Shy, it's not that fun, well a little when your first married, but it does make it easier to be healthy, just skip the cookie isle. If I walk down the cookie isle, I HAVE to buy Oreo's.

Skipping the cookie aisle is definitely a good idea - for me it's the soda pop aisle once there the aspartame bubbly drink cravings kick in...

To be as healthy as I can be w/ having MS and to weigh between 140-144 pounds!	I don't like to grocery shop either... I just want the food that I want, in my house, at all times, so that I can have it when I want it can we say "somebody needs to be rich and have a maid"? Or is it... "somebody is lazy"!

Always nice to try something differant or new. I went grocery shopping today & included the Craisins today. I actually love grocery shopping as long as I am doing it alone. I like to take the time to read labels, comparison shop, look for new products, & some and chat with friends. Sometimes it is the only place I see my neighbors. Sometimes I do all my dry product shopping, stop by the in store Subway, have lunch, & then continue on to finish up shopping for the perishables. At least, I am not so tempted by foods I know I should avoid since I have just satisified my hunger. By the way, What are Wasabi Peas? (I feel like such a dork asking )

And don't feely silly for asking - I've asked Teach about stuff before...Apparantly you can dry roast chick peas at home too (some sort of Weight Watchers recipe suggestion) but I haven't tried that...

I have had to ask about many food items too Joyful, that is the wonderful thing about our diverse group here... so many of us eat something that others have not heard of or tried!

Dry roasted Chick Peas are awesome. I fact i will go post the recipe right now. I am looking forward to buying my own food so i don't have to feel guilty about buying things that might be seen as expensive...but all food is expensive these days anyway.
