I currently do 99% of my grocery shopping online. My stepdaughter is talking about shopping in store more. With online shopping there are various links to click to get to different sections and then choose. I have something of a set pattern of doing things which works for me.
However in store shopping is something I struggle with. I am bad at organising myself to get what I need. I struggle to make shopping lists , and tend to shop haphazardly . I think this is to do with executive functioning difficulties.
I wondered whether this was a problem for anyone else. How are you at in store grocery shopping?
Not something I have a problem with, I do virtually all other shopping online but grocery shopping is done in the store. I tend to follow a set circuit of the store working through my mental list of items I need and will only deviate if there is something I specifically need outside of my normal route (for instance I don't buy dishwasher or washing machine tablets weekly as I buy in bulk and they probably last 6 months at a time). It normally takes me between 10 and 15 minutes to get round but if I have to go to a different store to one of my usual ones I can find that might more than double in time. I also tend to stick headphones on and listen to music as it cuts out unwanted interactions.
