5 Items You Buy At The Grocery: Comment Poll
By Rob
When you shop at the grocery store, what sort of items do you buy? Do you stick to the outside edges where the fresh produce is or do you buy as much canned food or bulk items as possible? Where do you spend your money?
Lets play a little game by entering your thoughts in the comments. My intention is to have at least 100 people participate by leaving feedback.

Beans because I’m hoping one will be magical.
In all seriousness, though,
1. Produce: Romaine lettuce
2. Bakery: (I’d prefer to leave that area alone and pick up a second item in one of the others or something from dairy, but for the purpose of the poll -) Whole grain bagels
3. Meat: Salmon (Omega3)
4. Frozen: Berry mix (antioxidants)
5. Dried goods: lentils
February 7th, 2008 11:15
Produce.
Greens, parsley, oranges, frozen berries and young coconuts.
To make a yummy Green Smoothie.
Meat and Dairy are abominations, never components of a truly healthy diet. www.ravediet.com — Order EATING for more information on that.

Produce - cucmbers and tomatos
Bakery - blah carbs…. whole grain buns
Meat - Chicken boobs or salmon (depends on the mood)
Frozen - Ice cream ( not gonna lie… it’s a downfall)
Dry goods - I am drawing a blank, and I went shopping last night… hmmm…. lettuce think.. ( liked that didn’t you LOL) - Granola bars

3 - meat: right now, none. We only eat meat out, at home none.

5 - dried: SUNRIDER!!!! that and red lentils, we eat those almost daily.

Usually go to the produce store once a week (Fruit and Veg city). Usually get :

Next would be veggies like brocolli, cauliflower, pumpkin, beans. I prefer fresh over canned.

Produce - carrots
Bakery - whole grain spelt wraps

Picking just one thing is a bit of a challenge. My diet is mostly produce, so how do I choose just one thing? I originally had the meat item listed as EggsAndChicken hoping to pass the “just one item” filter but I realize that I have to be a role model for future participants and can’t skew the poll.
