Question of the Day

Suggested by Shaker Charlie: "What do you always pick up when getting groceries?"

Any staples I can get in bigger packages — paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, fizzy drinks, canned cat and dog food, coffee, anything else that won't quickly go off — I do, so those tend to last longer than a week, which is how often I do grocery shopping.

So in terms of things I always get when I'm shopping, it's just whatever fresh food we're going to need for the week plus whatever sundries from the above list of which we've run out.

And that tends to change from week to week, and season to season. In hot months, I tend to get more salad type (to eat raw/cold) stuff, and, in cold months, more stew type (to be cooked/eaten hot) stuff.
