Slow or fast in a grocery store

**homesteadmamma** · 12-11-2002, 11:15 PM

How long does it take to do your grocery shopping?

I enjoy walking up and down the isles because usually I'm by myself. Has long as it isn't crowded I usually take a good 3/4 hr. to get my groceries. If its crowded I get in there and out as fast as I can.

You?

If I have a boxful of coupons, it has taken me up to 2 hours!

If it is just me, slow-I like to take my time and look. If I have dks or dh with me I move as quickly as possible!!!!!

I like to take my time and look for the good deals using my coupons so about an hour or so

**Mumbose** · 12-12-2002, 12:59 AM

If I have the kids, then I just grab the essentials.
When alone, I take my time - use coupons and look for deals.
If with DH - I don't dare enter the store LOL

I'm getting quicker, but I still take time to check out all the items for the best deal, also check my coupons. I'f i'm getting a few things i'm in and out.

I takes me a long time too. Maybe a hour to hour and a half. I'm only shopping for two, but I will stand there and try and figure out what is a better deal. Takes me a while as I usually leave my calculator in the car!

**bamamomto4** · 12-12-2002, 09:23 AM

I like taking my time to. I would say at least 2 hours.Maybe not quiet as long if dh and kids are with me.
Gotta look at all the clearance isle

**bmiltimore** · 12-12-2002, 10:22 AM

I usually take about 1-2 hours. I like to go up and down every isle and shop for the best deals. Now that I use coupons, I take a lot longer but I save a lot.

I really enjoy grocery shopping. I always go alone and just enjoy it.

About an hour to do a full shop!

**summercat** · 12-12-2002, 02:23 PM

It takes about 30min to an hour for me. I only shop for myself now & none of my stores double & I always know in advance what I'm buying since I have them online plus I get the sales paper in the mail before I go.

It depends if the kids are with me and where I'm at.Most of the times when the kids are with me I fly threw there cause well cannon likes to jump from carts.And if its just me I've been known to take 4 hrs in a grocery store.(hey isn't that what you are supposed to do when you finally have time to yourself,take advantage of it.)But now that kroger has a new buggie that looks like a car with stearing wheels we were in there longer cause cannon was still the whole time.They need more of those things

We don't have any double coupon stores so I can get in and out of the store in a jiffy. I always have my list of loss leaders and coupons with me (prepared the night before of course) and get in and out as quickly as possible.

**Sara Noel** · 12-12-2002, 03:35 PM

I am not one for the grocery store. If I am in the mood, I'll take my time, but normally I want to go in and out as fast as I can without looking like I am running. LMAO.
There are times I don't mind taking my time, but the store is huge and always packed. It's a nightmare unless I go at midnight.
