oh YES!!! I remember those days.

I would pack up the SUV, my two daughters (who were great helpers at shopping and being frugal) and three HUGE coolers. We'd make a day of shopping- hitting the Krogers, Aldi's and Gordon Food Service. It was an all day venture- but the real work was when we got home and had to UNLOAD and put everything away- UGH that was the worst of it all.
