I'm a Luddite, I actually go to the grocery store and look for the price listed, and always get a paper receipt.

I'm 82. I shop on line at Walmart. And they deliver.

But I go to Aldi for meats.

I use an app called Wife. It includes reminders and text notifications.

When a product is “free,” then YOU are the product.

This is all neocon/leftist collaborative spyware. Your calorie, dietary, and ethno-centric (or not) data will be ingested into a DOGE-like machine learning model owned by Planatir.

The resulting Gastronomy Score will be integrated into your Good Citizen Score so Klaus Schwab, the UN, and Mamdami’s handlers can decide if your organs are worth harvesting prior to you becoming Soylent Green.

From not being able to find a perfectly ripe avocado to juggling your list, keys and coffee while simultaneously pushing a cart, it can be a tough task to tackle.

Unless you are going to eat it that night you want slightly unripe avocados, your keys go in your pocket, why are you drinking a coffee while shopping (very unsanitary) and your list should be on a clip board propped up in your cart for ease of use. Have a pen tied to it to mark off what you have gotten.

How is it that people now seem to be incapable of doing basic tasks?

How more pathetic can it become when teaching your kids how to shop at a grocery store is an APP ! I personally wouldn’t trust anyone to shop for my food. When these cell phones first came out I was all in for its communication ability 24/7 no matter where I was. (Was a Contractor in Massachusetts) I could be on a roof in Truro and get contacted...what they have morphed into is an abomination and simple minded people are within its electronic clutches. if they had to do anything manually they would be lost.

And I hand write a shopping list to take with me after reading the ad myself.

At the grocery stores I shop most frequently, I go to each department leader. I always acknowledge them and their efforts. In return, they save special deals, tips, and pricing.

Respect and common courtesy go a long way.

My wife hates to grocery shop and I do most of the cooking so I also do the weekly grocery shopping. I make it a point to study the ads and clip digital coupons online that go on my stores loyalty perks card. My grocery list is compiled with my Alexa device. It is easy to add things I might be running out of by a simple voice command to the device in my kitchen. My list is automatically sent to my phone. Studying the ads for weekly specials and clipping digital coupons saves a lot of money. My favorite grocery also often has three day specials so I plan my shopping accordingly. I believe it is important to have certain staples always on hand , like onions, flour, sugar as well as an array of spices and herbs and plan menus in advance.

Who the hell lives like that? If I need something, I just go out and buy it when I want it or need it. Five to 60 minutes at the most to get anything I might want to buy.

I suppose some locations make this ease impossible, but is it really needed to have an anchor of an app to grocery shop?

Go shopping like a Neanderthal - decide on a thing, find it, buy it, take it home.

This smart phone mania, the need for an “app” to do everything, has almost become a cult.

I use HEB or Kroger click list to order my groceries, then I go the next day, park in the lot and have someone bring the groceries and load them into my truck.

I tip usually around $5.00 - but if my list if over $300, I tip $10.00.
