Where Do You Buy Whole Grains?

091012-redmill.jpg Where do you find whole grains other than Whole Foods? Health food stores are a great option if there's one in your area, but we're curious, where do you shop for these new-but-old menu items for less than $8 per pound?!

Growing up my grandparents belonged to a food co-op where everything came in large bins and was self serve. This seems to be a thing of the past and lately I am having trouble tracking down my whole grains without paying an arm and a leg for them.

Often you can find deals at Indian, Asian, Mediterranean, or Latin American markets if you know what you're looking for or what it's called in another language. Health food markets are an option, but lately they don't seem to be quite as cheap as they once were.

Where are you doing your shopping for these healthy nuggets of joy? Share your tips and city in the comments below!

How Far Do You Travel For Groceries?

091012-groceries.jpgHaving grown up in Kansas City it wasn't uncommon for me to make a 40-minute trip to my local Whole Foods. Now living in Chicago there's a market on every corner and major grocery stores within an easy mass transit commute, but this weekend I still found myself driving 40 minutes to the suburbs. How far do you travel for groceries?

Although Chicago is littered with markets serving up international foods and things that might be hard to find in other parts of the country, there are a few specialty stores that serve all the Asian or Latin ingredients you could desire all under one roof. A recent trek out to the city of Niles landed me in just such a place.

I'm more than willing to travel to find exact ingredients to make a new dish, and even though I'm probably not making that journey every week, that doesn't mean I won't make the drive every few months for a few special items.

Friends think I'm ridiculous as they never leave the neighborhood for groceries and just eat what they can find around them. How do you find ingredients? Do you head to the local chain grocer no matter the distance? Shop the local corner store even if it's a little sketchy? Make long trips to the suburbs in the name of fresh tofu and live snails? Let us know below!
