Over the years, my roommate and I did the grocery shopping. We would create a list. She would do the driving then sit in her car while I did the shopping. We would go to local dollar stores. We saved alot of money.

Lately, she came up with the idea that traveling to the city to WalMart would be better. Not only have I been giving her gas money over the years and now she wants even more gas money. The cost of groceries has doubled.

I don't want any arguments so I keep my mouth shut.

I do the grocery shopping but I don't go to groceries anymore. I just order online. I live in a farm in the middle of nowhere and going to the downtown will take forever.

I would love to be able to shop for groceries online. The roommate would never agree.

I also do a lot of online shopping these days, it saves time and travel. Your roommate seems pretty set on her way of doing things, but maybe if she saw how convenient online shopping is, she might change her mind.

You are your own person though. You can do what you want. You're an adult. You can make your own decision.

I understand what you mean, but we both contribute to the grocery money.

With the advent of many online marts, I do most of my shopping from the comfort of my couch. This option is beneficial mainly because it allows me to study other users' reviews, thus making better shopping decisions.

Do your groceries get shipped by US Postal Mail, FedEx, UPS Man, etc.?

You can look at reviews from other people to see if a product is good or not before you buy it. That really helps.

Maybe it doesn't have to stay that way. Perhaps you can make a change and you both buy your own groceries.

Why doesn't she like going to the dollar stores anymore? It seems like that option was working fine already.

Over here we don't really have a specific person who does the shopping, anyone does it whenever they have the time to.

I do make a list of what I would like, but that doesn't mean that I get all that I want/need.
