MrsRobinson Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 You play the 'Nope' 'Nope' 'Nope' 'Yep' 'Nope' game while the person in front of you is putting their groceries on the belt, and calculate that if you removed all the non-food, their bill would be $16.

Before I started buying all my veggies at the market, I would strut through the supermarket and was that person who would stand smugly in line at the checkout, glorying in having the healthiest trolley there. Now I slink through trying not to catch anyone's eye because my trolley usually has meat, meat, more meat, some butter for turning into ghee, sugar and tea for kombucha, if I'm extra lucky a pack of tampons, oh, and did I mention the meat? Not a green thing in sight. Everyone is looking at my trolley doing the "wtf mate" raised eyebrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadia B Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Ahah right. I am guilty playing another game called "what can I cook from a stranger's shopping cart contents". I LOVE faces of people standing behind me when I unload liver, hearts, kidneys and such at my Asian store. They probably think I am assembling frankencow in a lab later on.

Karen Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Ha, I went to my meat co-op today and left with $90 (less my rocking 10% meat CSA discount!) worth of grass-fed and/or organic beef. The guy that rang me up was very nice and when I was about to leave, this was our conversation: Him: Enjoy your cookout! Me: Huh? Him: I assumed that you're cooking out with such a large purchase? Me: Nope, that's just for me for the next few weeks. Him and a few customers in the shop: [surprised look their faces.] Oh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsStick Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Wow, that is...quite the seaweed sheet. Yes? I'm not W30 right now (moving in less than 4 weeks! Gotta use up the food!) but these make me laugh a lot. Me: I think I need to supplement my magnesium. Hubby: Why? What's it do for you? Me: (reads off of list of things it could help) Well, better sleeping, the racing heart/palpitations I notice sometimes might go away, muscle cramps, easier PMS symptoms... Hubby: Yes. Yes. Now. Do it now. Guess who's on a Zinc/Magnesium/Calcium/D3 supplement and just bought almonds to help supplement too? :-D I've been trying to figure out this heart thing on my own for a while (if I say anything at work I won't ever be able to fly again, which is why I'm trying to get it myself first), and lately my PMS (since stopping my BC) has been off the charts.

Physibeth Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I consider myself a woman of great strength after standing in line at Trader Joe's for what seems like forever (slow checkout in front of me) while a woman went on and on and on about how she can get 100 bananas for .19 cents each and that is her food for the whole week and not turning around, slapping her across the face, and demanding she eat some meat! I'm definitely one of those silently judging others carts. Though when I go to Fred Meyer I'm sure they think I'm bipolar because half of my food is healthy stuff from the organic section and half of it is the crap SAD food that my husband eats.

MrsRobinson Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 TJs had fresh Brussels sprouts on the stalk last time I was there. I know I've undergone some kind of paradigm shift when I was excited about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HealthyForPNG Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 When you pick up 6, 18 count cartons of eggs (family of 7 here!) When you want to cry because none of the ham your grocery store is, ya know, actually just.... ham. You read the ingredients in the can of "Pure almond paste" and want to take a picture and post it on Twitter with, "Reallly?!?!" because apparently sugar is "pure almond." You buy the entire stock of TWO brands of coconut milk, and still wonder if you bought enough. Oh, and I went grocery shopping earlier after reading this thread, and my store was OUT OF SWEET POTATOES! The stocker looked at me like I was a little crazy when I asked him if e knew wen they would be back in stock. (Answer: no idea. The nerve.)

lauraska Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 ...she makes a late night grocery store run "just for a few essentials" but comes home with two racks of organic pork ribs that were on sale and then stays up until midnight cleaning and marinating them.

Ophelia Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 .... They are constantly baking sweet potatoes at random intervals to make sure they are supplied for post WOD snack at all times. To quote on of my favorite (late) comedians, Mitch Hedberg, "It takes forever to cook a baked potato in a conventional oven. Sometimes I just throw one in there, even if I don't want one. Cause by the time it's done, who knows?" (Its much funnier by his delivery.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsRobinson Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Couple more I'm finding: 1. You always have a mason jar of coconut milk in the fridge 2. Farmer's market vendors save stuff for you 3. You are constantly running out of chili powder, paprika, and cumin. (I showed my spices to my father in law yesterday and he said 'Its like a SPICE LIBRARY!' This filled me with glee.

MrsStick Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I ran out of cumin every two weeks during my W30! Seriously...I learned very quickly to take inventory of my spices before I went shopping. Just to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annabel Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 The supermarket was out of cumin this week, but I've somehow managed to make it 5 days without any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsStick Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Annabel - how???!? Haha, seriously, every time I make something with cumin I'm always just a touch short. Never enough to notice, but to the point that it's no longer 2tsp of cumin in it, it's 1.25 or something. And if something has cumin, it almost always has other things in it too to help cover the flavor. But still. I've used 3 packs/jars of cumin in 2 months.

Kirsteen Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I've had all the lymph nodes in my left arm removed and was getting mild lymphoedema. the hospital fitted me with a really tight sleeve to wear. My daughter goes "Oh mum, it's making your hand swell up, it looks a lot fatter". I swear my first thought was "Yeah - that's the hand i use to measure my protein and fat" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
