BuffyBear's Journal, 12 Jan 12

Happy Thursday - Guess I need to clarify one of my comments from yesterday's Journal.

Tracy's point was if we are not dieting, grocery stores can be fun - we all like new food so we search the supermarket for new selections of breaded, fried, and overly processed foods, not to mention cookies, pies, etc.

So maybe we can turn this around. Lets make grocery shopping fun. I challenge us all to go to the store with a new attitude this week. Check for a new variety of vegetable or fresh fish, etc. Maybe some seasoning mix to jazz it up. Lets share what we find!

If I end up in the wrong store and find a nice pair of shoes....I'll tell you all about them......lol! But seriously, I like this - I tend to buy the exact same stuff as quickly as possible, so I can get out as quickly as possible - I am going to have a look at fish, not sure if fresh or tinned I will see what takes my fancy tonight :)

LOL triaby...I love you might end up in wrong store, I am right there with you girl. Buffy what a great idea, I actually made a chilli last night haven't had one in so long had a little more time to walk around the grocery instead of racing round just picking up the usual. I am trying to make different things so a great idea. Happy Thursday.

Tracy - I won't fault you if you end up in a shoe store. I sometimes get lost on the way to the grocery store too.

Every day has become a new variety/combination day! Gotta love pregnancy cravings. Maybe tonight I'll try to find new things that won't cause heartburn, gas, or rapid weight gain. lol

Good morning, Buffy...grocery shopping is the one kind of shopping I like to do...just wish the meat prices would come down, as that tends to put a damper on things. Hubby always has great ideas for food. I got jalapenos for poppers, a spaghetti squash, and a butternut squash last night, and we are making some button mushroom pizzas tonight. Good food and there are lots of ways to change things up. Thanks for the reminder!

Tracy and Bren - Enough of that. We are looking for foods to eat (and if it helps us lose another 10 pounds the other stuff will follow)!

Liltagirl - It has been a long time since I've had to deal with that - Thank God!

Stef - Good stuff! Hate it about the grocery prices but we'd might as well get used to it because I don't think they are going down any time soon. Besides - sometimes the money we spend on food can be offset by the money saved at the drug store.

Love this idea Buffy. I am ready to try something new. Need to move things around a little bit.

Buffy, that is true, but sometimes I would like to eat something besides chicken leg quarters and hamburger (even ground beef the high fat content kind is at 2.35 a pound here, up .36 since the end of December), but I refuse to pay $5 a pound for chuck roast! So I will stick with my chicken, hamburger, and some occasional pork! Ahhhh, well, griping won't help. I do have to say though, that I love it when I find a bargain on beef!! Makes my day!! lol

Maybe I am the only weirdo in the bunch... but I like grocery shopping! And now.. I get to count all those extra 'steps'!!! LOL! Love to find something new, that is low enough in carbs that I can experiment with... makes my day!

Paula - Counting steps while searching for new food - now there's some motivation!
