What's in Kurtis' Shopping Cart?

Good morning everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying your week! My blog topic for this morning is covering what's in my shopping cart. I have the same issue that Robyn had with her shopping list last week, because I also live at home therefore my parents do most of the shopping. I do go with them and I also do some side shopping to ensure that I have everything that I need. I will give you an overview of what my shopping cart contains and hopefully you will find it interesting!

When I go grocery shopping I usually go to the local No Frills for the main shopping trip, Costco for anything that can be purchased in bulk, and either Metro or Food Basics when I need just a couple things because they're closer to home. Sometimes I check the flyers and if there is a sale elsewhere for something that I usually pick up and the store is not too far away then I will pick it up there. In my opinion No Frills is one of the best grocery stores because there are always good sales on plus my parents have been shopping there for years so were pretty loyal. Costco is great for purchasing snacks and other things in bulk plus my brother always drags me there on the weekends because he wants to try all the samples (I benefit from the samples as well so it's all good). Metro tends to be a bit more expensive for everyday items so I try to keep my purchases from there to a minimum. Food Basics is also really good because they also have a lot of good sales. So that was my bonus grocery store rankings, as you can see I am Team No Frills!

The above list outlines what I pick out when I am grocery shopping. I don't necessarily pick everything on this list up every time I go grocery shopping but it covers my favorite foods to pick up. I try to eat as healthy as possible but I am normal and do indulge from time to time. I try to stay away from soft drinks and sweets because they tend to be expensive, plus their not healthy. 

I hope you enjoyed a glimpse into my life, how I eat, and my shopping cart. If you have any comments or thought please feel free to share! If you would like to share some of your shopping cart ideas with us, please leave it in the comment section. We would be more than happy to hear from you!
