Answer 4

1. Do an alphabetical list......

2. remember the grocery store layout...and make a list per isle in order,. I can have a 75 product list but when I list them in isle orer, it only takes me about 10-15 minutes, I am in and out!

Make it a game, see how long it takes you to get in and out each time!

Answer 5

Go with your friends. Friends are always fun to have around!

Answer 6

Bring a friend that needs to go shopping too and race each other to see who can get finished first with everything bought and nothing forgotten.And to get a bonus of 50 points,if both of you bought the same item,whoever got the lowest price on it gets an extra 50 points. For example=you and your friend both bought while bread...you got it for $0.95 and your friend got it for $1.20.You get 50 points yay you.

Answer 7

walk-man, I-pod, music. or talk a friend into going w/ you and do both of your shopping at the same time.

Also if your Really Really bord, get the wiped cream cans and suck the air out. Makes shopping alot more fun!~~Just kidding, don't do that!

Answer 8

I love grocery shopping! :] Just think of all the food and stuff you can buy! and all the meals that you want to cook up! :]

Answer 9

You could sit in the cart and have someone push you around. Take an airhorn and blow it a few times when people get in your way.

Answer 10

Have fun by talking to random people and saying stupid things like, "mommy buy me this" to the employees. This is especially fun if you shop out of city and no-one knows you. You can also switch things around and leave notes places and see if it is still there the next time you go. Just go shooping with me sometimes, you might die laughing! <3

Answer 11

look up new recipes first and try to find all the stuff to make them.  this is how i make it fun, especially when i'm stuck taking my kids.  they love hunting the stuff down with me.  Also, try reading the labels on things you use and seeing if you can't find the healthies version of it.  You'll get a little education in the process.  And wear your MP3 or Ipod so the time goes buy more quickly.

Answer 12

I hate it too, and no, I don't know of any thing to make it fun.

Unless I had a million to spend.

Answer 13

what i usually do is take a girlfriend with me. It makes it more fun and if u want to u can get some coffe after or see a movie that can be fun. I HOPE U SOLVE UR PROBLEM BEST OF LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!= )

Answer 14

First things first, I sample , anything &\or,If it dont move fast enough I eat it that also tells me if I like it well enough I'll buy it the next time I go. Next take a friend , have him\her smell the charmin[ its hard to not stick your nose where there isnt a bear ,  f**t & run    You should go with me ,, I can show ya all kinds of things that would keep your mind off of the duldrums...

Bring your ipod and sing along. But don't sing as you are worried people will laugh at you. Do it because your proud to be signing along.

Turn it into a scavanger hunt with your husband.The one who finds all the items first wins.

Answer 24

listen to your ipod or go with your husband

Answer 25

Have a few beers first. Then laugh at the obese women with a cart full of chips, ding dongs, and donuts with a six pack of diet soda!

Answer 26

change your attitude. choose to enjoy food shopping.

if you are single lady. grocery stores are a great place to meet someone.

Answer 27

Bring sumthing electronic. What did was not step on a certain color. You could make a song. Its a lil dangerous but race with your cart lol! Bring a friend!!

Answer 28

listen to your iPod :)

Answer 29

promise yourself a treat (candybar or a fav. candy/drink) and while you are shopping, get it. Ask your husband to go, tell him if he does he will get a treat also... I know it sounds childish, but it helps some. You are able to spoil yourself a little without feeling so bad.

Also, my husband and I use to do things like I will bring all the groceries in if you put them up. ( I hate putting groceries up & there is never enough room for us both to do it)

Answer 30

Make it into a game...YAY we are buying carrots!!!

Answer 31

Forget coupons, they're just a waste of time and most often make you buy things you don't really need.

Shopping is a drag. Make it an exercise. A mission. Set a time limit. Try to get it all done in half an hour. Next time try it in 20 min. Make it a competition.
