Grocery shopping

Since we live in the relative boondocks, grocery shopping is quite an event. The nearest grocery store is about 25 minutes away by bus so every Tuesday night I take the bus into the nearest town to meet Loran, who is on her way back from her Japanese class. We meet at the grocery store, Heiwado, and do out weekly grocery shopping together. It has become kind of a nice custom. It goes rather quickly. We buy pretty much the same thing every week. Our typical grocery cart contains, a few loaves of bread. ( A loaf of bread has a max of six slices) Six cartons of yoghurt, 3 strawberry and 3 blueberry. ( The only non-plain flavors they have) One large container of plain yoghurtfor Loran. One container of yoghurt drink for out morning smoothies. Various kinds of meat or fish. Usually hamburger, chicken and stir fry meat. (Meat is not really that expensive here) Eggs, butter, cheese, granola. Two bottles of sports drink. (Not gatorade anymore. They sold it here for a while but one day it disappeared from the shelves.) Pasta, tuna fish, assorted vegetables...lettuce, carrots, onions. Fruit...bananas...pineapple and a few other odds and ends. It is never more than two people can carry on to the bus and usually costs around $60 for the week. Not bad for two people! After we are finished we have dinner together either at KFC or MacDonalds. For us this is an exciting night on the town.
