Shopping Geometry

Good tip today from Loulie@Loulies.com. This is something I also teach when I give a cooking class:

Shop the perimeter of the grocery store. If you can enter a grocery store, buy your week's groceries, and never get to the center aisles, you're eating healthy food. The center is where all the processed food resides. These are the aisles loaded with sugar, salt, unhealthy fats, corn syrup, and unpronounceable ingredients born in a chemical laboratory.

These items are expensive, too, and we're paying for ill health, as well. It's true, these are also the items that are usually on sale. When was the last time you saw a two-for-one on organic apples? Misplaced priorities, as usual.
