Let's talk grocery shopping

[scooterbug44]

Is that two oranges for $5.00? Is that what this says?

Yep, that would be why Canoehead calls the place "Whole Paycheck". :roll:

As an experiment, we have joined a farmer's co-op for the spring and summer. For 26 weeks, we will pick up whatever fresh produce they are providing that week. I suspect we will be sharing ALOT with friends since a) there are only two of us and b) I am not particularly vegetable oriented and c) I don't cook much- however, DH does. He is the one who really wants to try this so we shall see!

It is really easy to freeze veggies. Then you can have them year round. Pulled out some squash from this summer the other day. It was the best thing I had in a while.

Well, this thread has sufficiently jinxed me. I just went to two stores, but forgot the main reasons I went: bread, eggs and toilet paper.

Three times in one day! Oh well, I'll get an extra lottery ticket.

Just sayin'

you could've cruised down to the turnpike and pulled two off the tree for cheaper than that.

Usually just once each week for the "big" family shopping and then filling in only if necessary. But I always get the Publix Breakfast bread when I'm in SoWal or other parts of Florida and now I take some extra loaves home. And I just looked up the recipe for it online and found some recipes that people think are close to the Publix breakfast bread, but I haven't tried baking them yet. Two slices of that bread is supposed to be equal to one serving of fruit with all the raisins, dried apples, and dried apricots. I love that bread. I'm drooling.

Clearly, I violated a cardinal rule here. I couldn't help it, but I won't do it again. They were $2.99/lb! Delicioso!

I bought a grapefruit, too.

You need to venture over to one of the older Publix's in PC that has a nice bakery lady from back when they actually baked everything in the store. Show her some attention and kindness and that recipe is yours. ;-)
