Grocery shopping

It's Sunday. Husband's off to work. No vege in the fridge. Well, if you count lengkuas, kunyit hidup & a sweet potato as vege, then I'll say there're not enough vege in the fridge :)

Benci benciiii. I had to do grocery shopping by myself. DH won't be home until late at night and the shops will close at 5pm today. Ugh. I hate thinking about carrying heavy load for 1km from the store back home. 1km is not that far, but when both hands are full with heavy plastic bags, it does feel like an agonizing 5km walk.

What to do? Make the shortest shopping list - only aim for the items you need badly. I mean, really really important items. The others? Shove them down in another list for the husband to execute tomorrow :P

The list on a torn up bank statement envelope

Ahh. The things I carried home. Not so bad this time

See? The only heavy things are the milk & carrots. Usually I'd take 1kg carrots & 6 tomatoes, but today I settled for less - to reduce the total grocery weight. And I must say I did quite well, considering I brought home only 1 thing that's not on the list - a packet of grated cheese

If you wonder how much do all that cost, the total is 18.78 pounds (about RM 91.44). I have no idea if that's comparable to shopping at Jusco or not

Mission accomplished!! :D

*Updated*

A wonderful friend has helped to investigate the price of those items in Malaysia. Check out her post here :)

KOG - nak tau kalau beli barang2 yang sama di Jusco, berapa total RM nye. Agak2 lebih kurang nilainya ke tidak..

Kak Lia - dah alang2 menyusahkan diri ke sana, maximize your minimum capacity lah jawabnyaa :p
