This was a trip!~!
It's not actually April 1 yet, but I think I did pretty good - I have to admit shopping at Roots Market http://rootsmkt.com/ does make grocery shopping a bit easier - Roots is committed to providing local products - but not everything they have is local or made in USA -- although at least what they do import is fair trade. I didn't buy fresh blueberries because they were from Chile - instead I got frozen blueberries (wild) from Maine! I managed to find yogurt - but the brand made in New York which I bought only had two flavors so I stocked up on plain yogurt and decided to try my hand at using my raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries to flavor my own -- we'll see how it works!
So here's my list of buys -- I've included a few web links for some of the products as well!
