Grocery Duty

I go to the grocery store a lot.
Seriously... a lot.
By American standards, we have a small fridge/freezer and very little pantry/storage space, so I only get what we need at the store for the next 2-3 days at the most.

Thankfully, our apartment is above a grocery store, Hofer (rhymes with gopher). Hofer is the European Aldi.    
Most of the stuff that we eat we can get from downstairs.  They carry all the essentials at a great price.

However, sometimes I need other things that Hofer doesn't carry.  And then I have to go to our other store... Spar.  It isn't very far - just two blocks away.  They have the bagel chips I love, cheddar cheese, Mexican foodstuffs, Coke-a-Cola, soft American sandwich bread, yogurt, peanut butter, the jelly we like and cranberry juice.  So once or twice a week, I make the "trek" down to Spar to pick up some of our favorites, keeping in mind that everything I purchase I have to haul back (uphill) those same two blocks... with a little help.

William loves to shop with me... especially pulling the cart.

  1. I'm sure that is quite a fun adventure with 4 boys! We used to live in Germany...so I understand the fridge size. I pray your transition with the new baby continues to go well.
