How funny, you're the exact opposite of me, because if I try breaking up my grocery shopping into smaller more frequent trips, I tend to nickel and dime myself into spending more $ more easily! I can't get grocery delivery unless I go with Amazon Prime Pantry and every time I've looked into it, I think "but I could use a good coupon to get that cheaper at Kroger" ;) I wish we had a milkman, lucky you!

Yes, I know what you mean, especially when you are shopping for a family. I know it's different in the States as well, where people sometimes have to travel a long way to get to a store. The whole pattern of shopping in the UK has changed, driven originally by the financial crash, then austerity and now, Brexit. Prices have gone up, keep going up, but wages have not, and more people are in precarious employment.
For years, people were doing the once weekly big shop and Tesco was the biggest retailer, calling the shots with suppliers and local planning authorities alike. But then people's habits changed and the discount retailers - Aldi, Netto and Lidl - arrived from the continent. Now people shop around, visit four or five stores, and get the best price for what they want to buy.
I've taken your idea for a working shopping list - just put the hook in the kitchen, great idea!
