Remember when I said my regular grocery store was closed for remodeling? And that I was kind of rotating through four other close-ish locations for my grocery shopping trips? Well, now one of the kiddos has something for an hour every Monday, and I'm going to the same grocery store location every week while he's doing that. It doesn't make sense for me to go home in between, so I drive another few miles down the road to the grocery store.

I'm getting to know that store's layout pretty well.
The thing is, it takes about 15 minutes, depending on traffic and traffic lights, to get from where I'm dropping off the kiddo to the grocery store. And then, of course, it takes another 15 minutes, depending on traffic, to get back. So I've got a maximum of 30 minutes to park, obtain a cart, grab the groceries, pay for them, pack them up, put them in my vehicle, return my cart, and return to my vehicle. Which is fine. It's a small store, so I can totally do it.
It just feels like every week, it's getting closer and closer. The first week, I got back with about 15 minutes to spare; today it was about two. I'm not sure I'm liking this trend.
Way back in April, I asked one of the team members at my store when they'd be reopening, and they told me August, so it should be open, and I should be back learning the new store layout, soon.
In the meantime, we continue to eat. Here's what's on the menu this week:
- Bowtie pasta with Italian sausage and cream sauce, broccoli
- Tacos
- Biscuit chicken pot pie
- Fend for yourself/mystery shop
- Pizza casserole, green beans
- Out to eat
- Grilled chicken, salad
- Granola
- Dipped pretzel rods
- Boston cream donuts
