You know that age old logic about never going grocery shopping when you are hungry? That rule should doubly apply to organic markets. After my 7.5 mile power run today, I wandered into my local My Organic Market (MOM's) to pick up my favorite low calorie protein snack, Hot and Spicy Shitake Mushroom Jerky. At 108 calories, 0 fat and 6net carb grams per 1 ounce packet, it's the best after work out pick me up snack.
Well...was that a bad idea. I ended up spending $40.00!!!! Yeah, like the equivalent of half a tank of Gas in there on a half of bag of stuff. Granted, it was some wholesome organic stuff, but geeze louise! Now, if I were at my local discount supermarket, I could've walked out with a half a shopping cart...albeit a cart full of crap, but still. So unfair, that being and eating healthy has to cost so much.
I mean, People, after I emptied the bag, I had to look in it again, TWICE, and I even pulled out the receipt cause I swore the clerk MUST HAVE forgotten to pack something.
Here's what I got:
Veggie Chips, 0 trans fat, made with no hydrogenated oil and 140 calories for an ounce. $3.79
Vegan Buffalo Chicken Wings, 12 ounces of meatless goodness, YUM, $3.99
