I am a Whole Foods and gourmet food market addict. I simply cannot deny how much I love it and so I'm not going to. Even when traveling I'll seek out food markets to get a taste of the culture I am visiting. It is an informative experience to see how people shop and I think you can tell a lot by what people buy. For example, if you looked in my cart you could probably gather enough evidence to determine that I am single, health conscious, and creative.

The creative options that I encounter while grocery shopping are seemingly end less. As I linger in each and every section, my mind fills with endless possibilities of culinary creations. Numerous ideas for meals and themed dinner parties circulate in my mind as my eyes take in all of the colors, smells, and textures of the gorgeous produce. Although some detest grocery shopping, I find the entire experience to be relaxing and enjoyable. Lists are rarely made and certainly never stuck to as I always walk out with something unplanned for.
I straight up admit that I spend too much money on food and that I routinely buy items that I had never heard of and probably won't even finish. I have to try a bite of everything. Every new taste is a new experience and I want to experience it all. Maple Bacon ice cream? Sounds rather disgusting and yet I still bought it. I had to try it. I took a few bites, put it back in the freezer, and never ate it again. Was the $4 that I spent on those few bites worth it? The answer is, of course, yes. My curious and creative mind finds satisfaction with these new experiences. I know what vanilla ice cream tastes like and although it is delicious, I'm always going to buy the most unusual flavor. If I don't like it, I'll ask for a bite of whatever you have.
