Sunday means…

March 27, 2011 by Hillary 8 Comments

waking up in clean sheets.

making muffins in a quiet kitchen while the roommates are soundly sleeping [recipe on the way!].

running in the park with a girlfriend before the rain arrives.

the weekly trip to Trader Joe’s and Safeway.

Safeway!? Honestly, I am not a huge fan of said chain market. I can attribute this to my privileged upbringing of having local, natural food cooperatives and farmers’ markets a mere few blocks away from home. Strolling the aisles of highly-commercialized food products doesn’t fancy my interest; that being said, I am a Club Member and will occasionally rush through the Americanized grocery to score a decent deal or two.

Recently, I was contacted to see if I’d be interested in noting my experience with the company’s  SimpleNutrition program by way of a generous “ticket” of $50 to use at the store. [What college student rejects free groceries!?] Since receiving the card, I’ve made two separate trips to Safeway and have yet to zero my gifted balance. I am, on the other hand, pleased to see the shelves adorned with informative health claims to assist shoppers in making better nutrition choices.

About the program:

Here’s what you’ll find in our stores:

  • Tags highlighting up to two key nutrient and ingredient benefits. Items featuring a nutrient benefit are first screened against our SimpleNutrition program criteria. Items that pass the criteria are further evaluated to determine whether they qualify for a SimpleNutrition benefit shelf tag.
  • Nutrition benefit tags include Made with Whole Grains, Sodium Smart, Good Source of Fiber, Low in Fat, Good Source of Calcium and many more. You’ll also find products tagged with benefits such as Gluten Free and Organic. Look for the green tags while you shop!
  • Affordable choices with our Everyday Low Prices and Club Card Specials.

Here’s what you’ll find on our website:

  • Money-saving tips. These tips are delicious, nutritious and easy on the wallet, too.
  • Recipes. Get great tasting recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner right here.
  • Nutrition Center. Our Nutrition Experts answer many common questions, plus you can browse our Nutrition Guide and review articles on health and nutrition.

Are you a Safeway [or sister store] shopper? If so, has the SimpleNutrition program been of use to you?

Sunday means…

editing my restaurant review and studying the diets of upper and lower GI diseases.

 

Until next time!

    The farmer’s market, Trader Joe’s, and Whole Foods are the places I hit up most for groceries. However, sometimes I use Kroger (our local chain—we don’t have Safeway) for certain produce sales (or if I forgot something on my weekend shopping trip that that they have in the “healthy” section). The SimpleNutrition Program seems like a great idea to help the average consumer make healthier choices. I hope more stores adopt a similar program of being aware. Every step counts!

    Have a lovely day!

    Sounds like a wonderful Sunday to me! Especially the trip to Trader Joe’s. We don’t have Safeway here but the Star Market down the street has a good section of all natural, organic foods.

    I’m not a Safeway shopper – but that’s because we don’t really have them here. Either way, I usually get most things from Whole Foods or SunFlower Market! If we had a Trader Joe’s, I think I’d probably only ever shop there… maybe someday! Glad you had a good (relaxing) Sunday!

    I do most of my shopping at Trader Joe’s but stop at Safeway about every other week to get stuff that TJ’s doesn’t carry (Chobani, plastic wrap, muffin cups, etc.). I’ll have to look into this program a little more.

    I usually shop at our local health food store, The Good Food Store. It’s hard to find really good bargains, but putting your money where your values are is important, IMO.

    What did you think of their SimpleNutrition program? Did they help you make better choices or were they more like all the front of the box claims that don’t always mean anything?

    Man I wish they’d send me $50!

    50 dollars for groceries is just about the best thing ever!

❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣

We want to hear from YOU: Who has been your supportive soul sister through the ups and downs of 2020? ⁣⁣
