My daughter (Retro Housewife Goes Green) and I did our monthly grocery shopping trip last week. It probably sounds crazy but once a month we drive to Norman or Oklahoma City to stock up on groceries. The thing is, our access to organic food is pretty limited here in our small town. It’s a lot of work but we make it fun, too. We always go out to lunch first. This time we tried a new-to-us place in OKC called Tap Werks. We both ordered the fish and chips and they were exceptionally good!
So here’s what I bought:
Sprouts
- limes
- garlic
- apples
- grapes
- potatoes
- onions
- celery
- red bell peppers
- corn on the cob
- bananas
- romaine lettuce
- mixed greens
- coconut pineapple juice
- spaghetti
- chocolate chips
- sea salt popcorn
- bbq potato chips
- sea salt chips
- cereal
- yogurt
- sliced roast beef
- sliced turkey
- smoked gouda
- frozen french fries
- lipstick
- makeup brushes
Natural Grocers
- ice cream
- yogurt
- corn tortillas
- automatic dishwasher tabs
- refried beans
- orange essential oil
- chicken broth
- Earl Grey tea
- cookies
- pasta
Whole Foods
- tissues
- tortilla chips
- pickle relish
- black pepper (bulk)
- onion powder (bulk)
- butter
- patchouli goat milk soap
- pork chops
- whole chicken
- deli ham

- loaf of Tuscan bread
- baguette
- liquid hand soap refill
- oranges
- lemons
- cheese flavored popcorn
- Klean Kanteen

And here’s a picture of all that:
After we finished our shopping, Lisa treated me to some frozen yogurt. It was a sweet way to end a busy but pleasant day with my daughter.
Lisa says
How do you keep your cold stuff cold after shopping? Do you take an ice chest with you?
Deanna Piercy says
We each have several insulated bags and we buy ice when we get to the city.
Lisa Sharp says
It’s a much better way to shop and I enjoy our time together!
Deanna Piercy says
I agree. It’s nice to get it all done at once and it really is fun to spend the day together.
Tori says
We do a monthly shop for non-perishable items, then buy the rest locally.
Sounds like you had a nice outing, and got a great grocery haul!
Deanna Piercy says
It really was a nice day. We always enjoy our time together. 🙂
