Oh how I HATE grocery shopping! Always have, always will. And I write to PeaPod almost weekly, begging them to deliver the crap to me. But no, they don't service my zip code (less than 1/2 a mile, I may have to move). And you saved the best for last. The truth will set you free! Patti's last blog post..Look Ma, No Hands!

I loved the last bullet. I have the same situation too. The person I want to rant about spoils her kids and never disciplines them. Her oldest will knock down the youngest and she is like "stop that" The oldest will whack the youngest again in about a minutes time. I'm thinking how about a time out or something. Geesh! Tell him to stop is obviously not working. Vicky's last blog post..Pregnancy Test Results Today!

Great rant! I wouldn't even know where to start. Except that I hate how cold it is in our basement because of the broken window, which we can't afford to get fixed and had to be broken so a cop could get in because I locked myself out (and the kids were in) because we can't afford to get the front door lock fixed because we are broke because some company, whose owners I'm related to, hasn't paid Hubby in a long while. And I can't complain that much because of the relationship factor. And I'm feeling a little bitter. . .can you tell? Jerseygirl89's last blog post..Looking For A Web Host?

I can help with the tea thing. Buy the ‘family size’ tea packs–not more, but larger tea bags. Then take one of the empty gallon jugs you’ve got around and rinse it out( or be like me and use an old wine jug–you’ve got those, too, right?). Boil a quart of water in a pot, add three tea bags. Let it stew and cool off. While that happens, fill the jug halfway. Then pour the tea in. Then fill the jug. Leave it on the counter to finish cooling, then put in the fridge. Cost: about 3.50 for many, many gallons of tea.

For sweet, put about 3/4c sugar in when you fill the jug halfway. This will be almost as sweet as the stuff at the store.

In the summer it’s easier: Fill jug, put three teabags in, put outside. When you remember, go get it and weasel the bags out of the jar. Tea! Since I’m in TX, this works nearly year round.

I hate grocery shopping too. I'm always tempted to try ordering my groceries online and having them delivered. Have you ever thought about this? Let me know if you try it. Lottifish's last blog post..I Love Al Gore

I can soooo relate to your rant. I'd join in but I don't want to get all worked up about it! theotherbear's last blog post..Under Pressure

That’s it…let it out….Let.It.All.OUT! It’s healthy to vent, I hope it helped!!

I’d vent too…but I don’t think there is enough room in the comment box!

Well damn. I used to like grocery shopping until I read that. Now you made me realize how f’ing monotonous it actually is!!!
Love the last bullet. For the sake of my family I really should start doing that and pretending I like the IL’s instead of just telling them that stuff to their faces. Oooops!

Holy Rant-o-saurus Bat Man! I’ll bet THAT felt good.

You know… you could save that $50 every single week (and buy new shoes instead) by just not buying any of that stuff. None of it.

Drink water.

Your bodies and your minds and your check book will love and thank you for it. No joke.

Think you could do it?
