I do most of my food shopping at BJ's Warehouse. My secondary store is Wegman's, then the Regional Farmer's Market and Aldi's.
I get most of what I need at BJ's, though. Which means I buy in quantity. It is interesting the way that affects how I, living alone and preparing 95% of my meals in a typical week, eat what I buy.
For one thing, it means that when I buy smoked salmon (BJ's has the all-time best prices I've ever known for smoked salmon - it is less expensive than what I bought in the '70s!), I will be eating smoked salmon every day (almost) until I've finished the package, meant to feed six people.
It also means I can keep getting my favorite salad blend - Organic Super Greens - by the box, and using it to make the really huge salads that are a regular and large part of my diet. When I talk about eating a salad at home, you have to understand, I eat out of a salad mixing bowl - what you would put in the center of the dining room table when feeding four-to-six people. It's a very high-quantity affair.
Whenever you see kale and spinach together, that's from a 4-pound bag of frozen, organic, chopped kale and spinach. I use a lot of this. It is the main ingredient in all my smoothies, I have it with eggs frequently, and it is a feature in my curry dishes.
Since my food menu isn't really all that varied - one of the things I learned when I was losing weight was that when I eat for health - which is all the time I'm eating on-plan - was that I don't need a lot of variety in my diet.
I think that is one of the things that also affects my food choices when I travel, in a kind of inverse way.
I am very grateful for the way my life-lessons, as painful as many of them are, has led me to a place where I am not very anxious about eating now.
