As little time as possible.
I hate grocery shopping more than any other adult life admin task. I maybe spend 1 hour every two weeks as a serious grocery shop.
However, because of my ADHD, despite having a shopping list, I almost always forget something. Or multiple things. So I end up having to make numerous mini-trips between shops, where even on my mini-trips, I usually forget something.
How is this possible to be so disorganised while attempting to be organised? Well, despite having a list, and a meal plan, I seem to get so distracted by the background music of the supermarket, the other people shopping (who sometimes do weird stuff if you watch them), interesting items that I’ve never noticed before, analysis paralysis when there are different flavours of the same item, or different brands of the same item and I’m trying to decide which is the best deal, or likely best quality, all combined with an overwhelming urge to leave the shop as quickly as possible because I just don’t care that much about buying food… until some point later when I realise I’m actually hungry.
I go through phases where I just bulk buy eggs and porridge with the plan of just eating the same thing every day for two weeks so I don’t have to think about what to eat. But then I get bored of eating the same thing.
Thankfully my work provides us with free fruit, vegetables, milk, bread, cheese and crackers, and unlimited coffee. So I can get away with being disorganised.
