Grocery Haul

So I've had quite a few people ask me:

- What do you usually get when you go grocery shopping?

- Where do you go grocery shopping?

- I want to start making smoothies, what basic ingredients should i get?
- What vegies do you buy?

- What are some basic items that you buy every week?

Where

I usually just trek down (or get my mum to drive me down) to my local Safeway. 

The grocery haul pictured above is all from Safeway.

There's also a Leo's Fine Food & Wine right next to it where I pick up the more harder to find organic items, like Loving Earth products, dairy free ice cream/yoghurt, health foods, etc. (it's amazing, you should definitely check it out - they have fresh squeezed OJ everyday !)
