absolutely the best shopping is the perimeter of the store....i spend most of my time in the fresh produce dept.....breeze through almost the entire store (some aisles i don't even bother with) then spend some time in the fresh meats/seafood/chicken....after that some dairy.... i've had more than one store checker say....'wow, you really eat healthy, don't you!' sad to say, it is definitely more expensive to buy fresh and cook your own...(can you imagine, the $ menu at mc d's???) and vegetables are getting more and more expensive.....thank goodness for costco....i go there about once monthly and buy a huge bag of spinach, red peppers, romaine, mushrooms, english cucumbers, avocados, and whatever else strikes my fancy....their xtra virgin olive oil is a BUY and so is the balsamic vinegar...starbucks french roast is a good buy as well....as you can imagine i spend a LOT of money at costco....but i buy quality..meaning buying foods in it's simplest form and in quantity one of the best things you can do is to avoid any added sugar in your diet, and that pretty much eliminates anything 'packaged' which reminds me, btw... i found a website called 'netrition.com' that has really good prices on low carb products ....this is one of my favorites netrition.com their prices are much better than my local health food store ....for example the almond flour is less than half of the price they charge locally i recently ordered a low carb pasta that has rave reviews, i'll let you know what i think when i get them netrition.com

In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach,with green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and woman would live long and healthy lives. Then using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Ice Cream and Magnums. And Satan said "You want hot fudge with that? And Man said "Yes!" And Woman said "I'll have one too with chocolate chips". And lo they gained 10 pounds. And God created the healthy yoghurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 12 to size 14. So God said "Try my fresh green salad". And Satan presented Blue Cheese dressing and garlic croutons on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast. God then said "I have sent you healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them". And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns, butter-dipped lobster chunks and chicken fried steak, so big it needed its own platter. And Man's cholesterol went through the roof. Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with potassium and good nutrition. Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin and sliced the starchy centre into chips and deep fried them in animal fats adding copious quantities of salt. And Man put on more pounds. God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging suits. Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created the double cheeseburger. Then Satan said "you want fries with that?" and Man replied "Yes, And super size 'em". And Satan said "It is good." And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest. God sighed. And created quadruple by-pass surgery. And then Satan chuckled and created HMO's.
