This blog is for my friends - and their friends - a resource for random comments mostly focused on nutritional information, but would include related areas of overall health, exercise and attitude. I am dedicated - and have always been - to helping anyone who asks about any of these subjects, and if I don't know the answer, I will find it for you. So, ask away...m.

Shopping Around
Sorry to be so late today, but I've been checking out a new store that just opened. It's big, nicely laid out, has a combination of organic and non-organic foods, produce department looks awesome, and everyone was nice. I went up and down all the aisles, checked everything out, and bought some new products. But I did think that this store was trying to be everything to everybody, so therefore, didn't have the depth of variety within a brand as a typical grocery store might have. Some of their prices (wine!!) were higher, and pricing was confusing. That being said, it was still a great store with a lot of variety, and I do love trying new things. On that note, I want to encourage you not to limit yourself to shopping at one store - every store has different brands, and some offer this and others that, but they all have something special or unique, and it can keep you from getting into a rut by changing things up. Sure it's easy to shop right up the street most of the time, but when you have some extra time, go exploring, try something new, mix it up a bit. You might be surprised! Have a nice weekend - Melissa
