Grocery Shopping List – 4th Week of June

It’s Here Good People; The grocery list for the 4th Week of June ! Again, I offer you a look at my personal grocery shopping list with the hopes that you become inspired and grocery shopping is easier for you.

If you read last week’s grocery post scroll down to the list of inspirational, tasty foods because I begin with the same discussion from last week’s grocery list; no need to read the mini tirad. Otherwise if you haven’t already, I’d love for you to read the introduction and take a minute to become acquainted with some of my grocery shopping habits.

Intro

As we discussed in steps 1-3 of organizing your way to success, almost each event of our daily lives calls for a list (of things to do). When the event comes to grocery, if my bestie and I aren’t exchanging healthy, editable ideas then my little sister, the foodie and I are mixing-up tasty thoughts!

I’m Excited

Still, I am geeked about sharing my grocery list for the week with you. Not to mention, I look forward to receiving grocery list suggestions from you to share with our fellow guests at the Penthouse. At any rate, take this list as an inspirational boost to your grocery-shopping ideas.

Good Nutritious Food

There is good nutritious food on the list. Have fun tweaking it to fit your unique dietary style, But first I will share with you the little I know about organic/whole, natural, and gmo foods.

A Tad-Bit About My Shopping Style

Usually, I shop for groceries twice a week (on Sun & Wed or Mon & Thur). I either shop from the same list or note other groceries needed in preparation for the remainder of the week.  So, you can look forward to a “mid-week” grocery list as well!

Whole, Organic, GMO, Natural

More importantly, I shop for food that is whole (naturally grown food having no nutrients removed from them) or organic (food derived from living matter without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or other artificial agents). Conventional food/farming is the opposite of organic.) Also, I try avoiding food that has been altered genetically, aka genetically modified organisms (GMO).

Some Certified Organic Foods Are Modified

Note: Organic food can be modified and still labeled “organic”; Consider organic grapes, some are seedless and some even with cotton flavor! (delicious too,?) As long as the flavor added to the grapes are considered “natural,” the grapes can be classified “organic.” Natural, for those of us who must know, is vaguely defined as food that has undergone minimum processing. As of October 2018, FDA has not engaged in rule-making to establish a formal definition for the term “natural”.

My Body Knows The Difference

In all honesty, if my body didn’t recognize the difference between natural food and un-natural food, I wouldn’t say it was so, but it is [bleeping] so! In addition to the “tad-bit” above, whenever possible, I choose locally, or USA grown food.  One more thing, It’s not as easy as I have written! If circumstances don’t cater to my preference, I simply do the best I can! Now for the List !  (Sorry, I know that was a little more than a tad-bit ?)
