Doing the shopping on a big scale

I have decided, that I will not spend so very much money on food. Mainly on snacks and Cappuccino-to-go. That meant, that I had to buy provisions, who would make it easier, while not overspending. Also I did not want to shop for groceries after this for another two weeks.
So, while not spending much, it had to be enough to last me two weeks.
Added to that I had to be able to carry it in one go. Since I do not own a car, that was not all that easy. Plus: car or not, I still would have had to carry my shopping onto the first floor. We do not have an elevator in our house. Therefore I first wrote a list. Then I decided on one luxury-item. That was one piece, that was not on my list and today my choice fell on red beets. I like the beets. But I had not put them on my list, as I didn't think of them, while writing it. So that was my luxury item.
I also had a lot of empty bottles to return. That made 5 € return on my shopping, which kept it in the budget. Otherwise I would have had to return something. Not needed though. Pooh. Lucky. But an easy choice really, as to what would have gone, apart from the luxury item, if needed.
What I did forget to take was my calculator. I had planned to not what I spent, while walking through.
I had at first thought of buying 12 bottles of water, but I did not like the idea of carrying 18 liter of water home. And then I still have elderberry syrup and woodruff. Then, too, I drink a lot of tea and Cappuccino during the day. So there was no need to buy that much water, even for two weeks.
It was reduced. I took some grape-juice though (yes, it was on the list).

I am also very proud to have combined going shopping with taking out the trash, filling the washing machine and going to the pharmacy. Go once, get rid of four tasks at once, without trouble. I just love it.

The machine will be through by now, so I will do another load, for I love that. And hang the bedclothes of the first load.
Other than that I got a membership in a big library, rented some books on corruption and yesterday some audiobooks. It works out nicely.

The weather is turning more into spring and it is lighter, when I start for school in the morning. I also got on with my knitting and started on sudoko. Though I sort of suck as yet. I will get better though. It is not, that I am stupid, I just don't really concentrate and I used to give up sooner.
But since I decided, that I won't do that any more, it should work out.

As to giving up early, it is not always, as proven by three job-trainings, hard work to getting my drivers-licence, just living and working on my blanket. So I do go through with the important stuff...

And now to do the washing...
