Week 2 Shopping Trip

- Bag of organic Romaine lettuce
- 3 cans of organic Garbanzo Beans
- 1 jar of tahini
- 3 limes
- 1 lemon
- 1 bag of Terra chips
- Gallon of milk
- A really small piece of cheese that was $27.99 a pound
- 1 red bell pepper (grown in Canada)
- 1 quart of Michigan strawberries
- 2 pounds of marinaded skirt steak from Dos Hermanos
- A bunch of cilantro (Dos Hermanos)
- A package of whole wheat pita bread
- 2 bunches of organic bananas (grown in Ecuador)
- A loaf of 3 seed bread bread from the Food Co Op

Total haul: $80

Realization of the week: In order to eat locally (completely) someone living in Michigan would have to give up a LOT of stuff. Mangoes. Avacado. Bananas. I'm thinking this is more of a guideline than a rule.
