My favorite places to shop

Today I was thinking about how I am a creature of habit and really only shop for groceries, toiletries, and other items from a few certain places.  Occasionally I will add in new and fun places but seem to return to my tried and true finds.

For groceries you must all know where I shop (at least if you read my blog somewhat regularly!)

Yes the mother lode.

This is where Bill and I grocery shop for everything.  If it is not here, we probably don’t eat it.  Well with the exception of Tahini.  TJ’s does not sell Tahini and I have a slight addiction.

And that brings me to my second favorite place to shop for everything else.  Today I even found Tahini there :)

Seriously what can you NOT find at Target?  I love this place!

And lastly my absolute favorite online obsession is Amazon.  I seriously cannot go a week without ordering something from them.  I love that you can really research your items and get great reviews and honestly I love that California residents do not have to pay tax.  Oh and did I mention the free shipping?  LOVE!

What about you?

What are your 3 top picks for shopping?

I could use some new ideas ;)

Thank you Trader Joes

Last night Bill and I had  fabulously light and flavorful salad for dinner.

It was a delicious mix of butter lettuce, garbanzo’s, brown rice, corn, cucs, tomatoes, chicken, raw walnuts, a few raisins and this new find as our dressing.

This avocado verde salsa is delicious and I was so glad to see it did not contain sugar!  Yay for a salsa with no sugar.  Thank you Trader Joe’s :)

We served the salads with half of a brown rice tortilla.

Love!

I have found that a good low cal substitute to salad dressing is salsa.

This one was a winner.

What do you use to dress your salads?
