Grocery shopping is easy, getting all that poo poo home can be a hassle. Only time I regret not having a car (that, and when moving). I can kind of see the appeal of home delivery for that reason.

Yeah, we've started doing all our heavy stuff as delivery once a month. Google express has Costco. We do our Costco shopping once a month and get it delivered.

He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.
My main issue grocery shopping is that I live alone so I need to pay attention to use by dates (yes, I can taste the difference when past the date) to make sure I can finish it before it expires, like a loaf of bread has to have a date 4 days after I buy it, unless I'm using it on the day of purchase in which case it only needs to last the next 3 days. Similarly milk - sometimes I have a little left over that I can't use in time, so I need to be careful there too.

It's just my wife and I and Costco owns but essentially what we do is buy a bunch of stuff and then share it around with our neighbors and family. Like hell yeah killer deal on 3 pounds of fresh, washed and ready-to-use broccoli for 5 bucks but there are limits to two people.

Probably fresh-bakery bread, that lasts *maybe* two days for us. Usually we freeze what we don't eat and defrost as needed.

That's a lot of bread to eat through in 4 days, though. We don't even buy bread if the date isn't a week in the future.

I mean yeah, everyone I knew was in Foster Care, and I grew up in Foster Care. Most "care givers" just collect a paycheck, there is no "life skills training" That's not what they're being paid for, they're being paid to feed and house you until you're 18, fullstop.

That sucks balls. I understand foster care is sometimes better than the alternative but if you become a carer you're taking responsibility for helping a child become an adult.

I just keep regular bread in the fridge, it lasts long enough for me to eat it that way. I usually toast it anyway, so it's not like I really notice.

But yeah, if I buy a fresh baguette or something, that fucker better be gone in 2 days or it's terrible, I end up giving it to the dogs.

Putting bread in the fridge makes it go stale faster because something something starch.

It doesn't though? Like I suppose it's preserved in the sense of not molding but it certainly goes stale sooner when you refrigerate it. Freeze it then defrost it as you need.

Portuguese migas: just crumble up your hard dry bread, sprinkle some water or cheap wine on it to soften, and fry it in a pan with garlic, greens, and pork.
