How the ENTP Shops for Groceries

God, I miss American grocery stores.
Also, "Lih-bulbz".

I'm not an ENTP for the purpose of this thread, but I am thinking of buying several large buckets of dried potatoes. I've already bought 30lbs of rice. Perhaps I need several jars of butter flakes, you know, just in case the world get blown up soon. Definitely need a battery run DVD to watch funny shows and loads of taters to survive the apocalypse.

Haha. Yep.

It doesn't matter if I go in with a list or objective, I see one item on the shelf and even if I went to the store to get the ingredients for one recipe, if that item I find spurs on an interest for tacos, then shoot, that's what I'll end up leaving the store with, all the ingredients for tacos, and not the original recipe. That is of course, I don't first run off to get the ingredients for two to three other dinner ideas I had before the idea of tacos came to mind first.

Even my INTP does better than that. I suppose, though, that we should be glad that you do at least buy groceries.

I buy wild rice online in 25 lb packages because it is much cheaper that way.

You would be surprised. I have gone a week before, of eating cereal for dinner or spaghetti with butter and parmesan because I didn't get groceries. I assure you though, that other areas of my life are at least somewhat more organized. I do have a wall full of color coded post-its and a to-do list above my desk.

I promise, there is a method to my madness

*wonders how many freaked out stares the dude got while constructing and repeatedly adjusting a corn camera phone stand and talking to the juicy lettuce about his guinea-pig-first priorities*

But do you actually DO the things on the to-do list, or is it mainly decorative in function, to complement the post-it mosaic?

Hmm, this comment is just luring me to come back with jokes on top of jokes. Your humor tempts me. But oddly, I'm in a serious vibe so I shall answer you that way.

I work in waves. If I don't feel like working or not in the mood, I won't, or I'll try, but won't be very productive. When I feel a productive mood coming in, I take full advantage of it and get as much done as possible before it leaves and I'm back in a lazy, stare at the sky mood. Working a regular job can be a challenge to this approach, but I can still somewhat apply it and get things done that I need to. I basically work in sprints, then take breaks in between. There is no slow and steady option for me.

It appears to me, on the contrary.

I'm not suggesting my grocery shopping is any more exciting or interesting; it's not.

Maybe video edits would help.

 

[Grand Admiral Crunch]

If you're an ENTP doing grocery shopping alone, you need a camera. That way you can talk to people the whole time.

That was cute.

You mean it's not more like this?

Back when people could make grocery store shopping fun

Before the dark times. Before the empire.

Hahahaha, quite apropos.

It's all at my ex-bf's cabin, but I'm okay with that. I have wondered if my obsession with stocking up on toilet paper was mildly psychic of me.

I've always been a pantry hoarder, but this has helped me hone in even more on the essentials and better strategies for maximizing my savings.
