Groceries!

[Phalanx]

I don't usually plan ahead...just turn up, look around, and apart from the household/cleaning type stuff, foodstuff is subject to...dunno, I just go along and take what I want.

- Organic all natural eggs
-Heinz Ketchup
- Organic 2% milk
- Organic blue tortilla chips (yummy)
- a cool looking glass and a plastic version of said glass.
- Lysine vitamins, (I'm going to try different vitamins and minerals each time a bottle runs out. I also take a centrum every day.
- Minute Maid pomegranate and blueberry juice (I'm in love with this all natural omega-3 business)
- Near East brand rice pilaf, 3 boxes, all whole grain of course :D

What's on your grocery list?

Heinz Ketchup has high fructose corn syrup in it. We always get Annie's Organic Ketchup, it tastes awesome, like Heinz but just fresher. I believe Whole Foods has it.

True, but I really didn't want to spend that much more for a tiny bottle. I only bought the ketchup so i'd have something to dab my chicken and steak in since we have that almost everyday where i'm staying. A little fructose never killed anyone :P

Oh, yeah. They sneak so much stuff in there, especially partially hydrogenated oils because if it's less than 0.5 grams per serving they don't have to list it on the nutrional information.
