Grocery Shopping

Buying Eggs
Make a list, put on a daypack, walk a mile, cruise the increasingly familiar aisles, self check-out, use Apple pay, cram as much as possible into the daypack, load the excess into a plastic bag, walk a mile back, and figure out how to fit it all into a small under-the-counter refrigerator. Then repeat every couple of days.

Mike enjoys cooking, and he actually enjoys grocery shopping. Whenever we have traveled outside of the US, he has explored grocery stores. Not sure this can be fully explained. Maybe it is because of  the different variety of food products. Here, as shown in the picture, eggs are shelved and not refrigerated. Cream comes in double and triple strength, so thick it barely pours. Beer is mostly sold as single bottles. And, all four wheels on the grocery carts swivel.
