Eco-Friendly Idea

It's after 11pm on Sunday night and just had an eco-friendly idea to share. If you only have one produce item like an onion or bananas bunched together, skip placing them in those plastic bags in the produce section. Just place the item in the basket to reduce using so many of the bags that end up in landfills. It's more eco-friendly!

One more thing, there is a 'Penguin Cam' on the Discovery Channel website showing Penguins swimming underwater. The Penguin Cam will be LIVE 24 hours a day throughout March and April. You may already have discovered it from yesterday's post. I can't stop watching it :)

Buying Organic

I mistakenly picked up a small bag of organic carrots during my grocery shopping yesterday. I realized the register price was more than the carrots I usually buy. I didn't want to go back to the produce section to switch them out so I bought them. Today, I washed and cut them up and I must say these organic carrots taste much better than the ones I have been buying. Is it all in my mind...I don't think so. I would like to buy more organic products especially produce, but my food budget doesn't stretch that far. I like carrots a lot and might find a way to add this organic favorite into my shopping basket, Yum!
