Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 Tink, Don't know what to tell you about produce (maybe grow some stuff?) but when you do go " into town " to do more major shopping maybe you can freeze some things like the bread items. I can get fresh stuff but still pitas would go bad too fast. So I freeze them a few together and then put them in my fridge when I run out (just zap the cold ones in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds) Stefanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 Tinkle, Oh man that does suck. And produce here in Ontario is expensive in alot of spots. But it's awesome produce. I liked s suggestion of growing some. Lettuce and tomatoes are pretty easy... But the ham....uhhhh we might have a problem with you making your own ham!

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 Tinkle, I feel your pain. My town is in the middle of nowhere. We have two stores and one gym. Do you think you can find anything healthy? We have to drive an hour for ww pitas and tortillas. And forget extra lean ground beef.....folks around here like " the real stuff " ...and it shows. Udo's? If I asked about that, they would commit me. Arrrrghhhh. And they only have lowfat cottage cheese half the time.....no consistency whatsoever......and don't even get me started on the gym.....OH, to have choices! I miss my college town . Anyway, just thought your misery may want some company . -Tiffiny > Geez...I went to the store today to pick up some produce, and it was > horrible.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 Oh goodness..didn't realize there is a Tink and a Tinkle on this list! What's the odds??? Now I'm gonna have to wade back through some posts to see who is who LOL.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 Tinkle & Tiffiny, Boy, can I relate! I grew up and went to undergrad in upstate New York and then my parents moved to a small town in Mississippi and I wound up in an even smaller town in Mississippi in grad school. What a shock! It's amazing what sort of produce and grocery selection you can take for granted. Although I have to admit that I don't think I have it as bad as you too, and the selection is improving down here as the town expands. Where are y'all from? Zoe > Tiffiny > Glad I'm not the only one out in Tim-Buck-Too LOL...it sux big time. I want a watermelon so bad I can't stand it. Won't have any in around here until next month!! I don't even have a gym here. Just last year they actually built a walking track around the park LOL. It has one semi-hill to it. Oh yea, that's a workout. I agree about the Udo's though.....if I did ask about it, they'd probably tell me they'd be getting it in on Monday LOL (and they would have NO idea what I was talking about). It's like this....people look at you like " Geez, don't she think she's somebody buying all that healthy stuff " ...Like I have a plague LOL...thanks for the company > Tinkle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 I was amazed at how high the prices of produce have soared over the years. Do you have any Farmers markets near you? We get some great deals at the Farmers Market. Sometimes there isn't a large variety, so I end up eating the same fruit or veggie for the week, but at least it tastes good Colleen > Geez...I went to the store today to pick up some produce, and it was > horrible.
