This simple bit of grocery store advice will spare you a lifetime of regret. Give you back hours in your week. Bring sanity back to your everyday life.
I met a woman from Denmark last week. She’s been living in the United States for about a year. I asked her what she liked best about our country. Her response (paraphrased as best as I remember) was immediate: You’re not going to believe it, but it’s Stop & Shop. And all the grocery stores…
