Recent Purchases at New Seasons

I took my biology final today and, after having a cupcake (from Back to Eden) and tea (from Townshend's) with my classmate, I went to New Seasons and enjoyed exploring the store with no time limitations.

It was really lovely.

The store wasn't too busy; I was able to sit on the floor and look at coffee mugs for about 10 minutes at one point, actually. Finally, after being there for probably about an hour, I decided to check out and leave. Here are the highlights of my grocery trip:

 
2011 Chinook Book: I finally broke down and bought it - it's $5 off through the end of the year and I figured I've bought it so many years now, I might as well continue; if you don't live in the Portland area, you can still purchase the one for your area for a discount here

Rainbow Chard: it is currently on sale, only 2/$3, and it is absolutely gorgeous! it looks so fresh and it tastes delicious. I bought some Saturday and I'm already out, so I knew I had to get more while it was still on sale

Wholesome Sweeteners Maple-flavored Agave Syrup: has anyone tried this? it's really intriguing to me, and it only has two ingredients - the agave and its flavor - so it seems to retain all the health benefits of normal agave. I'll let you know what I think after trying it in tomorrow morning's oatmeal!
