Every year, I saw people in the malls on December 23, rushing around and cursing under their breath because they didn’t have any ideas of what to get their husbands/wives/kids/parents, and the stores were sold out of every feasible idea. If you can help it, week nights are the best time to go grocery shopping.

My husband paid his entire way through undergrad and my parents covered a significant portion, so we come from both angles and our strategy is a compromise. However, I will re-focus on my meal planning/grocery shopping routine to try to get this number down. My spending was bound to increase as my girls got older.

You wouldn’t drive a luxury vehicle to your parent’s house at Christmas for four hours in the snow. You wouldn’t want to take a luxury car to a routine Sunday grocery shopping trip. They are purely a status symbol, and they limit you, as well.

Don’t blame your spouse, the economy, your parents or your job. You shop to release stress, to be someone else, to escape. Send your spouse to do the grocery shopping. When you do need something, shop with a friend that won’t let you go overboard. You know getting a second mortgage is a bad idea.

I think that some men could also be a bit angry at being asked (or expected) to take on more of the home front – cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping and childcare. In a world which favors mind over matter, we don’t need to choose between a matriarchal or patriarchal society.

Grocery Shopping (Only Online). Shopping for groceries can be overwhelming even for adults. If you have the skills to do it, you might show your child how. While it may be easier to do it on your own, teaching your child these skills may help them do their own repairs one day.

You pick the recipes and they pack all of the ingredients into a box and ship it to your door, effectively eliminating grocery shopping. A weekly meal service would be helpful for the stay-at-home parent of young children who would like to avoid going to the grocery store with said young children and still have a high quality dinner.

You have to cook, clean, shop for groceries, shuttle little ones to all their activities, check homework, meet with teachers, plan birthdays, do laundry and pack lunches. I listed all the ways it can help busy parents but NeedTo.com works for more than household chores. Employers only pay when the task is completed.
