What I choose to eat

When I go grocery shopping I try very hard to find the cheapest/healthiest things possible. When looking at peanut butter for example, I always go with Skippy Natural. Who knows how "natural" it really is (I'm a sucker for marketing I guess), but I feel better purchasing it. Also, it is less expensive than the fancy peanut butter that has the pretty label.

Bagels are probably the most popular breakfast food I choose. I know their full of calories so I opt for the multi-grain kind instead of egg bagels or cinnamon swirl. I usually buy the off-brand because you can get 2 more bagels for a buck cheaper. Cheaper, as for now, is better because of my starving-college-kid status. I realize this isn't the case for local producers, and I do feel bad but a girl needs to eat!

I am not very good at buying organic or locally mainly because of the price issue. I try to spend only 50-60 dollars when I go grocery shopping. If you look at the organic bananas and the non-organic type you can see a very big difference in size and appearance. Like I mentioned before, I'm a sucker for marketing. I know that the non-organic bananas only look better because humans messed with them more, but I buy them anyways and take them at face value. Now, if the pretty bananas were more expensive...I probably would opt for the uglies.
