Personal Narrative: Go To The Grocery Store

I will never forget when I brought some of the residents of the group home coloring books, crayons, stickers and a couple other things from Dollar Tree. They were so happy. One of them kept saying: This is for me Ms. Ashley? You got this for me? It's crazy how a $1 coloring book&stickers can make someone so happy. They didn't care that the crayons would probably break as soon as they used them. That the stickers probably didn't even stick. It was the fact that someone actually thought about them enough to buy them something. I have to admit there are days I want to call off and stay in my bed. But then I think to myself, I have someone depending on me to be there to take care of them. How would I want to be treated if I was them? How would

Renee Brooks Catacalos and Kristi Bahrenburg Janzen wrote, “Suburban Foraging: Two Families Eat Only Local,” and found that, “Price comparisons revealed that no one store was cheaper across the board” (120). They wrote this piece to inform others of their journey and some details that weren’t originally on the market. One grocery store in particular,

I have lived in only one location my entire life: Edwardsville, Illinois. A peripheral suburb of St. Louis, it stands as the rare oasis of people in a desert of corn, pinned in its own personal bubble. Due to this blend of time and isolation, I developed a natural familiarity with my hometown. But, throughout my childhood, I longed to break free from the confines of the bubble and venture outward. However, this changed last summer, as I walked through Richards Brickyard, our family heirloom, that my great-grandfather, Benjamin Richards, founded over 120 years ago. I felt these childlike sentiments slip away. The bubble that had surrounded me for so long began to vanish, and the picture that it had been obscuring was slowly revealed.

I came into your store today at around 5:30 pm. I had purchased a t.v from the electronics department, for $800.00. When I got home I noticed as soon as I took it out of the box, the base of the t.v was scratched. It wasn’t scratched badly enough for me to want to take it back, until I plugged it in and the screen was broken. I immediately called Walmart and the manager of the electronics department, and he told me it was nothing he was able to do. I couldn’t get my money back or even a new t.v to replace it. I wanted to contact you personally to see if there was anything we can set up seeing how I bought a $800.00 t.v from your store that was broke. Thanks for your time.

On May 1st, 2016 I hit the jackpot when I got hired at one of the two businesses in Findlay that wasn’t Food Service, and actually hired teenagers. Plus I got to be out on the lake and get paid for it. I thought, why not? What could go wrong? So, I got up in the morning, got dressed, and drove the two miles to work. When I pulled into the parking lot, a Jeep was there waiting for me with an older woman in it. She introduced herself as Brenda, and I learned that she would be training me. I walked with Brenda into the Marina’s main building to clock in by grabbing my time card and using a machine to stamp the time and date on it. Then, I made the fourth of a mile walk down to the water where the gas dock is. During the walk, Brenda told be about

As for beans I looked for black and kidney beans because they have the most nutrition and organic were only $0.99 a can, which is a great deal. I made sure the cucumbers and spinach were organic because they are two of the foods that should be bought organically. I added avocados to the spinach salad because it provides a healthy fat each family member can half of an avocado with their salad since they are somewhat expensive. I didn’t buy organic avocados because they were expensive and avocados don’t have to be organic because they have a hard skin and the skin doesn’t get consumed same with bananas. When I was looking for bread I made sure it was sprouted because most breads are refined and I came across Ezekiel bread. At Shoprite they were on sale for $3.99 a loaf, which is a great deal because usually they a $4.74 a loaf. I choice almond butter over peanut butter to put on the bread because almonds are a healthy choice they contain healthy fats compared to peanuts. As for afternoon snacks I choice walnuts because of their healthy fats, organic cheese or an organic

Whole Foods Market started off as being Safer Way natural grocery store in 1978. However they were not

It's a Friday afternoon, I plan to go to Great Wolf Lodge in an hour with my church. I see one of my friends so he says to his mom “ Hey, that's my friend” I said “Crap” So I go inside to sign in to go and see my friends just sitting in a corner on a big sofa. We are listening to music and just talking then a green bus comes.

It is true in life that everything happens for a reason. It is also true to say that sometimes it is all about being in the right place, at the right time. There was never a more prominent example of this than a traumatic summers evening, only a few years ago.

I attended the weekly campus farmer's market on Thursday outside Union South. It was a fairly small farmer's market as far as booth but produce like apples, beans, lettuce, and different canned goods like jam and salsa could be bought. If I remember correctly there were about 4-5 different booths set up. I bought some really delicious apples and sampled some salsas. This experience/event may not seem like a big deal to some people, but I really enjoyed the chance to buy different fresh fruits and vegetables then the dining halls offer while supporting the local economy. It was something that was beneficial to just wander around and witness not necessarily buy anything.

The media have always had a huge influence on everything in society both negatively and positively. There is no telling that everything said in the media is true, because the media can often be biased. The media becomes biased when it emphasizes one specific point of view in a way that breaches the ethics of journalism professionally. For instance, in a case study by two scientists, Michaels & Knappenberger (2013), they stated:

The topic of sexuality naturally creates a firestorm for debate. Many in the American public, as well as people worldwide consider the topic of sex and or sexuality to be taboo. The approval of forms of sexual expression that are deemed to be outside of the “normal” have been slow to gain acceptance in the mainstream culture. However, the influence of pop culture has begun to change many views on what exactly is normal. The acceptance of different forms of sexuality is in large part due to pop culture.

One day Jane was going grocery shopping for her siblings and herself on a Sunday before the week started. She grocery shopped a few miles outside of her own town. Soon Jane pulled up to the store HEB along with her four siblings Jay, Jeremy, Jeremiah, and John ( all boys ). When they entered the store, Jane made sure she had all her brothers with her and began to shop. Jeremy, the oldest brother, always put stuff in the basket without permission but not this week. Jane made sure they knew for sure that they only had $100 this week. Jeremy didn’t care he did whatever he wanted and put anything in the basket. He didn’t know that every time he put it all in that Jane was removing it one by one.

Most of us have a farmer's market close enough to us that we can make it there. It's important to go to these markets or buy from our local farmers. Why? Well, for one, they sell all those healthy foods that we should be eating. And those foods are in season, which means they are fresh and are not covered in preservatives to make them last longer than they should.

Whole Foods Market obtains its products from places all over the world. The food is brought in from organic farmers and food artisans. Once the food reaches the stores, it is warehoused on site and sold directly to the consumers of the target market. The delivery of the products to the consumers is done through direct sales at the stores. The stores are located in markets where consumers’ interests are in organic and healthy food choices. Whole Foods Market gains access to the products it sells through “…the careful judgment of buyers throughout the company” (Whole Foods Market, 2007, para. 2). Whole Foods Market is a strong advocate of organic farming and purchases many products directly from the organic farmers (Whole Foods Market, 2007).
