1. You load up your cart with boxes, bags, and sundries, while hideous music plays overhead.
2. You unload everything at the checkout counter and always spend $50 more than you meant to.
3. Then if, heaven forbid, you use the self-checkout, you then have to load everything BACK into your cart yourself.
3. You then unload your cart (again) into the trunk of your car.
4. You then unload your trunk and carry everything into your kitchen.
5. And finally, you unload the individual bags into your cupboards (or pantry, for you lucky devils), only to repeat the process 7 days later.
Could anything be more inefficient?
I dream of the days when we can beam everything Star-Trek style directly into the refrigerator.
I do have a vegetable garden, which helps, but it's only useful 3 months of the year.
What are your thoughts on grocery shopping?
p.s. Is anyone clear on why the term "home farming" has caught on? What was wrong with "gardening"? Is it because gardening is something old people with funny hats do, while home farming is something young hipsters with $70 haircuts do? I was just wondering.
