Grocery shopping confessionsPosted Aug 20th 2007 12:02PM by Marisa McClellan Aside from the occasional late-night trips down the grocery aisle at the CVS across the street from my apartment building, I am a fairly predictable grocery shopper. I tend to hit Trader Joe's at least once a week and then supplement those groceries with a trip to the farmers market or a local produce stand. On a weekly basis, the top 10 things you will almost always find me buying are yogurt, milk, cheese (I like my dairy products), tofu, quinoa, light coconut milk (a recent obsession), fruit (nectarines, plums and apples these days), grass-fed beef, arugula and tomatoes (not a very titillating list I'm afraid). Of course, there's always loads more coming in and out of my kitchen than that (I'm a person who buys a new variety of salt nearly every month) but those are the basics. What are the 10 things that you find yourself buying most often? Snack foods? Bread and peanut butter? Kraft singles? Share the dirty details of your grocery bags.

I use big freezer bags with compartments that go in the trunk of my car as I'm always running errands, or cloth bags most of the time. In a pinch I'll use paper from the store because at least with those, I cut them up and wrap ebay packages with them, for another use. Posted at 4:53PM on Aug 20th 2007 by K 28. 1.
