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?
I hate grocery shopping. Even with a list I will forget at least one thing as the slightest distraction will throw me off and I will the just stare at the shelves blankly not knowing what I am even looking for.
It really bugs me when it is too busy as it feels like I am being rushed by the crowds of people so end up getting so stressed I will cut my trip short just to get out of there.
One thing that does help is going late at night when it is quieter as I don't feel as rushed and get less distracted.
Same here, I love the late night shopping. The atmosphere is very different.
I went into a 24-hour Tesco once at midnight on my way back from a night out, it was amazing. It was like they'd opened the place especially for me.
