Went shopping today at Trader Joe's (which I link because they have spunky little black and white characters on their quite interactive page which could entertain a wandering mind like mine for hours. And because I love them because their low prices allow me to purchase mostly natural and preservative-free food without breaking bank, like I would at Whole Foods down the street. But, they don't have local produce, so during the summer I usually go to farmer's markets or Giant Eagle for that.)
Got:
(In chronological order:)
whole wheat bread
cucumber
red pepper
bag of spring green lettuce
romaine heads
broccoli
apples
grapefruit (uno)
AVOCADO! (uno)
pears
milk
greek yogurt
frozen berry mix
honey wheat pretzel sticks
peanut butter
hummus
12 grain honey cereal
dark chocolate wafers
dried cranberries
stroopwafels (amazing caramel cookies that the Dutch eat with their coffee and I'm half Dutch so. When in Holland...?)
granola bars
FIN
I know I hadn't said much yet about what I actually eat, so I thought this would be a great way to lay my cards, or receipt, on the table. Cheers.
I love Trader Joe's and Whole Foods (although I can't usually afford it). It was helpful to see some of the foods that you are buying and consuming. Obviously there are so many different opinions on what is healthy that I was curious to see what you actually eat. I'd be interested in hearing what you usually eat in a day. Are you into cooking?
ReplyDeletego to the italian market in south oakland for your produce! its all fresh and wayyy cheaper than giant eagle or trader joe's. Also, there is a farmer's market that sets up every friday from 3:30-6:30 on Sennot street and oakland ave. Cheap prices. Fresh produce. go there.
ReplyDeleteI like that you're including the types of food you buy to show readers that it's not all rabbit food. It also helps to show the good and bad aspects about the stores that everyone praises for the health food they offer. I know I stick to Giant Eagle because I know I can afford the food there. I've never been to Trader Joe's but now I'd like to go sometime to see things for myself.
