Spent almost 2 hours in the grocery store and that includes checking out. So bloody hot in the store that i almost wanted to leave but needed the stuff. Plus I had a limit on how much i could spend due to food stamps. Went 4 dollars over my cash allowances that i wanted to but thats ok. Never takes me that long to do grocery shopping and i was with a friend of mine

Yes, grocery shopping can be frustrating. Especially when you pick the ONLY item that doesn't have a price on it and 5 people behind you are giving you the dagger eye b/c you're holding up the line! I usually smile and say I picked that item on purpose to annoy them and that seems to take the edge off. I gather that's why so many stores have gone to online ordering and then you just go and pick up the groceries. Although I don't know if that's possible with food stamps.

i'm not sure either. I know i can do food deliver on food stamps but have to pay the delivery charge.

Ahh, sometimes in these situations (frustration with grocery shopping) we need to tell ourselves "this too shall pass".
