Food Shopping

[Sampink30]

Something strange is been happening to me and I wanted to know if anyone else does this.

When I go food shopping now if I do drag myself to go do it I panic and I can't do it sometimes I get half way round and have to abandon it totally

This then ends up in stupid take away food and junk food grabbing I don't really understand this never happened before I used to actually enjoy the weekly food shop , now I can't stand it

I understand how you feel. I do most of my shopping online now. It means I can take as long as I need (I usually take days to do it, I often fill and empty the online basket!), I'm not tempted by junk food etc and it just takes all the stress away. Plus no heavy bags to carry!

What is it that bothers you with food shopping? Is it meal planning or not wanting to cook?

I shopped only online for years until I had to save money when hubby got laid off (all shopping, not just food). Pre planning my menus, creating a shopping list and refusing to go down certain aisles really helped. Having him with me to keep focused on the list helped too - but if he started talking about "perhaps we could have such and such instead" I was near to a mental breakdown.
I have not a clue where this comes from but I completely empathise xx
