    I use the loblaws or superstore online grocery orders. With mobility issues it makes it so easy. Order online. Show up, park in the designated spot, call the number on the sign and they come put it in your car. I also love that you can check off that you have your own bags and they come get them and you don't end up with a million plastic bags! I hate chopping onions and don't eat them raw so i buy the no name frozen diced onions and they work like a charm and never go bad since they are kept in the freezer.

    I do delivery groceries too. It has really helped me save time and money. I suppose the potential is there to shop really badly in the moment but I work on my list all week and review things as I go. If I make an impulse choice then I have time to reconsider. I try to be esp disciplined when I am finalizing my order. I also have started a fav list of all the stuff I buy for easy reference. Each week I start there to build my list based on what ran out and what's on sale. I sometimes list different brands or sizes so I can compare the deals.
    Bigger families can save money on this deal. I pay 10 dollars for delivery and I am fine with that but at my store if you go over $125 they deliver free. I think that's a pretty reasonable amount for most fam to spend on groceries...esp easy of you get your toiletries and household goods in the same order.

Really good for days that are too hot or too cold to venture out. And for those of us without cars they deliver to your door on a time or day or your choosing available seven days a week.

    Thanks for reminding me. I have a ton of onions. I'm going to prep them and put them tomorrow and freeze them. I use ziploc snack baggies for them. They're really cheap so I don't mind tossing them after or I reuse for more onions later. The small ziplocs are perfect for a serving of onions. I'm doing MFP now so I'll have to measure them, too and have each bag be like 1 cup or whatever.

      Sorry let's try this recipe again
      3 cups chapped Spinach (or Kale)
      1 cup chopped cucumber
      1 cup chopped pineapple (canned works fine reserve juice for making smoothie)
      3/4 cups coconut water
      4 slices peeled ginger
      Pinch tumeric
      Puree all ingredients in blender or food processor.
      Divide among 12 muffin cups
      Freeze until firm, about 6 hours.
      Store Disks in airtight container in freezer.
      For 1 smoothie blend 3 disks with 3/4 cups coconut water.
      Note: you can use the reserved pineapple juice, other fruit juice or liquid if choice to make the smoothie in morning.
      I find this delicious, wuich and easy. Great meal prep for week.

    I like that grain tip. When you soak the rice (my fav grain is barley by the way) do you then pour off that water and replace with new or use the soaking water to cook with?
