    Do not order home delivery groceries when pregnant

    Becuase you'll end up with multiples of everything!

    Okay, so some of the stuff I actually needed, some of it I wanted...but DH bought baby carrots the other day and now I have two more bags. I'll be eating carrots for a while.

    Aaannnd....becuase I was dipping them (raw) in mustard the other day, I now have a GIANT bottle of mustard...and am not sure I feel like it now. Bahahaha!

    Oh well...I can laugh at myself.

    This place is condiment central anyway, I am sure one more won't make any difference.

    I've eaten nearly a whole giant jar of pickles this week, and now have a backup new jar. At least pickles are low cal, low fat!

    The other week I ordered 4 x 1kg boxes of pears - instead of the 4 pears I thought I was ordering.

    I've done stuff like that before...but with spinach.

    SO much spinach...

    I've been thinking about online grocery shopping as I get bigger in my pregnancy, it will be easier.....but after this thread now I'm not so sure

    I am surprised that the whole order has NO junk or treats in it...very healthy.

    Oh and I also have 2kg of small dice frozen veg (you know the type)....but that's fine becuase P eats them every night and I make soup with them every night...and 2kg of chopped onion. Also fine, becuase I love onion like I love my child.

    6 tins of tuna in springwater.

    2 packs of thin ricecakes (my staple lunch with the tuna)

    2kg of red apples (another everyday staple)

    4 jars of salsa...two mild, two medium...which was a genuine mistake becuase I forgot to delete the mild from the order when I changed it to medium. (to dip the carrots in)

    I can't stand going to the physical supermarket when pregnant...the smells make me gag!
