Where do u grocery shop and why?
Where do you grocery shop and what do you like/dislike about where you shop? If you shop at more than one place, why? I do the bulk of my grocery shopping (staples) at Walmart because it's close to my house and its a pretty inexpensive place to stock up on staples, and since I have 2 teenagers, I like to SAVE MONEY on…

just getting started
I just found this site yesterday and am getting started. I was going to join Weight Watchers online (I did Weight Watchers one other time after my daughter was born and had success) but then I found this and it's free so I decided to do it instead of WW. I don't have any friends on MFP right now and would be happy to have…
