Ned's efficient shopping trip
It being necessary to drive to the Honda dealer to get a part replaced on Ned's 1992 Civic (a classic and not for sale), Ned, upon leaving the dealer, drove a short distance--perhaps a mile, to his local Trader Joe's, where he purchased a half gallon of his favorite vegetable juice, low-salt Garden Patch. He then drove a further half-mile to his local Grocery Outlet, which carries excellent, healthful, organic whole grain chips. He purchased a bag of Beanitos (see a pervious post) and a bag of whole grain flax, brown rice and whatever chips, both loaded with fiber and protein and with almost no salt. Then a mile and a bit further to his local Fred Meyer, where he purchased some wild caught coho salmon (six bucks a pound), three organic navel oranges (99 cents a pound), and four organic bananas (99 cents a pound). Then, since Ned's local co-op was directly on the way home, he stopped there to put in an hour of work, and bought some organic zucchini (he forgets the cost but they were on sale), an onion, and a couple of Cameo apples from Washington. Then he returned home, to set out again later on his bike to pay his f***ing property taxes.
