My name is Will DeFries and this is a Sunday Scaries Podcast. You are here for the Sunday Blues.

This week we're kicking off the new year with some listener questions. Let's get right into them.

Do you have any tactics for Sunday morning grocery shopping? I actually have a love-hate

relationship with grocery shopping on Sunday. On one hand it's productive and it does set you

up for a week of success with healthy food or just food that you want in your refrigerator.
