Grocery Shopping Is Torture
I hate grocery shopping. To me, grocery shopping is pure torture. Not only are the prices out-freakin'-rageous these days but I also have to painstakingly read every ingredient on each item to see whether or not Big Boy Picasso (the 4 yr. old) is allergic to it. Did I mention that 99% of the time I have to put back the item that I pick up? Dealing with food allergies on a daily basis is not easy. Sure, there are worse things. Things could be way worse. I know that. However, if you walked one day in my shoes then you'd get it. You'd understand the frustration. Just try to buy cheese that doesn't actually have cheese or soy or corn in it then come back here and tell me how well that went. You'd quickly start to hate grocery shopping just as much as I do now.
What's weird though is that I have begun to really like cooking. I've been baking bread, making allergy-free cakes, and coming up with new recipes. If only I had more free time in my day then maybe those recipes would be tastier.
I guess you take the good with the bad right?
* I also wanted to shamelessly promote all of these cool contests we have going on over at A Mom's Review and Contest for Moms this week!

I can see how grocery shopping would be torture for you. I would not want to be in your shoes. It's a little therapeutic for me. Of course, that is as long as I am a) alone and b) shopping at some godawful hour when nobody else is.
I agree. I am lactose intolerant and gluten sensitive, which makes shopping a chore. But it's my fellow customers that really annoy me.
Dads, don't let your toddler run free.
Old people, the label on the can reads exactly the way it did last week so speed it up a LITTLE.
Cellphone users, talk off to the side and not in mid-aisle.
Fat people, well, GET SLIM!
Wegman's is the best but Targetis coming up fast. Wide aisles in Target!!
