    I'm curious as to why you would think we'd judge your turkey.

    I'm wondering about your CoolWhip:
    WATER, CORN SYRUP, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL (COCONUT AND PALM KERNEL OILS), LESS THAN 2% OF SODIUM CASEINATE (FROM MILK), NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, XANTHAN AND GUAR GUMS, POLYSORBATE 60, SORBITAN MONOSTEARATE, SODIUM POLYPHOSPHATES, BETA CAROTENE (COLOR).

    Just my opinion, but I think you'd be better off with a serving of the real deal.
    Trans fats and glucose-fructose aren't so hot for ya.

    After Lent, my shopping cart will be 45% Cool Whip. I love that stuff. I would eat real whip cream, but I can't stomach it for some reason.

    loooool yes!... But they're really taking the michael these days drawing my attention with their red and yellow rollback signs only for me to realise they've reduced it by 15p... seriously!....

    ooh cheap broccoli... maybe I should start buying loose veg
    I saw the funniest thing in my Asda in Gillingham Dorset (I am a London girl but moved to the country some years ago) anyway, they had a HUGE sign saying ROLLBACK HUGE SAVINGS etc on some strawberries and it said : Was £2.99 now £3.49 ... think I'll try Tesco hahaha
    hahahaha....and u know what.. some poor sucker probably fell for it and just grabbed it dunked it in the trolley and didnt even look at the price... ur right.. this is why Tesco are taking over the world

    Teehee! My thoughts exactly. And I almost said something about the deli meat, but I guess it's not AS bad if it's lower sodium.

    Nice looking haul otherwise though :)

    OH! And as for grits, I also didn't know what they were! To be completely honest, I'm Canadian and a lot of us thought they were fried endtrails from chicken this whole time! Thanks for clearing this up, I'm definitely less disgusted now!!

    Yes, I guess I should've also remarked on your shopping cart pic and your thread. :flowerforyou:
    I think you've got a great looking haul of food there and I love the idea of this thread.

    Why is it that supermarkets always have sales on the stuff I'm trying to give up... whhhhhy?... but never 2 for one on sugar snap peas or a roll back on broccoli.. damn those people
    HAHA I can see you're a Asda shopper too :)

    Buahahaha! When you said "Rollback" I thought you were talking about Walmart here in the States.

    well ive never taken a pic of my grocery cart, but this is a really fun idea!

    Ive been shopping once a week so my carts are small now (i use to go only once a month).

    my last store visit: strawberries, oranges, tomato paste, tomato sauce, 1% milk, fat free shredded cheese, tostinos baked scoops, romaine lettuce, baby carrots, mushrooms, apples, & salsa. think that was it. i wont mention the donut i bought LOL

    i have no idea what malt o meal is... but i know porridge lol

    haha.. its all good.. u could judge my trolley when I post a pick... :-p

    I was about to post that you wouldn't know malt o meal- it is one of the food items I was bring back with me to Belgium from the US and it isn't even available throughout the entire US as I have learnt on a trip or 2

    it's not like porridge as you know it either - because porridge in the UK is what Americans refer to as oatmeal

    anyway for grits:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grits

    to me it is totally differen than malt o meal but really I guess cooking and consistency wise it's not all that different
    wikipedia says it is like polenta- again no, but somehow yes

    think of a corn based groats porridge and there you have it - grits can be lovely if done right and horrid if done badly

    Fun idea! I just got back from the store and dont see me going back before we move back stateside, so as soon as I get myself back into a real american grocery store, I will post pics! Im sure it wont be pretty though after 5 years of having a very small selection!

    I buy most of my stuff at the farmers market, so no shopping cart - but here is a still life I did one day when I got back from the farmers market ;-)
