What wonderful foods did you bring home from the grocery store? |
| Today, I ran to the co-op with the kids and ended up spending over $73 on 16 items!
The only produce we got were organic mangoes. I have to check if the organic produce stand is open yet and if not, off to Farmers Market we go tomorrow. Then to Whole Foods and Trader Joe's for the rest of what we need.
Worth mentioning is the GIOVANNI air turbo-charged natural mousse that I got. The label says cruelty-free and no animal by-product. I love finding products like that. I'm not really sure what else I have at home that would make me feel like a gravesite for animals, but I consider myself more aware now...
I also bought Giovanni White Tea lotion and body wash , but these are not for me. I hope the recipient likes them! What are your favorite cruelty-free and vegetarian products?
The most expensive item on my list was the dark maple syrup from the bulk section- $15.09 and that includes my so humble member discount! I wanted to stop halfway in the container but Aliyah kept saying, "More, Mama, more, so we can make lots of chocolate chip cookies!" (From Vive Le Vegan, that is.)
My favorite thing at the co-op: raw and vegan Flax Peanut Butter Bars. I'm listing the ingredients here because I really want to be able to make something like that at home, but haven't had the time nor creativity yet: Oats, organic evaporated cane juice, natural peanut butter, non-hydrogenated soybean oil, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds & vanilla. Just that, and yet, these bars are soo good! Do you have a similar recipe or such?

I think it's great to go to the store and just buy what you really want instead of settling. Sure it's more expensive but it feels good. It's my new philosophy. Let's face it, you only go around once. (I hope we and find a recipe for those bars. They sound terrific!)
A good grade of maple syrup, wonderful stuff but so worth it. Thanks for the retaurant pointer.
It's hard to spend so much money, but good at the same time.. I'm sure someone here will have a good recipe for those bars. I'm not a huge sweet person, so I don't have a lot of sweet treat recipes.
Wow, those bars sound great. I love grocery shopping, and along with that sosmetimes goes treating yourself to something a little pricey! :) I still feel good at the amount of food I bring home, and the number of meals I can make, for what I spend. So satisfying...
Thanks for visiting my blog! I love yours; it's very inspiring to me. Thank you!
Ienjoy these voyeuristic peeks into other people's grocery sacks. Thank you, Kai.
Kai, those bars sound very similar to Leslie's "treats" -- she might be able to help you out with a recipe!
