What is on your grocery list?

[Belles]

Just 2 senior adults planning on ordering some groceries. I know what I used to buy when I had small kids. What are some ideas for adults to have delivered to the room besides water and alcohol?

If ordering from Publix… Pub. Subs.

Also ensure you look out for snacks local to Florida or the southeast as well.

Two seniors here who placed an order recently-coffee (DH's picky about his brand), bananas, breakfast pastry, Dr. Pepper and Mountain Dew Sugar-Free, chips, flavored coffee creamer, orange juice, a few odds and ends. I wished we'd ordered more fruit-maybe some cut watermelon, peaches, cut pineapple. And the salty chips were a good choice.
I like the idea of local items-I did look for cream soda, which we can't get in Texas.

You mean Big Red is a type of cream soda? I didn't know that! I bought it in Massachusetts, and it was just "Shaw's[the Grocery Chain] cream soda". This expands my shopping!

Yep… Big Red is a type of cream soda!

It depends. My grocery list for a DVC villa is going to be different that my grocery list for a value resort room.

Generally speaking, I buy beverages (water and soda), something for breakfast (varies depending on whether I can cook or not), and something to snack on such as cheese and crackers or cookies. If it’s a long trip, I may buy bread, sliced meat, and cheese for sandwiches for those evenings when I come back to the room early and don’t feel like going out for dinner.

If I can cook in the room, that generally means I have a full size fridge and freezer, so I might order items to make a couple of lunches or dinners.

I always make sure I have paper plates and large ziploc bags in the room as well (can pack in suitcase or add to grocery order).

I love that idea!

Great idea! I would have never have thought of local snacks.

I'm going to bring my coffee pods from home, husband will drink Joffreys. Love the idea of cut fruit. Thanks

A good quality plain yogurt. Gotta keep the microbiome primed, especially when traveling.

 

[jmenjes]

For me as a solo traveler, it's just beverages. Ensure for the morning and making my way to the bus stop or Skyliner station, soda for when I return to my room at night.

We order stuff we can have for breakfast in the room while getting ready to go to the parks. Order depends on who's traveling, but usually yogurt (for DH), cheese&crackers for me, maybe minibagels, half-n-half for the coffee, cut fruit or strawberries, carrot sticks or those mini-cucumbers, pretzels for DH to snack on, applesauce pouches to take into the parks for a fast pick-me-up when waiting in lines, and water... both gallon and a 6 pack of bottles, so we can refill them each night. We bring our own coffee. Maybe something sweet (some sort of cookie) although lately we've been bringing a park treat back to the room for a late-night snack. We bring our own coffee and dried drink packets.

Publix subs are great but they are even better if you ask that the make them to make your sub using Boar's Head meats from the meat counter, and don't forget that they have lots of great cheese selections to pick from.

The chicken tender sub is also goated.
