Alison Takes You Grocery Shopping

Join me in one of my absolute favorite places: the grocery store. Whether you're stocking up for the holidays, replenishing for the New Year, or just need a break from family - here's the way I approach a trip to the store.

Thank you to the Redhook Food Bazaar for letting us spend the morning filming!

As a 28 year old teenager who never *actually* learned how to properly grocery shop (growing up we just bought whatever was cheap and covered by coupons) this was SO helpful. Thank you Alison!

Congratulations on your pregnancy! So wonderful! At 36, I lost hope in trying but I really look up to you and you have inspired me to not give up. Also congratulations on finding the love of your life! I wish you three very well!

This is why I started cooking Alison's recipes. Before her, I didn't know how to shop or find quality groceries in Brooklyn. She's taught me so much about cooking for myself. I gift her cookbooks to anyone starting out.

I so enjoyed this Alison. Happy that we share some of these groceries and happy to see your picks. Carry on and happiest of New Years with the baby.

Thanks for taking us along with you! I too love a well stocked and diverse grocery store. I have one and it looks an awful lot like the one you’re in. I hope you and your husband have a wonderful holiday and congratulations on your baby! I’m so excited for you, and I don’t even know you, lol! Babies are a blessing❤️

“My body, my choice” about buying olive oil was so defensively funny. Who is making Alison buy olive oil in plastic containers!! 😂😂

I LOVE grocery stores. When I'm blue, I go to grocery stores, not clothing stores. I wish that Red Hook store was nearer to me!!!

As a Canadian, those prices make me want to cry!

Grocery shopping is one of my favorite things! For honey... try to get local honey! It helps with allergies. I always buy soy/fish sauce at Japanese grocery stores or even H-Mart. They have better options. You should do a shopping trip video of Kalusthans!

The selection in this grocery store is absolutely amazing!

[psionicjake]

I didn’t want this one to end, what a fun video. And soooo informative!

Shopping is the heart of cooking. I'm always amazed by cooking shows that say something like "This is the traditional ingredient but I used this substitute because that's what I had in the fridge". I don't have a magic fridge that produces random ingredients. There is literally nothing in there that I didn't go out and deliberately buy.

Would love even more content like this! Especially tips on picking produce and what to look out for.

Cloth produce bags are perfect. You won’t ever use plastic again and they’re washable. Happy holidays and a safe and glorious birth. Happy Hanukkah. ✡️

[ashleys]

This is so calming and comforting to me. More of this!

I love grocery shopping. I do it for friends who hate it.

really wouldn't mind for this to be a recurring series
