What was in your Raw shopping cart today?

[Seductive Arts]

I just like seeing what people bought when they go grocery shopping. It is interesting, like peeking in to someone's bathroom cabinet. :eek:

I went to Trader Joe's for the first time in over a year, since it is some distance from my home. Therefore, I stocked up on a lot of frozen fruits and veggies last me a month. This is what I bought:

Fresh...
Maripoix mix in container of onions, celery and carrots.
Shitake mushrooms
mixed chopped veggies of celery, red and green cabbage, carrots, onions, broccoli and cauliflower...sort of an Asian stir-fry mix.
Quinoa

(I plan to use the fresh stuff to make a big quinoa veggie salad)

Frozen...
1 bag of pomegranate seeds
2 bags of organic wild blueberries
2 bags of asparagus
3 bags of red, yellow, green and orange bell peppers
2 bags of artichokes
and I can't remember if I bought a bag of frozen peas.

The frozen is for future quinoa veggie salads. Except for the fruit, which I got for smoothies.

4 avocados

1 onion
cucumbers
lettuce
red chard
bananas!
frozen strawberries
frozen peaches
red/yellow/orange bell peppers
spinach
lemons
limes
two bags of fuji apples - my favorite, AND they were on sale!
the little bitty baby orange-type things - I can't remember if mine were clementines or lil' cuties or which ones exactly, but they're yummy. :)

I think that was it, I can't think of anything else.

Edit: I was at mom and dad's house (in another town) last weekend, and my dad knows that I go through a lot of bananas. He had been at the food bank dropping off some stuff and he'd baked cookies for the staff as well (he often does that). Anyway, they had a ton of really ripe bananas that they were trying to get rid of, and they asked him if he wanted any. He had called me to see if I wanted 40 pounds of ripe bananas, and I pretty much started screaming and jumping up and down in ecstasy. So needless to say, he took their 40 pounds of ripe bananas, and Saturday he and I peeled and bagged them all and froze them, so yay...I have a TON of nice lovely ripe frozen bananas just waiting to become ice cream and smoothies. :D

I have a hard time grocery shopping. My freezer is packed with lots of fruits and veggies, but still I can't resist seeing food on sale at the grocery store. I hate to fight myself for spending money for the sake of it knowing I have enough food to last me for a month all in the freezer.

But I picked up a few things to make me a new batch of quinoa salad to last me 5 to 7 days.

4 plum tomatos,.
2 yellow zucchinis
1 bag of green onions
one stalk of celery
2 bags of cranberries.

Some people may find it annoying to make several more stops at the market as compared to SAD eaters, but I really enjoy it. It's my favorite part of the week, and it's really relaxing for me. Like it's a hobby I'd like doing even if it wasn't a necessity.

I love Whole Foods, because it is a very pretty store with lots of interesting stuff, but it is too expensive. Just a small bag of groceries that won't even last a week will cost up to $100.

It makes me want to pray that I marry a rich man so I can shop at Whole Foods all the time! Because I love their fresh produce section so much!

If I wasn't on a budget, I would love to grocery shop more, too!

[Seductive Arts]

I bought today a half of pint of blackberries, pack of green onions, pint of mushrooms, quinoa and 5 plum tomatos.

[PammieTaj]

I treated myself to a trip to Whole Foods yesterday. And I mean treat. I bought three young coconuts, a bottle of coconut aminos, some buckwheat groats, and (from the raw/vegan food bar) some raw falafel and some raw pad thai (which was immediately consumed for lunch). Otherwise, what I can afford is Costco or my local grocery store - in season and as close to a dollar a pound as I can get. (c: Can we say coupons and the weekly advertisement sheet? Sadly, it's a rare thing to find coupons for produce.
