| Grocery Questions | | 2008-07-14 06:27:39 | | question: is the grocery bill for just dinners or for lunches and
breakfast as well? Do you serve something different every day for
lunch? My kids are stuck in the pb&j rut!Yes, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, everything.If we have leftovers, we eat those. If we don't, I always have the stuff for these lunches on hand:Sandwiches (pb&j, natural lunch meat, tuna, egg salad, cheese)SaladBaked PotatoesCheese quesadillasmacaroni and cheesepasta saladWait a second did you miss Saturday? Saturday is what we call "whatever day"--we eat leftovers, sandwiches, or whatever! For one thing, having a whatever day really saves money. Plus, Kevin is off on Saturdays and we usually are out during the day, so it's nice to not have to cook since I'm usually exhausted from going out. On Sundays, I TRY to cook ahead as much as possible, but every few weeks we go out. Do you find most of your recipes off of the website you mentioned in your post last week?

| Is Your Grocery Cart Full Of Food Or Food - Like Products? | | 2008-05-19 10:32:00 | | The single most important thing we need to know about nutrition in the modern world is how to recognize the difference between food and food products. I'm not talking about eating only ogranic or grass fed beef. It's simply knowing what is real food verses food like products.Once we’ve learned to make this distinction, our nutritional decision-making process will rest on a solid foundation. Most of what you find in your local grocery store will be items to make food from, not actual food.Simply follow this basic rule for healthy shopping and eating:Choose Food over Food-Like products.

| eco-friendly grocery bags | | 2007-08-31 01:35:00 | | I'm getting really tired of plastic bags, they are horrible for the environment, and while I am far from becoming obsessed with saving the planet, I think that this is a first step I could take.The problem with "green bags", is that most of the time they are not the most fashionable bags out there. So how do you save the planet and look good while doing it?Well, here are few tips in picking a stylish "green" bag:It doesn't have to be a "green" bag. It doesn't have to be organic. As long as you keep reusing the same bag, you are doing your part in saving the environment.It shouldn't be expensive. Considering you will store garlic and onions in it, it would be silly to ruin an expensive bag for groceries.These are the prettiest and cheapest totes I've found online:American Eagle Tote, available in different colors.For something different, how about a French Shopping Basket?But the best option, if you can crochet, is to make your own grocery tote with yarn made out of cut up plastic bags, referred to as "plarn", very interesting!While the worst option would have to beThe Louis Vuitton LoVe Tote!Tag line:"You can’t spell the word LOVE without the letters "LV"– Marc JacobsPrice tag:$1,720.Hey Marc!

| Grocery Shopping Tonight | | 2007-06-28 03:01:17 | | I'm getting ready to go on one of my late night shopping trips, but wanted to post quickly here to say thanks for all your prayers and advice about David. We had a good night last night and I got some sleep. It really does seem to be reflux. He had a good day before lunch, then after he had lunch he immediately lay down and took a nap and after that ate a bunch of M&M's. After that he spent all afternoon doubled over in pain. I gave him Maalox but it didn't seem to help at all. If it goes on I may have to take him to get an official diagnosis and get put on something stronger. If this is what he has, he has it badly. Well, I had better finish my list and get going! | | By: Homekeeping Heart | | |

| The push and pull of grocery carts | | 2007-06-19 02:21:00 | | I created the rule that every time you go into Wegman's, you will see three people you know. It's an inevitable truth.The rule worked Friday to the tune of 5 people, and tonight to the requisite three.I wander the aisles, pushing or pulling my cart in a daze. I nearly walk into a display as I turn to look toward the entrance and exit. The sun is trying to shine a beam of light through the clouds. I turn away and face the warm glow of display cases around me. I frown when encountered with a blur of deli meats. I will not decide tonight. Shiny plastic containers wink softly at me from the prepared food cases. I will not look. I thump a container of milk into the cart and push my way to the row of cashiers. "Can I put this all in one bag?" says a young boy. I stare through him and nod. | | By: In Java, Literally... | | |

| Favorite Grocery | | 2007-05-31 19:04:10 | | What are some of your favorite grocery stores and why?
I’d have to say that my favorites are Krogers and Walmart. I love Krogers because when entering the store I’m greeted with the smell of fresh baked goods. I usually go there because of their bakery, meats, and Kroger brand pop tarts. Name brand Pop Tarts for some reason are nasty, they had to have changed their recipe. But anyway at Kroger they pay special attention to items being fresh in the bakery and produce section. Everything is always neat, they take pride in their grocery store. I love that I can always get a deal on almost anything even gas with my Kroger Plus card.
Walmart. I love Walmart because I can find just about anything that I need there. The prices are always low, but they don’t really take pride in their store. Produce isn’t as fresh and the bakery isn’t as inviting as Kroger. At Walmart I stock up on frozen goods, toiletries, and bread from the “oops I baked too much” c | | By: Sophistishe.Org | | |

| To Grocery Store Managers, Cashiers & Baggers of A... | | 2007-04-21 23:44:00 | | To Grocery Store Managers, Cashiers & Baggers of America Some days you just got to speak up and tell someone to take action. This happened to me last night while Grocery Shopping at my local Kroger. Friday evening are always bust around 4:30 - 6:30 pm when people stop and do some grocery shopping on their way home from work. Today was no exception. As I approached the lines they had the express line open and one regular line. I was the third in line and there were two more behind me as I waited (trapped) in line listening to the cashiers and baggers complain about hours. Worst of all the one of the cashier's friends stops by to chat and they are going on and on as customers wait patiently in line.Finally they open another line and the bagger that was doing my line naturally moves over to the new line leaving my gabby cashier with no one to bag. I look back and there are now 4 people in my line and 5 in the new line. One of the cashiers call for David to come to bagging immediately. I | | By: qualityg says ... | | |
