My Indy trip (Saturday)

Yesterday was our trip to Indianapolis.
It was my first trip to Trader Joes (Boo went about 12 years ago when he lived in California).
I can see where it would be handy if you lived near it, but I doubt I would go to Indy specifically to goto TJ's. I picked up some tempeh to try, some flax oil, some toothpaste & sunscreen, strawberries, and light coconut milk. I think I will go back to get toothpaste and things like that, but only on the way to Costco. Nearby it was Pennzys Spice store, I had never been to one of these before either, lol. I grabbed some arrowroot, fenugreek seed, and a couple of misc. spices.

We used to go to Sam's club. It was all bulk stuff like I like, but it was missing alot of things I was looking for. Having heard good things about Costco, we decided to check them out this time. I am glad that we did! I found quinoa (!!!), unbleached flour, brown rice (I have been wanting to find this in bulk forever!), veggie straws, veggie burgers, etc. Needless to say, I spent twice as much here as I did at Sam's.

Blessings of blessings, right across the street from Costco is an asian market. I have been trying to find some miso paste for quite some time. I found it! yay. Last time I went to get sushi nori at Meijers they were out so I also grabbed a pack of those as well. It was a pretty thick stack of it too, not the over priced packets I can sometimes get lucky enough to find at Meijers/Walmart.

I think we now have enough food to settle a small colony, and shouldn't have to buy much aside from fresh veggies. It was a pretty good trip, and I was happy to brave the traffic to check it out. I am feeling great about cutting out the meat soon, and even pookie has said he might try a week without dairy to see how he feels =)
