It has taken me over a year, but I’ve FINALLY found a grocery store I like. It’s either a 15 minute walk or 5 minute bus right if I time it right.

Now that I really think about it, grocery shopping here is not all that different from before. Besides walking rather than driving, I’m pretty much doing the same thing now.  It’s funny, I would never buy more groceries than I could carry in one trip from the car to my apartment because I lived on the second floor. I didn’t want to go up the massive stairs more than once. Seems incredibly lazy now compared to what I do on a daily basis.

I really do miss self-checkout though. I’ve used it a few times at Pathmark (when I’ve dared to go), but it does not carry the same ease of use.

As for general household shopping, I used to shop at Target. Unfortunately, the Target here is both super busy and super unkept.  I either go to Duane Reade (drugstore), Rite Aid or I’ve started shopping at drugstore.com. $49 or more you get free shipping. I just wait until I have that much and have it shipped to my work.  Packages to my apartment can be tricky. There is a nice lady in the building who will take packages for people, but I hate doing that to her.
