    I am REALLY bad at meal planning but trying to be better. It sounds like our grocery shopping styles are really similar. I just love it. I love finding new products and seriously consider grocery shopping a fun activity.

      I’m glad I’m not the only one! πŸ˜‰

    I am definitely addicted to grocery shopping. πŸ˜€ Kudos to you for making a dent in the pantry! I do that occasionally and it’s amazing how…accomplished…it makes you feel. πŸ˜€ Keep it up!

    I am hopelessly addicted to grocery shopping! There are just so many wonderful products out there that I want to try!

      Yay! Validation. I am glad there are lots of people out there who like it too.

    Well of course you need waffle mix!!!!

    I went to Costco the other day and had to renew our membership since I hadn’t been since July. Whoot! We’ve done way better eating through what we have though our freezer is full right now (from said Costco run. Lots of chicken and steak). I do love Cash and Carry for sugar-free syrups, and they’re great when I’m on my celery/cucumber juicing kick.

    I should meal plan but I don’t. I just make sure we have the components in the fridge and then we just put together whatever we’re in the mood for.

      We’re that way too. We go by our whims instead of meal planning.

    I confess, I am a grocery shopaholic also…to the point where our freezer simply didn’t hold enough and we bought one of those small stand alone freezers. Sadly it’s always overflowing too!

    I also haven’t meal planned for years. I used to when we were on a really strict budget, then I got lazy and every day we’d just decide what we wanted and go get it.

    I actually meal planned for this week and did the groceries on Monday. So far it’s made me realize just how many things I buy on a whim *blush*.

      Ooooh an extra freezer! If we had room in our garage I’d love to get one. But maybe it would be a bad thing!

    I myself also LOVE grocery shopping purely because I get to go out of the home. I don’t buy clothes or shoes or whatever else every month, so the grocery shopping still my addiction to shopping πŸ™‚

    I don’t meal plan, but I don’t have children & my husband doesn’t have a regular work schedule.. We’re the odd couple I guess.
    It’s good to get the grocery budget in check though, I find a lot of food goes to waste around my house.
