Peapod is priceless. How badly do I want my spouse or kids not to influence what I buy from the grocery store? One really effective way is to avoid problems long before they predictably happen; actions that catch me way at the beginning of the chain. Ordering groceries on line to be delivered to you at home is one of those ways. It can make the shopping part a non-issue.
It is simply not as stimulating to look at a picture as it is to see the real thing – like a bag of cookies. You don’t even have to look in that section of the site. Somehow that is easier than avoiding specific aisles, with alluring specials on all the ends. Your kids can’t nag you to get things they see that are deliberately advertised to kids. You can just duplicate an old list and not even look through all the “aisles” again. You can see how much and of what you are regularly ordering – very revealing. Your on line record is a bit like a food diary in itself.
