What makes me crazy(er) is the short shelf life of produce after you bring it home. It gets back to the days of shopping every day for perishables so you don't just end up throwing it away a day later. We go to Trader Joes (Great store!) about once a month to stock up on some things - it's about a half hour away. Sam's Club for some bulk purchases even though I HATE Wal-Mart. (Guess that makes me a hypocrite). Put in a big garden this year - those veggies don't go bad in a day, and the flavor is fantastic. We have the large grocery chains locally, but it always seems that I'm leaving the store checking the receipt and wondering "how the **** did the total get THAT high?.
