dancerjodiMy boss has recently gone through a health transformation of sorts, and told us about a smart phone app from these folks http://www.fooducate.com/. Brian and I have been having fun using it at the supermarket on any processed foods we are considering buying.
Foods are rated A-F, with A being the best and F the worst. It helped us at BJs to find some good breakfast cereal options (yes processed isn't best, but sometimes you just don't have the time to cook some oatmeal or some eggs).
Today's realization: there aren't any good granola bars, least that I could find scanning for a bit at Stop and Shop this morning. The best I could find was a C rating (Cascadian Farms organic) which was at least better than most of the bars that were Ds and Fs. Time for better easy snack options. I think Brian will need to get used to eating pieces of fruit and that kind of thing. He had such unhealthy foods as a kid that just grabbing an apple or that kind of thing doesn't seem like "food" to him. :)

Date: 2012-09-20 05:25 pm (UTC)BJs has the cheapest organic milk and cold cuts (but they don't have nitrate free cold cuts)
Whole Foods has good bulk stuff, nitrate free cold cuts, good produce but the $
Shaws/Star has a great selection of cheaper organic baby food, but their produce and other things are iffy. Some is cheap and other stuff isn't.
We gave Market Basket a try: selection of what we buy was limited or expensive that the cheap didn't balance the expensive. Plus, it is in Burlington.
We are just taking it week by week. The Shaws next to Job Lot, across from her play group and a block over from BJs and Stop and Shop close to home give us a lot of options.
And then there is the 'we need Target diapers so we'll just buy whatever grocery options they have there' quandry.
Silly stuff. It is good to have choices and all, but sometimes it makes it more confusing. :)
