You're on a quick trip to the grocery store because you're out of some of your regular basics. (things you eat or use most often on a regular basis) To keep the list short, let's say you're standing in the express lane with no more than 10 items purchased. I'm next in line checking out whatcha got.
What's bound to be in your cart?
Nettie
Here's what you'll most likely see in mine: -Half n' half -tomatoes -lettuce (romaine or one of the bagged mixes) -scallions or onion -Fruit: favs being strawberries or cherries (if any of these two fruits are in season, they WILL be in my cart) -lean ground beef or chicken boobs. -feta cheeze (the garlic herb kind is yummy) -grated parmasan cheeze (the bagged kind) -salad dressing (Naturally Fresh Classic Ceasar,(awesome stuff), Ken's balsamic vinigarette, or Cardini Original Ceasar.
Anyone else besides me peeking in other folks shopping carts at the check out line? Posted by Michael Boone (Member # 308) on :

Veggies and Fruit for this here Juicer, I could live in anyone's backyard. I never eat anything that has been gassed to ripen like in supermarkets as I have enough vices without being poisoned.

With those essentials I'm good to go. Everything else can be bought at restaurants or on other trips when I will NOT be going thru the express line.
