Many Options When Grocery Shopping

Do you remember when shopping for groceries was much easier? I don’t remember that we were label conscious at all, unless we were shopping for salt or sugar-free diets.

Present day shopping requires much more effort. Do I want to buy household vinegar, or pickling vinegar? What about baking soda; do I want this for laundry purposes or cooking? What about the choice in canned tomatoes? Those almost takes up half of an aisle in the grocery store. We used to just buy canned tomatoes, not chunked or cans of many different flavors, just tomatoes, and flavored them to suit our purpose.

I can think of many more examples as most of you can. I am not going to go into organic or non. Flour was an item on my list the last shopping episode. WOW, there are even more choices than the last time I purchased flour. The best part of the flour story was emptying my bag into my large can container. When I went to open the sack there was a warning on the top strip. “Cook before sneaking a taste. Flour is raw, please cook fully before enjoying.”

I need to surround myself with younger people, as I never even thought of eating flour from the sack!
