Have you ever left groceries unput away?

Please tell me i am not alone.

I often leave non parishables not put away til but either piled in bags or neatly stacked til i can get to putting them away.

Anyone else do this?

I do. I go to the store, lug everything home and carry it into the house. Isn't that enough? lol

The only time I do is if there is no room in the pantry and I leave them in a box slidden under the breakfast bar .lol Mostly just canned goods.

I used to do this but accidentally left some perishable items in and had to throw away. Also the heat is too hot in the car. One time I left a bunch of Pop(coke) in the car. It got to hot and exploded all over my van.LOL So now I do not leave anything in the car.

Oh yes I've done this and also had to throw out some "forgotten" meats...now I do try to put everything away as soon as I can...notice I said try?

I understand!

And to the OP, yes I do. During the school year, I'll leave non-perishables in their bags next to the pantry and have the kids put them away.

Today we're going grocery shopping (gulp--with the two of them?? :fainter: ), and I'll have them lug the bags in AND help put away.

No, it would drive me crazy. I have to put everything away as soon as I get home. lol

I have left the non-perishables out over night before. Usually on the table and out of the bags but only when I need to make room in the cabinets and I'm too pooped to do it right then and there.

Not usually. If I do, it's only because I have other errands to run that day. So I'll bring the groceries home, put away the parishables, unpack the non-parishables and leave them on the table until I get back. Then I put them away. They never sit in bags or on the table for longer than an hour or two. My kitchen is not conducive to clutter lol.

Yep, I have...but dh always comes behind me and finds room for them

**santoria** · 07-09-2008, 09:52 AM

yep....sometimes I just can't get it all down the stairs to the store room...it sits at the top and my youngest plays a stacking game. :laughs: until she throws a can of something down at which point I take it all down.

I do it all the time. My pantry is in the basement, lots of times I have the kids carry it down and I put it away when I get to it (if i get to it lol).

**cissylu** · 07-09-2008, 10:39 AM

I do this also ,then when the boy`sget or dh they get them out of car and put away.

**The Muse** · 07-09-2008, 10:55 AM

I can't stand clutter so everything is put away as soon as I get it home otherwise it stresses me out.

**Amanda W** · 07-09-2008, 10:56 AM

I put away stuff that goes in the kitchen right after I get home. For things that are going in the storeroom in the basement, I usually leave by the stairs and get them on my next trip downstairs.
