What are all the ways that you get food? Mine are: Grocery stores small stores Farmer's Market Roadside stand Relatives, Friends and acquaintances give to me Grow some and harvest Gather some wild Invited to dinner trade or barter out to eat at a fast food restaurant out to eat at a sit down restaurant This past couple of weeks, I was invited out to eat 2xs. Once a friend invited my husband and I over to her house. She made us a nice dinner. Chicken in a non-tomato sauce, beans, and corn and a plum tart for desert. She was saying that a mutual friend of ours is going door to door and asking people if they're just going to let the fruit on their trees rot or can he pick it? She said he's really done very well that way. Another one, my job coach paid for my lunch at a diner. I ordered a veggie omlette with hole wheat toast. My husband was going to throw out some video tapes, I told him a friend of mine needed blank video tapes, but he would be happy to re-record over those and not to throw them out. So my husband said, "Sure." My friend was so happy to get them, but didn't want to take anything for free that, he gave us a whole bunch of potatoes. So what are the various ways that you get food?

We purchase our food at the grocery store or farmers' markets they have down here. I don't believe I've ever traded anything to get food. But that sounds like a wonderful idea. We go out to dinner twice a week and maybe go to Dunkin Donuts for coffee in the morning sometimes. Right now we are limiting that due to trying to lose a little more weight (bummer!). My mom occasionally gives me a food item or I make a dish and take her part of it. That's about as close as I get to getting food in ways other than buying it at the store.

I wish my Mom was alive so we could trade food. Sometimes my sister in law and brother as well as my husband and I trade food. We bring stuff or invite each other over. Thanks and take care.
