LivFit: Becoming a better grocery shopper

1. As a general rule of thumb, shop the perimeter — not the aisles. The aisles are a trap for pre-packaged foods, ingredients you can’t pronounce, man-made junk and nutrition without a shelf life (weird, you’re eating something that never goes bad. Seems legit? No.) Try to avoid the aisles. Obviously you can’t do this for everything, but the majority of foods should come from the perimeter of the store which is the food preserved by a fridge, cooler or freezer.

Repurpose Project creatively reuses junk otherwise headed to the landfill

Inside the soft blue 3,000 square-foot warehouse, aisles that ran the length of the shop held numerous customers. Sarah Goff, co-founder and co-owner of the project, was the first to catch my attention. She asked if I needed help. We cordially talked for a minute until Mike Myers, the other co-founder and co-owner, could manage a break from the hustle and bustle.
