Here is what I picked up this week!
You may or may not have noticed but Winners is a great place to pick up snacks and some health food supplies. You can usually find them way cheaper than a health food store. I find that over half of their stock has a clearance sticker and is usually not even close to expiring. But do check the expiry date, especially on things like nuts and seeds. Those are best bought a little fresher so they don't go rancid. Here is what I picked up this week! My favourite snacks on the go are nuts and dried fruit. If you haven't tried figs before, you need to try them. They are so good. It's my replacement to those gummy candies I used to love. And if you pair it with nuts then you don't get that glycemic/blood sugar hit. More snacks.... I've had the trail mix crunch before. They are really good with minimal ingredients. They do have some sugar in them so I try to not buy them too often. Both Ashton and I love cashews just as a snack. The pecans were a good price. Tip: buy raw nuts. Most nuts you find in the snack section of grocery stores have been roasted in an oil...and that oil is usually not the best quality (think free radicals). I haven't tried the protein chips before but based on the ingredients they are a nice alternative to regular chips and a good snack on the go or for at the beach. I've already talked about my love for hemp seeds in another post. I've been out for a few days and picked them up for $6 at Winners. I've been missing the wine and champagne a bit since becoming pregnant. Found this organic sparkling pear juice for $2. I occasionally like to buy a gluten free flour mix usually for making bread. I don't like to have it too often...but a girl needs a piece of bread once in a while.
