@Karla_VBF This is exactly why my wife choose to do Hello Fresh. She was very happy with it for last 3 years, until earlier this month the delivery company they use failed and she had to scramble to Publix and plan meals
Grocery shopping. I don't know which part is worse:
Planning what to buy
The dread of going
Being in the grocery store for over an hour
The sticker shock when you see the total on the register
Carrying the bags from the car to the kitchen
Putting everything where it belongs.
Then you stand there, wondering what you're going to eat for dinner.
This is a task I need to outsource. How about you?

We're in a restaurant bubble
To now the point where going out to eat doesn't even make sense anymore.
Just last week...
PANERA: Family of 6 (4 young kids) - 6 entrees & 6 drinks was $73.
LOCAL GRILL: 6 entrees, 2 waters & 4 kid drinks - $78 (they also charged me a surprise 3% fee for using a CC)
Effing iHOP: 2 bfast sandwiches, 4 plates of kids pancakes, 4 chocolate milks - $60 lol (doesn't a pancake cost $0.10 to make)
Even Chick Fil A is $55+ for each trip.
We used to eat out 5-10x per week... now it's just not worth it.
As credit card bills mount in America, I expect many restaurants at these prices will get desserted (pun intended)
Already happening in small biz retail starting last year.
Restaurants next.
