Annoying Conversation #39: “I’m Going Food Shopping (At 5 Different Stores)!”

What’s the prime number for food shopping?

By which I mean:

What’s the fewest number of stores you can possibly go to and get everything you need?

Most weeks, I go to at least 3 stores. Some weeks, it’s 5. If I throw in a specialty store (liquor, bakery, drug store), it’s upwards of 7.

Now you do the math….

    And here I thought I had my own unique shopping algorithm. My husband and I listened to this and it was EXACTLY a conversation we had a couple of months ago. Now when I tell him “tomorrow is my “shopping” day” we both start laughing uncontrollably of your great video.

    OK – I love you! I have shared your annoying conversations with so many of my friends – (actual friends, not facebook “friends”)… My shopping days-long expeditions involve Trader Joe’s, Grocery Outlet, Haggen’s (Whole Paycheck stand-in), Costco, and the market with the loss-leader coupons, just for the coupon items. So – 5 – and of course, any other specialty stores as needed, (the Asian market for produce only they have, etc.) Yep, you get it, and you have brought cheer and laughter to all of us! THANKS!!!

    I don’t know if my last comment went through. I just wanted to let you know that I think your site is awesome. I got a link from a friend, and I can’t wait to share it with my friends.
