I don’t remember how I got to this blog, but this girl Violent Acres is pretty interesting. Her posts are very nice, and I find myself agreeing to her more often than not (most of the times, actually).
Today she posted about how being thin and in shape is expensive. I have to agree. Coincidentally, a couple of months ago I switched my grocery shopping from Albertson’s to Trader Joe’s. TJs are not cheaper, but they sure are healthier. At least I feel like they are healthier. I started buying there because fruit was so much cheaper than albertson’s. A grape fruit, sold by the unit, costs $0.50 at TJ and $1.30 at Albertson’s, and they are much tastier and juicier. Now I get as much of my grocery there as I can. The rest I get from CostCo.
In general, I think TJ is a bit more expensive, especially if you go with organic. Nevertheless, I feel better there. And I have to say, I’m yet to see a very fat person in TJs, as opposed to Albertson’s (damn, Albertson’s even have those electric carts for customers!). I guess it in part confirms her theory.
