[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My grocery shopping is out of control. I make so many stops and get so many deliveries. How many stores do you shop at and how often. Here is my breakdown.

Costco: once per week. Trying to reduce to every other.

Farm stands: at least one per week. I have two regulars.

Butcher: every other week.

Bread store: there are two but I average probably six stops per month total.

$$$ grocery store: there are two that I frequent, 1-2 stops per week.

$ grocery store: three total, I think 1-2 stops per week.

Pet food store: I really need to get this one sorted but I go every week.

I cannot bring myself to spend the same amount of money on bad bread at the grocery store when I can get delicious fancy bread at the bread store. I’m not willing to spend three times as much on canned beans at the $$$ store so I have to stop at the $ store. I cannot bring myself to buy imported tasteless produce when the farm is 20 minutes away.

I have two kids, a husband, two cats with different diets, a dog and a full time job. How do I get this under control? Is everyone like this?

No, not everyone is like this! I'm amazed thst you have time for all this.

Here's a suggestion:
--Order pet food online 
-- Costco every other week
--One farmers market a week 
--One grocery store a week. Yes, just one, once. You could go to the expensive one one week and the cheap one the next.
--Bread store once a week.
--Butcher every other week.

Keep better lists of what you actually need. This may involve having to write up menu plans. It sounds like this is the problem.

Good luck!
