                    I am one of the strange few who actually loves to go grocery shopping. I tend to buy most of my produce from local Farmer's Markets but a trip to the Grocery store is a very regular activity as well. I love finding new food ideas when I shop. It is like a treasure hunt laced with temptations and obstacles.
I eat rather "clean" and I am also a very price conscious shopper. We are always hearing that the healthy food is so much more expensive than the junk and that is a leading contributor to obesity. I know that you can eat well on a budget. (Trust me...I am a single Mom of 2 teenaged boys!) I think education and learning what to do with foods is a key to healthy eating.
So I was wondering....what has your best grocery store or market find been recently? Mine was Fresh Tilapia at the local Asian Market.I selected the fish I wanted and the fellow working there cleaned it and got it ready for me to bring home and cook. It was only $2.06!! How can you beat that for fresh fish??!! The choices at an Asian market are phenomenal! There are so many things there that I have never seen before that it is great to see all the different varieties if food.
I cooked my Tilapia on the BBQ. I added sea salt, black pepper, garlic, fresh parsley and lemon. Wrapped it in tin foil and put it on the grill. It only took about 8 minutes to cook.
