Monthly Shopping
Jun. 1st, 2024 04:28 amIt has been more than a month since we did a major grocery shopping run to WinCo Foods in Reno, so we made a trip to town this morning, leaving just before 1 AM and getting home just before 4 AM. This was our first shopping trip since we got the Astro back, and we're both much happier doing so. Not only does it cost half as much (the Astro gets twice the mileage of the Rolling Stone), but it's easier to pack the minivan compared to the RV.
As usual, we made two trips in and out of the store: the first one was for heavy/bulky things like bottled water, soda, and juice. Then we return for everything else. Total damage was just short of $400, but again, that's a month's worth of stuff, not counting perishables like milk and meat we get locally in Fernley.
It took about 30 minutes to unload all of these groceries once we got home. Lisa says that putting stuff away after a trip this comprehensive reminds her of the movie Das Boot with how they crammed the submarine full of supplies at the start of a mission.
