Funny Reactions

I just love the way grocery clerks look at me when checking me out (...that sounds funny….). For example, last night I bought 20 avocadoes, 10 pounds of bananas, and another 25+ pounds of various fruits and veggies. I swear, she looked at me like I was crazy and asked, as she was scanning me, “HOW many avocadoes do you have here?” :o)

Do you have any funny grocery store stories?

I get funny reactions quite often, especially when buying grapes. I sometimes buy 10 pounds at a time, and when they’re on sale I go crazy (they’re not the cheapest item here)!! I have often gotten from the cashier OR the person behing me in line this comment: “Are you making wine?” And I reply: “I actually don’t drink. I just love grapes”.

Some cashiers are quite considerate, and tell me the price of the grapes, then ask me if I still want them (I’ve often paid around 18$ or 24$ for them). Of course I still want them!!! From what I’ve witnessed, carnivores never hesitate on buying a 24$ steak!...

Joseegonthier – that’s what I always think too, when I have 5 pounds of walnuts and 5 pounds of almonds – no one would think it strange to have a 5 pound piece of meat in my cart! So strange how our culture views people who choose to eat naturally!

Zoe – a brochure is exactly what you need, which is why I just don’t say ANYthing about how/what/why I eat what I do.

Oh, it’s so fun to shop!! The reactions are priceless! We have 5 kids so you can imagine the amounts….We buy bags and bags of apples…25 lb bags of carrots…veggies, green, etc., you all know what I mean. The biggest (and to me funniest) question we get is, “How do you get your kids to eat that stuff?” To which one or more o the kids will say, “We like it!” or, “It’s good!” I think it’s even funnier when my kids are clamoring for grapes or carrot sticks while other kids are whining for cookies Mine ask for dried figs and dates while others ask for candy. It’s fun. So many moms have said to us, “I wish mine would eat like that.” To which we always reply, “Well they can, you know!”

Even with herbs such as dill, cilantro, basil, and even parsley. Oh yeah, can’t forget the lettuces, like kale, chickory, arugula and bockchoy.
