One of the problems is grocery shopping. Most people buy their groceries when they need them or do their shopping weekly.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Since we don&#8217;t own a car and we live on a big hill going shopping weekly isn&#8217;t really an option for me. I can carry up to 4kg of groceries up the hill and let&#8217;s face it many small packages come up to 4kg in a second. This is the reason why I do my shopping once a month. Luckily one of our stores has a home delivery so I order all my things online and they deliver them to the house, we can pay any way we want, and 90% of the times groceries are better than the ones in the store itself.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I order everything I need. Food, drinks, dog food, toiletries&#8230;basically everything except clothes, shoes, and make-up. Our monthly cost for all this is around \u20ac340 which is around half of the Croatian average wage. Usually, when I say how much I spend on my monthly groceries people look at me in shock saying that it&#8217;s too much, mostly because I can&#8217;t explain to them that I don&#8217;t buy any groceries during the week. The only thing I buy extra sometimes is lettuce and that is only while the garden is out of season.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I usually get the question: &#8220;But you buy bread every day?&#8221;&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">No, I don&#8217;t. I don&#8217;t buy bread at all. I bake my own bread every 2 days, and I love to eat toast so I buy packs of Bruschette with spicy vegetables and cover the bread category.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Today was the monthly shopping day so this is how it looks:<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I order my things a couple of days earlier so I could get the early delivery which usually gets here around 8:30. Before the delivery, I take Sre\u0107ko for a walk, put the washing in the washing machine, prepare the boxes that I need to return to the seller, remove everything from the counters, make room in the refrigerator, and the freezer and wait for the delivery.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The process of delivery usually takes around 15-20 minutes due to the amount of boxes. All the stuff comes in cardboard boxes which we sort around the yard and after paying take to the second floor.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I usually order on Saturdays morning because usually, that is the day my hubby is home and can help me carry the boxes to the house, if he has to work Saturdays then I order on Friday morning because he usually works 2nd and 3rd shifts.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Once I empty the boxes I store them in the basement and return them next month. We get money for each returned box, but they are so good and strong I leave a bunch of boxes at home. They are used for everything, from storing to carrying wood to the house.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Groceries are packed into categories and it&#8217;s easy to store them. Freezer food is in bags that are taken out of the cooler completely frozen and are stored in the freezer first.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I buy lots of dairy products: 12 liters of milk, yogurts, sour cream, cheese, milk spreads, and cheese spreads. I also get flour for bread, pasta( only one pack this month I have 3 packs at home), quickly made soups, and pickled jars. This time I bought cucumbers because I have homemade peppers, chili peppers, beets, and pattypans. The cucumber season was very bad so I save the pickled cucumbers for salads because they taste better than the bought ones.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/--2ST7sEfLbo\/XhDZKGVbh7I\/AAAAAAAAIJI\/51DQcHNj2zElyhdKI_KuGw2kqaZ_pzWXgCLcBGAsYHQ\/s1600\/IMG_20200104_091123.jpg?ssl=1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1091\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"436\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/--2ST7sEfLbo\/XhDZKGVbh7I\/AAAAAAAAIJI\/51DQcHNj2zElyhdKI_KuGw2kqaZ_pzWXgCLcBGAsYHQ\/s640\/IMG_20200104_091123.jpg?resize=640%2C436&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">When it comes to vegetables I buy lots in January because we eat lots of vegetables. We eat them every single day. I cook every day and most meals are vegetable-based. The only &#8220;meat day&#8221; is usually Sunday when I bake meat or make some &#8220;junk food&#8221; like homemade pizza or hamburgers.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Our garden would have to be 3 times bigger to have enough vegetables the entire year, also I would need to buy a freezer the size of the room to store everything.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I still have kale, beans, carrots, garlic, and a bunch of mushrooms that we stored from the garden and woods but I had to buy onions, potatoes which I don&#8217;t grow, zucchinis, peas, spinach, sour cabbages, champignons for pizza, lettuce and some green beans for soup. I also bought a big amount of leek because it was on 60% sale and I bought a big cabbage head for cabbage pasta. Of course, I also buy fruits because bananas, tangerines, and pears don&#8217;t grow in my orchard(yes pears refuse to grow on this side of the hill).&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-K8AZrTk865g\/XhDZJi51a5I\/AAAAAAAAIJE\/htuhwVyUZJE2HsSGSMgFNirUPGM0ijH_ACLcBGAsYHQ\/s1600\/IMG_20200104_091848.jpg?ssl=1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"810\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"322\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-K8AZrTk865g\/XhDZJi51a5I\/AAAAAAAAIJE\/htuhwVyUZJE2HsSGSMgFNirUPGM0ijH_ACLcBGAsYHQ\/s640\/IMG_20200104_091848.jpg?resize=640%2C322&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">3rd part of my monthly shopping is deli foods and meat. My hubby takes sandwiches to work so I need a good amount of salami and sausages to make them throughout the month. Also in Croatia, most people eat cooked lunch and sandwiches for dinner so this is also our dinner if there are no leftovers from lunch for dinner. I get some cooking sausages which I use in vegetable stews instead of meat and also some pork and beef dices that can be used in stews and gravy&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-EU481xpGajA\/XhDZNIhi5HI\/AAAAAAAAIJQ\/uwSNd-Jy6tcescc5cxrHxdQ8rDvdrOX_gCLcBGAsYHQ\/s1600\/IMG_20200104_092517.jpg?ssl=1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"900\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-EU481xpGajA\/XhDZNIhi5HI\/AAAAAAAAIJQ\/uwSNd-Jy6tcescc5cxrHxdQ8rDvdrOX_gCLcBGAsYHQ\/s640\/IMG_20200104_092517.jpg?resize=640%2C360&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">When it comes to drinks I buy few bottles of fizzy drinks which we have on Sunday, beer for my hubby, and lots of vitamin fizzy tablets. Then there is also vinegar, salt, rice, spices, other cooking ingredients if I need them( I didn&#8217;t get any this time), toiletries, freezing bags, trash bags, cleaning supplies, and food for Sre\u0107ko.

I have to unpack the meat and move it in the freezing bags to have more room. I also slice all the mushrooms and zucchinis and store them raw. When it comes to vegetables I boil all my vegetables for a minute, cool them, and store them in the freezer.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I have to do all this because my freezer is too small to do it anyway other than that. My kitchen is in the attic space so I could buy the only a freezer up to 160cm tall.
