Nah, it’s a benefit. You need to store less, less goes to waste because it’s easier to see everything. You can buy fresher things that spoil quickly because you’re going to eat them right away.

The trick is that you pick stuff up “on your way home”, you aren’t making extra dedicated trips. Not hard to supplement with grocery deliveries these days either.

When I think back to the weekly grocery shopping I did with my parents as a kid? Those huge carts full of food, having to cover the entire store, then hauling it amd packing it in the car, then all the unpacking and organizing sorting and storing some of it in the main fridge and some in the backup fridge some in the pantry … to me that seems like way more hassle than speading the work out.

I have kids, tried different systems, more and smaller trips works for us. Probably it’s one of those things that everyone works out differently

Storing things either in the pantry or the freezer (meats/butter/etc) is the only way to take advantage of sales. Plus, it's smart emergency preparedness to have a week or two's worth of food in your house.

Nah, it's not a benefit. Believe me, I've tried it your way. I see no value in spreading the hassle out.

It takes me approximately 8 minutes to go roundtrip to the closest grocery store to me. 5 minutes if I can get what I need at a bodega-y place (so no produce, but still milk and snackfood).

What about that is a hassle?

You need fresh produce

[joshuamorton]

Right, fresh produce is 4 minutes away, not 2.
