A Peek Inside My Grocery Cart

Here’s what I ended up with this week at Costco! Best deal EVER on organic quinoa!! That product, alone, pays for my membership! (Click photos to enlarge!) That’s a FOUR POUND bag, people! Not the tiny little box you find at most stores for 4 bucks! And the maple syrup is the cheapest I’ve seen in town, too! Same is usually true for the ginormous pinepples and bell peppers, lemons and limes!

Deal of the day: Save $1.00 per bottle on Annie’s Organic Ketchup

I’ve never met a person who didn’t fall in love with this ketchup after tasting it for the first time! It’s a great brand with no high fructose corn syrup or vague words like “spices” or “natural flavor” in the ingredients list. (Click photo to enlarge and view ingredients list.) The price for this item is usually $3.99/bottle at Whole Foods, but right now in Omaha it’s on sale for 2/$6.00. That’s $1.00 savings per bottle, so STOCK UP πŸ™‚

How Food Additives are Making Us Sick (video series)

I cannot “beat this dead horse” enough! Please watch these videos and pass along to anyone you know! Everyone must learn to avoid MSG and all of its disguises (which is the tricky part). I’ve met SO many people who are trying so hard to do the right thing, but they are still experiencing unexplained symptoms. More often than not, it turns out to be hidden additives in food they never suspected. Just because, for example, you’re “vegetarian” or “vegan” or “gluten-free” or “buy EVERYTHING at health food stores” or “eat 100% organic” doesn’t mean that you’re avoiding things like MSG successfully. Unfortunately there are VERY few processed foods that don’t contain such hidden additives, even if they are “certified organic”! To name a few, these additives contribute to or exaccerbate things like obesity, migraines and other pain conditions, vision problems, heart problems, behavior disorders and attention difficulties, fatigue, digestive distress, etc., etc…..
