-rats. (Though I realize I will be in their shoes in a few years so I'm not complaining. My point is they use really large carts, usually in the shape of a car or firetruck of something very hard to manoeuvre around). You also miss the 5-7 PM rush from all the business professionals grabbing items for dinner on their way home from work. Tonight, the only other people in the store with me were employees doing their grocery shopping. They are very sneaky but I am on to them!

The Dreaded
I know I whine and complain every single time I have to go but it's not getting any better and I'm wondering if it ever will...
grocery shopping.
It's just unpleasant. Not fun. Time consuming. And frustrating most of the time. And, after watching Food Inc. (a must see for everyone) and going mostly organic, I am really grossed out by all the frozen, packaged, and processed food at the grocery store.
The one perk of living in Chicago by my sister is that we endure the misery of this domestic task together. Like today, we hit up every grocery store in the city until our lists were completed and so we don't have to go for another two weeks-four weeks.
On a positive note, at least our fruit bowl is filled with bright orange clementines, yellow bananas, lemons and limes, creating a beautiful splash of color on our island.
