Grocery Shopping Without A List

You guys…

I went grocery shopping without a list!

I neeeever do that anymore. I always have a list even if it’s just a short one or one that I’m repeating over and over in my head. Basically I always have a plan.

But this time I went to Kroger (local grocery store) without a plan. It ended up costing me more than I should have spent and wasn’t very thorough. I did buy a few things that will last the whole two months I’m here so that’s something.

Here’s what I got (the roomie’s leopard cat checking it all out):

ground turkey breastsliced deli turkeysalmon (in the packs, not cans)tunawhole wheat breadapplesstrawberriesbaby carrotsorganic baby greensnatural peanut butterKashi Go Lean cerealalmond milkluna and cliff barsred hot blue corn chipsketchup, light mayo, mustard, salad dressing

I’m probably mostly going to make myself salads and sandwiches (or turkey burgers) while I’m here because it seems like too much work to cook just for myself. It’s just easier, though I might change my mind later if I get the urge to make awesome meals since there is actual space in the kitchen.

It wasn’t a bad haul for shopping without a list. No clue how long that will last me but it should be good for more than a week. I’m also probably going to eat out quite a bit while I’m here. I already have actually! Saturday I had chicken fajitas from which I skipped the tortillas and brought half home for lunch the next day. Then today I had a salad and a single chicken enchilada with refried beans. I love Mexican food so I tried to keep it reasonable while still indulging in my favorite things.

Eating out here seems so inexpensive to me now that it doesn’t seem like such a big deal. That could probably get me into trouble fast so I’ll try to keep it in check.

And I’ll make a list for my next trip to Kroger. Having a plan works way better for me!

Do you grocery shop with a list or without one?
