OP Day 8 and my grocery shopping fieldtrip
The new puppy, Beau, if fitting in around here nicely. He slept through the night and hasn’t have any “accidents” so far today. I think he’s gonna be a big boy. I’m hoping the vet can give me a clue at his visit tomorrow. So far, my other two dogs aren’t all that impressed with the big oaf. Hunny, my 6 year old chihuahua has already let him know that she is now “top dog” around this joint. Her son, Max (my dear Cody was his daddy) is scared of him. All the big guy wants to do is play with Max, but he’s not having any of that! Thank goodness that Hubby and I are on vacation this week. I had forgotten how much work is involved with potty training.
I love Trader Joes and Whole Foods! Hubby and I just got back a little while ago and I can say that the 2 hour round trip was well worth the drive. I came home with fresh ground cashew butter, greek yogurt, agave nectar, two different kinds of hot whole grain cereals, whole wheat pizza dough, farmer’s cheese, Ezekiel cinnamon raison bread…etc, etc, etc. Oh my goodness, I was in heaven. I just wish I could afford to buy the meats at Whole Foods, but my budget just won’t allow that. But, I did get some great items and Hubby found many of the ingredients for some of the Southbeach recipes that he’s been wanting to try. Looks like we’ll be heading over to the stores about once a month. Oh my goodness, after having a “taste” of these stores, how do I shop in the regular grocery stores again? Too bad my budget demands it.

Whole foods is insane! I feel like at least TJs has some decent deals. But I totally agree, can’t shop there for a full week’s shopping because it is was too expensive!

I love whole foods but the closest one to us is 1 1/2 hours away. We go everytime we go visit my sister who lives close. We like to go on the weekend b/c they have crazy samples all over the place! I do wish it was more affordable, though. My town, small as it is, plans to have a whole foods type store within the next year. I’m sooo looking forward to that!
