I have a lot of neighbors that watch everything I do so I am trying to figure out a way to bring stuff into the house without people noticing. Any suggestions ?

Wait til dark.
I have a SUPER nosy neighbour and I leave what I can in the car til her curtains are closed. It is frustrating how many people watch you around here when you bring groceries in! She tells people I am a hoarder... I laugh. Ya, maybe but not the way she thinks. lol Once the move happens, the only neighbours I will hopefully have to worry about are bears and my guys are so loud they will probably scare everything off hahaha.

put it all under your t-shirt/ blouse...when they ask, tell them your pregnant....they may say "again?" and start calling you 'octomum' or the 'whore next door', but you'll have the last laugh when armageddon comes and you peer through your living room window, looking at their emancipated corpses roting in the street......alternativly, bring it into the house naked...the amount of groceries or type of stores will be the last thing there looking at!!!

Nice to see you back. Ok I am just about to unload the car. You will be able to find me by the sound of my neighbors screaming. They will also be causing traffic problems as they will most likely be running with their eyes covered.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
neighbors are blind, specially when you bring the supplies in at night naked.

I don't bring everything in at once, just one arm load at a time. Plus I work shifts, pretty quiet at 2 am.

Keep a Rubbermaid storage bin in your car, and pack stuff in it when leaving the store. When you get home, bring the bin inside, empty it, and promptly return it to your car, so you don't forget it next time.

This is how I bring my groceries in from Costco. The Rubbermaid bins are much sturdier than the boxes they "might" give you.

I know I drive my nosy neighbours crazy but they were already there before I came along. For every load I have to bring in from the car I take a load out - empty bags and boxes. They never know if I'm coming or going. They're in the habit of snooping around when I'm away so I leave my catch-all room that is my office/sewing/junk/storage/library etc. in a rather disorderly fashion but I know where everything is, and I take detailed photos before I leave home so I know if anyone has been in.
I'm moving soon so I'll be setting up a severe home security in my new digs. My new landlord is an insurance agent and he has already given me a few pointers.

Usually the only stuff I bring in that needs to be hidden is the chicken feed bags. I just do it after first coffee at around 5am. No one is up (that matters) and being in an 'old world' neighbourhood, people here live and let live.

The best is to wait until dark. But none of this helps when you run into someone you know in Costco and they're like "why do you need so much quinoa?"

😆 Oldschool I can't imagine that people will be screaming & running with their eyes covered because you're naked (you'll probably have lots of new friends)
