… you have to move your shopping items from the time you pick them at the shelves until you place them in the fridge or in the pantry?

Well, let’s count it:

From the shelf to the shopping cart or basket – 1

From the cart to the check-out counter – 2

From the check-out counter to the bag and back to the cart – 3

From the cart to the trunk of your car – 4

From the trunk to the cart of your building if you live in a condo – 5

* Then wait for the elevator and take the cart back before someone complains.

From the cart to the table or counter (or the floor, in some cases) – 6

From the table or counter to the fridge or pantry – 7

Seven times! Depending on the amount you buy or the help you have! (Let me know if I miss any step)

And you haven’t even eaten them yet! Much less prepared them (which deserves another post)!

Isn’t that amazing?

Make sure you don’t let your food spoil or there will be another trip: to the garbage!

PS: Every time you think it’s expensive it is to eat out at restaurants, think about this.
