This gets a stick.

I'm the guy who usually goes out for groceries at 3 in the morning. Luckily there is a 24-hour supermarket just across the road. I'll probably come back with some bread, salmon, apples, bananas, soy milk and dark chocolate.

Anyway hope everyone's doing well, and stay safe. :)

OhHhHH....I actually miss retail shopping, so this thread brings me a lot of joy. I pretty much never online shop, but recently I caved since I miss looking at clothes and accessories irl, lol.

I have a Celine mini belt bag in Light Taupe, and a Celine nano belt bag in Amazone on the way. I am very excited. I also hope that the color of the mini is the tan that I'm expecting, since online there are photos for a dark tan and a light tan, and I really hope it's the dark tan color.

I'm also running low on perishable groceries, so I'm looking forward to talking a walk outside and using a grocery run as an excuse, since while Amazon prime members get free delivery from Whole Foods, I hear that all the delivery time slots keep running out, plus their groceries are on the more expensive side.

But in terms of groceries I need to get from Trader Joe's:

- organic French baguette x2
- avocados x2 bags
- naan

What I need from Costco:
- green table grapes

What I eventually need to get from Whole Foods, if I happen to run out:
- Birch benders regular pancake mix (so good! altho if they have them at Target or Trader Joe's, I'll grab a pack from there)

Guys, this thread is so fun! I like talking about what's on my shopping list, and I like seeing what's on other people's shopping lists.

Nubby, you've inspired me to cook my couscous and to purchase some chicken thighs with the skin on, so that I can fry them to a crisp in a pan! It would be a great way for me to use up my frozen vegetables which I can use as a side, too.

What I eventually need to get from Whole Foods, if I happen to run out:
- Birch benders regular pancake mix (so good! altho if they have them at Target or Trader Joe's, I'll grab a pack from there) Just came back from Trader Joe's! I ended up getting the below:

- 2 bags of ready avocados (each bag has 4), 2 bags of unripe avocados
- 2 baguettes (to have as an easy snack during busy work days, which I consume with Australian olive oil + elderberry balsamic vinegar + chopped basil leaves from my basil plant
- 2 bags of naan (to toast in the morning and have with avocado)
- 2 new spices! "Everything but the Elote" and a garlic salt grinder
- Chicken thighs with the skin on and bone in! Fried them up on my cast iron skillet for some deliciously crispy chicken :O

There's this Michelin star restaurant a block from where I live, and they were having a prix-fixe to-go box of delicious fried chicken that was seasoned with MSG (I recognized the flavor). It reignited my love for MSG so I've been trying to find a reasonable substitute until I can procure some myself, lol.

My roommates also got me one of those boxes of green table grapes from Costco, for only $9.99 :D

I bought some wild flower and grass seed last week

Sprayed off the remaining nettles and will rake the ground over sometime in the following week for the flower seeds the grass is for over seeding after scarifying
