Grocery Haul

I was planning on doing a cooking video yesterday. I edited the video fifty million times and it messed up every single time, so I'm going to edit it again, and if it doesn't work I'm going to find a new video editor. So, today I'm doing something different : A grocery haul.

A lot of people ask me what I eat on a daily basis so I figured I would share what I buy for a half-weeks' worth groceries. Since we have moved to the city, we find it easier to pick up fresh stuff a few times a week, instead of doing big shops. We try to eat as healthy as we can, but I'm not going to refuse a fresh white baguette over a whole wheat one or regular pasta over more expensive whole grain pasta. Food is food and it is very expensive now, so you take what you can get. BUT - I do not buy over processed, deep fried food, it is not my thing, nor healthy! I hope you guys enjoy the haul and let me know what you guys buy on your regular grocery shops.

 This haul is pretty much all from Pete's, my favorite store!
 Our yummy baguette, fresh from the oven. It was still warm!
 Watermelon quarters are definitely a cheaper alternative to buying a whole watermelon right now. It was $1.50 for this quarter.
 Fresh vine tomatoes are fabulous right now! The garlic was almost as big as the tomatoes. I picked the smallest one I could too!
 I was very excited to find local mushrooms and some white potatoes!
 My favorite tagliatelle nests ever and some crumpets. Mark and I love crumpets for lunch!
 Amazing fresh basil pesto, made at presto pasta works. The noodles in the other container are Singapore curry cold noodles from presto and are super delicious.
 Mark`s favorite veggie!
 Delicious fresh guacamole. I hate making it myself because I never think it`s as good as someone elses`, and Mark discovered he liked it, so we bought a tub. It is ridiculously expensive though.
And last, but definitely not least! Italian soda. It has less than half the sugar of regular soda and so much better! And it was only $1.99 a bottle on sale!


I hope you all enjoyed my grocery haul and if you`d like to see more let me know! 

Until next time, 

Jacqueline
