Other then hunting for bargains another one of my passions is cooking. I have two great taste testers at home that encourage me to cook cook cook. I love finding bargains at the grocery store and since I no longer eat red meat it has sometimes become a challenge to make unique different dishes with fish, turkey and chicken you can only eat so much of it right. Because I am the non red meat eater in the family I don't make them suffer with my decision and on occasion I will cook the family a red meat dish usually once a month. In my quest for more chicken dishes I discovered a really unique inexpensive healthier alternative grocery store. Fresh N Easy they are popping up everywhere in the OC and I noticed on my way to work that there was one in Long Beach so they are fast growing. The friendly supermarket isn't that big but they have a better quality of fresh fruits and veggies then your average grocery store def check out the fresh strawberries, apricots and cherries very sweet and reasonably priced. They also have the 98 cent bagged fruit usually oranges apples but they as well have a sweet taste and are very inexpensive. Milk eggs and cheese are all cheaper then what you would find at the grocery store I love the boneless skin less chicken breasts and there pre-seasoned fajitas are also a very good buy for the price. If you love to BBQ then check out the BBQ value packs that include hamburger, hot dogs and chicken variety packs fish is also reasonably priced and fresh. Water there bottled store brand water taste great and is a great value. Def check out there brand items such as Pizza Dough, Pesto, pre-packaged food like wings and meat loaf I heard was to die for frozan veggies and french fries are of high quality and with a low low price. Items too expensive and a watch out for are of course cleaning very expensive, paper towels dish and laundry soap you are better off going to the grocery store for all those items and boxed food. Breads are more health food orientated they don't taste like Webbers so if you want regular bread buy it at the grocery store. Def check out the pre-packaged deserts yummy! If you are looking for a semi healthy alternative to Pizza then check out this recipe I whipped up that my family of taste testers request at least every other week.
