Ever since watching Food, Inc. I have been considering shopping at Whole Foods, but haven't because of price. I did shop at Whole Foods pretty much exclusively when I lived in Boulder, CO and I know that they do have sales. Turns out I didn't need to weigh my options because a lovely little place, Sprouts Farmers Market, opened just a couple miles away from my house.
The prices were out of this world. I totally understand that part of the reason these sales are amazing is because it's a brand new opening, but they were so low, I bought over a weeks worth of groceries for under $50. Some of the prices were:
1 lb of Pasta = $1
2lb of Pears = $1
1 extra large box of cereal = $1
5 lb bag of potatoes = $1
Large bottle of olive oil = $6.99

A couple of days ago, Aaron and I bought some avocados, but they weren't ripe. We stuck them in a paper bag, and two of them are ready and ripe and ready to go. An avocado is ready when you squeeze it and it's slightly soft. Enjoy this delicious, easy recipe that Aaron and I found in a book called Just 4 Things
