Assignment 2: Shopping for Mac&Cheese (Part I)

Shopping usually takes place after my work and picking up my son from his preschool. Today, we stopped at one of our favorite grocery stores: Whole Foods. This branch is very small but on our way home and conveniently located on the right side of the road.

To my surprise, the store has rearranged the product display. Mac&Cheese used to be with the crackers and spices, but now they put it in the baby food aisle, right next to the diapers and ego-friendly cleaning products. It took me some time to find it.


Looking through the whole area of mac&cheese was truly enjoyable. I love all their box designs! all very cute and colorful. We chose our usual item, Annie's shell mac&cheese. But then I looked up and saw Whole Foods' store brand, 365 Organic (or something like that) was cheaper, for 99 cents. So we picked up a couple of the store brand too. Never tried it before, but the price was good. I am not so much of a store brand person. I usually stay away from store brand products because the quality is not as good as name brands. But the only exception I make is Whole Foods' and Trader Joe's own brands.


So here're some of the rest of the groceries we bought from today's trip:
- French baguette
- Organic bananas, Fiji apples and string beans (not shown on this picture)
- Apple sauce (it was an unexpected purchase because my son saw it and asked for it)
