What I'm Putting In My Grocery Cart This Week.

I don't exactly go go clockwise or counterclockwise. Sometimes i start at one side of the store, sometimes at the other. Most of them have enough doors that one can do that. I zig zag back and forth within the store, and sort of amble around. Sometimes I go back to a part of the store where I was before.
Writing this, I'm starting to understand why my brother used to complain about me taking so long at the grocery store, even when I was only there for a couple of things!
 
I like to have a variety of types of beans, because while beans are so nutritious that they get there own section on the MyPlate website (entitled "beans, a unique food), different types of beans vary from other types in the proportions of different vitamins/minerals that they offer. For instance. black beans are high in iron (if you need that), while white beans are high in potassium. I've just been fascinated by how varieties of one type of food vary nutritiously from different varieties of the same type of food.

Also when you eat beans with rice you get all 8 essential amino acids.
 
I'm kind of living rough right now. Most of my diet is crackers, clif bars, and hotel bagels and fruits. My parents drop by sporadically with my requests that they consider reasonable This week will be like the last five or six weeks... hummus, lentil beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, and canned vegetables.
I'm so tired of trying to make my 3000$/year stipend sound live-able. I'm a vegetarian, so perhaps I'm being a bit of a complainer.
Just wait until I'm finished moving. I'm going to have exotic vegetarian spoils once my first check comes in my new state.
