Price comparisons

Yesterday, Carlos and I (sans Kira who was off with Papa and Mimi for the weekend) went to Tijuana Flats over by USF and got a Carnitas chimichanga and chips and queso...yummy! We'd never had the carnitas version before and really loved it, definitely our favorite! We had a great time being just the 2 of us. It reminded us of when I was pregnant with Kira, we were both working at home and could just get up and go whenever we want. It was one of the best times of our marriage.

After lunch we went to Abbey's Health and Nutrition and Whole Foods to check out their prices and compare them to Chuck's and Nutrition S'Mart that we checked out last week. Overall, My favorite place is definitely Whole Foods. They have the best selection, the best produce, a cafe, yummy samples. However, the best prices are generally at Nutrition S'Mart. Abbey's was good, they had stuff there that I hadn't seen elsewhere. I've heard from others that they are very knowledgeable. Chuck's is ok too, but their produce is generally the worst and it "feels" messier than the others. For us, Chuck's is the most conveniently located and a great thing about them is that they have 20-50% off everything in the store on Super Tuesday, which is the second Tuesday of the month. The price savings otherwise, though, definitely warrant an occasional trip to Nutrition S'Mart.

There were some snacks at Whole Foods that I definitely want to try. I can't wait! They were generally a mix of different seeds (flax, sunflower, pumpkin) and fruits (dates, raisins). I will post my experiments as I try them.
