Hey Sheila, you should see if Peapod is in your area. The selection isn't
truly fantastic, smile I still have to get some items but... it might be
worth trying for, that way you can get at least the frozen stuff and other
large items delivered to you
www.peapod.com
I love it, I get it here in Revere. Get my sodas, my milk, my laundry stuff
and frozen foods, and they come fresh and frozen for me, so I don't have to
worry, got frozen yogurt last time and it was, gasp still frozen, when i got
home.
Smile.

Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

I shop at the most expensive place, because that is where they are
definitely willing to go around with me and help. I am new to my area
and don't have family or long term friendships to call on to help out
with such things. So I pay the big bucks at the Brookside Market where
they are willing to assist me with shopping. Even so, I have to work up
my energy for shopping, because it takes a lot out of me to walk around
the market with some young employee I have to prompt, coach and
entertain for forty-five minutes or so. The worst is when you end up
with someone who can't read very well. Because the store is so far away,
I usually have to buy a lot when I finally get around to going. I really
miss living in LA where I could just walk to Trader Joe's and bother
them for a day or two's worth of groceries at a time and purchase truly
yummy fresh items.

Karen, that's a very sensible and useful way to set up your shopping
list.
I'd not thought of that. How nice it is to share ideas.
We are not so fortunate to have assistance to help with actual shopping,
staff are few and far between, but they will help with a few items if
needed, but not to go around the store with us. I'm way past being able
to
get around the aisles and find things. Today I brought home carrot soup
instead of milk lol. It seems we can now buy soup in cardboard cartons
and
it's conveniently stored in the dairy section. Well the soup tasted nice
anyway, but not in the cup of tea.
Regards to you and Met. Valerie

Both the stores where I shop have layouts of where
things are for the most part. I get them and scan them
and create a default list on my computer to work off
of which shows aisle numbers where things I regularly
want would be.
Some things I can find myself still- others I ask for
help either from shoppers in the aisle or a store
employee. I have found there is usually not a shortage
of people willing to help Met and I (smile)
Winco does not tend to do a lot of moving around of
stuff which is really great. Safeway does some but
most of what they move is not stuff I have a lot of
need for. I do recall a couple years back when they
moved stuff and I mean just about everything except
the meat and produce- and even the meat department
they moved some. I about came out of my skin! There is
a really neat worker there that has always tried to
help or offered to help me ever since I moved here so
I have never had to sit back and get frustrated unless
the store is crowded. I generally shop early in the
morning when there is not a lot of shoppers also which
does help I believe in being able to get appropriate
help.
