Grocery list?

[Chili327]

charcuterie board

Always on the list.

With just 2 of us, we get frozen ravioli, which DH boils up, and usually refrigerated sauce.

Not a bad idea, pretty simple with just a jar of sauce, no spices, etc needed.

When we order it is for a week and involves either 8 or 11 of us. As a result we order a whole weeks worth of groceries. We just combine our families two groceries list and order that. No big meals mostly frozen pizza, breakfast items and a lot of snacks and maybe some lunch meat and fixing for them. We use Dizzy Dolphin and have for years now. They shop from your list and not a preset list to pick from that several sites use. They also deliver(with no issues from GS on our many trips to several different DVC resorts) our beer and wine order. They do verify age when we order. Many do not take alcohol order at all or require you to hang around to sign for it but not Dizzy Dolphin. This then allows us to go off and do whatever until our order is delivered or our room is finally ready....smjj

My caveat is that I don't do grocery delivery since I have a 2 1/2 hour drive to Disney so I shop at home and bring a lot of the stuff in a cooler - but the list of what I bring or buy when I get there is:

Bring: bacon (uncooked - I just prefer the taste and control over the texture when I make it myself), American cheese slices, butter, bread, chips, salt, pepper, coffee beans and grinder, coffee filters, sugar, sodas, iced teas, and waters, knife (none of the ones they provide can slice cold butter),tin foil, freezer bags (for leftovers). Sometimes I may include a bag of cookies.

Buy (I usually just use the DVC stores even with their high prices because it's just more convenient): milk, eggs, possibly a dessert if I didn't bring any.

I pretty much just do breakfasts in the villa. If I had leftovers from a restaurant the night before, I may eat those for lunch if I'm doing a late start to the parks. Dinners I pretty much just do at restaurants. When I go to the parks for the day, I always bring a gallon freezer bag in a pocket or camera bag, folded up...especially when your room is really far from the ice machine, it lets me stop at the ice, fill up the bag, and head to my villa, where I can fill up the ice bucket. It may be lazy, but after wandering miles around the parks all day, then coming back to a long long hallway - the last thing I want to do is get to my room ready to relax and kick off the shoes, and realize I need to grab the ice bucket and walk down those long halls, elevators, or stairs to go to an ice machine, and back again. Especially at Boardwalk where the halls are long, Saratoga where all ice machines are on the first floor only, and OKW where the ice machines are way down at the bus stops or laundry rooms!

Living near by, shopping for yourself and ability to take leftovers with you changes everything, but you just reminded me I won’t have to find and ice machine when I wake up to make my iced coffee.

Yeah, that is nice to be able to do that. We on the other hand travel from Indy a little more than 2.5 hours...smjj

We're a family of 5 and find the kids like eating dinners in the villa...(and we'll be there for a full week at a time)
We also usually drive so all the dry good items we will bring from home and instacart the rest (because I don't want to go grocery shopping when I get there).

We plan for dinners: spaghetti, potstickers, red beans and rice with sausage, ramen.
Breakfast -- eggs, grits, sausage (precooked so it's just heating), hashbrowns, cereal, milk, premade pancakes or english muffins.

Dry goods: pasta sauce, spaghetti, Blue Runner red beans and rice, microwavable rice packets, ramen, canned vegetables, oil, grits, cereal, and I prepare small containers of salt, pepper, garlic power and Tony Chacherie's
Instacart: microwaveable frozen vegetables, frozen potstickers, sausage/kielbasa, onions and bell peppers (for the pasta), milk, hashbrowns, butter, fruit, salad bags, meatballs.
Honestly, if the kids had the pasta, jar of prego and frozen meatballs, they'd be happy.

Also because we drive, I pack: chef knife, kitchen shears, and rubber spatula (because the tools they provide are not good)

Since you’re transferring between resorts, I would suggest packing a few reusable grocery bags. They stand up better than the paper bags that come with the delivery when transferring food. When we have just the 3 of us, we mostly get snacks and beverages, as we tend to do table service most days. Beer, soda, bottled water and creamer. Foodwise, chips/dip, block cheese, triscuits, Doritos and other chips. We get a few breakfast items such as English muffins, yogurt, butter and bread. We often throw cereal bars and a meat stick in our suitcase. If we have “littles” traveling with us, we sometimes get more substantial food such as frozen pizza, chicken tenders and PBJ. We have salt/pepper, ziplocks, foil and other kitchen necessities in our Owner’s Locker. We’ve always used Garden Grocer for food delivery. We have been renting a car for most of our recent trips, so sometimes we just stop at Publix on the way to the resort on day 1.

I get all my deliveries from Target since I have free delivery with my circle 360 membership. Dasani water is a must.
