I had to get groceries the other day and I noticed that I picked out a lot of items that I used to make my parents get me back in the day. Cereals like Count Chocula, Cocoa Puffs, Chef Boyardee, Nacho CHeese Doritos, ham and cheese for ham and cheese sandwiches. Of course, can't forget Hamburger helper.
So, do any of you still do the "dromie goes grocery shopping" or have your grocery needs matured? Make out a list and let's all check it twice.

Remember those chef boyardee pizzas? I had them a couple of times when I was "way" younger. I think those definitely count as a geek food.

Ugh, I've become exactly what I wanted to avoid....I buy soy milk and chicken now. That's it. Lots of chickens though...PETA would fire bomb my apartment if they could.

And who can forget those amazing TV dinners..Kids Quisine I think it was called. I've been meaning to get a few of those so I can geek out and relive my childhood at the same time.

I used to get those all the time, but now they just don't appeal to me. I think Ctrl+Alt+Chicken is finally going to ge me into the kitchen.

jeeze, I wasn't allowed anywhere near that kind of food til I could drive and they couldn't stop me. but, I was greatful later when I had a few friends that were a little overweight that ate nothing but hotpockets and then were confused when they 'just coldn't lose weight'.

Mostly on my grocery list are soft tortillas and shredded cheese. I eat a ton of cheese quesadillas. Also ingredients for fluffernutters - marshmallow fluff and peanut butter on toast. YUM!

lots of chicken (I love my new bbq) and salad stuff, diet coke, pickles... my shopping list is pretty boring. But I must say I never got all that junk when I was a kid either... maybe I'm missing out on something :(

I didn't always get the "cool" groceries. Sometimes my whining didn't work...much to my dismay :cool:
