They had 3 ales on, all 4%. One was Harvey's Sussex Best, but I didn't have that as I can get it at my local. The others were mumble mumble... something... Tasty and well kept anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Supermarket shop day! Cheers me up in two ways: 1 - I don’t get involved, it does not fall within my duties, it’s all done by the time I get home. 2 - Lots of goodies in the cupboards and the fridge and a world of possibilities as to what I might cook tonight and whether there will be some fancy pants dessert.

How can you do the cooking if you don't get involved with the shopping? We are a mirror image of you - she cooks, I shop. But there is no 'world of possibilities' - she plans the week's menus with military precision, and gives me a very detailed shopping list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good mix of standards and randoms. There will always be some chicken, but it might be a whole chicken or some thoughts or some breast. That might mean I make a curry, or a traditional roast, or something creamy with rice. I’ve got a decent stock of herbs and spices and whatnot so easy enough to knock up a white sauce if a chilli or a crispy spicy coating. As it happens, tonight, we went black pudding, fried egg, tomato, and veggie sausages. Oh yes, black pudding and veggie sausages, that’s how we roll. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Nevermind the sacrilege of the veggie sausage and blood sausage, the real problem here is that you're having breakfast for dinner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bickster Posted January 6, 2022 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2022 It is also a supermarket shop day here. I was sent a photo of a written list A miracle occured in that I was able to read everything, obtain everything with no need for substitutes and didn't miss anything out because of the random ordering of the list and it was a two shop list too I was especially pleased with the get your own tea. Microwave Curry it is then, she was being kind because she knows that there's absolutely no way I'd like a chicken salad in this weather. I have to do the shopping because she doesn't drive, when she comes its an absolute nightmare, takes years off me with the pissing about walking across the shop three times and looking at stuff that isn't required. She does most of the cooking because she likes her own cooking (someone has to) 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakfast for dinner makes a nice treat. Waffles/pancakes with sausages or bacon is great in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Posted January 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 6, 2022 Umm, online grocery delivery? Might take you ten minutes, longer the first time I suppose. Pay a fiver or so for the delivery itself. Versus, what, an hour, plus petrol, parking and people? No competition for me. YMMV. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously, she mostly developed the list and one of us would do the shopping. Now that she's used to it, I don't know if we'll ever go back. She likes being able to do the shopping any time she likes and not have to worry about finding time to go out. I'm perfectly happy to largely escape the trips to the supermarket. 47 minutes ago, mjmooney said: MMV. I don't trust the **** ers to get it right. And I like an impulse buy. This is the obvious downside. Some Instacart shoppers are good and others are a bit thick. I can usually tell which kind we got but how frequently I hear my wife's phone alert with a text from a shopper because it usually means they have questions or want to substitute something. We once got exactly 2 brussels sprouts, and we've been told the store doesn't have basic items that we know for a fact that they have and have never run out of. It can also be a bit of a gamble with produce. On the impulse buying front, I occasionally like that as well, but it definitely saves money to do it online.
