Grocery shopping's not a chore but a treat
at my favorite co-op grocery!
For twenty years I've been driving an hour away for shopping at a wonderful coop grocery. When my oldest four kids were little doorsteps it wouldn't be unusual for me to be "wearing" my youngest baby, have the three year old in the proper toddler-seat space in the cart, the five year old crammed among the groceries in the main compartment of the cart, and the seven year old "helping" push the cart.
Things have changed a lot now that it's just me and my fifth and youngest doing the shopping. We don't go as often (maybe twice a month) and it's a lot less chaotic (notice, I did not say more fun---sure miss those crazy days!!) We usually go hungry and start out at the wonderful hot bar and deli, linger over coffee (and a special "treat' drink for my daughter) and linger some more as we peruse the aisles reading labels, taking advantage of specials, and generally enjoying ourselves thoroughly!

| Hmmm . . .which one? Love both brands but I steer clear of lowfat, so Kalona wins!! Delicious!! |
I stock up on things I can't find (at affordable prices, at least) closer to home. And this time, with Christmas only days away, I brought my gift-list along. I love giving friends and family "usable" healthy items for holidays and birthdays, even as wedding or baby shower presents---Always trying to encourage good eating habits and introduce natural health and beauty products, even through gift-giving!

| Not giving this delicacy for a gift. No, not even to my pets:)) |

| Another "delicacy" not available closer to home. Thanks for bringing back the original formula GT!! |
Hope that you have an awesome grocery nearby that makes your shopping a happy and healthy experience!!!
