And beef jerky for snacks<br \/>\nbetween high-carb meals?&nbsp; I spend more money when I shop a store for the first<br \/>\ntime.&nbsp; I went in today knowing that I would pick up a few extra<br \/>\nthings.&nbsp; It comes down to new ways of seeing products, I think.&nbsp; Or<br \/>\nmaybe it results from new products.&nbsp; I&#8217;m a ritual grocery shopper. Aisle by<br \/>\ntedious aisle, I usually stroll through Bressette&#8217;s Sun Fresh every other Sunday<br \/>\npicking out the bare essentials for meals.&nbsp; But in a new store, like the<br \/>\none we shopped today, I discover unforeseeable combinations.&nbsp; Like at the<br \/>\ndeli counter for example, I picked up a pound of chicken barbeque for sandwiches<br \/>\ntonight, since the Sunday evening meal is the start of the new weekly cycle.&nbsp; Barbeque, brussels sprouts and various pickled garnishes&#8211;cukes and<br \/>\nbeets.&nbsp; Why not?<\/p>\n<p>The store: like all new stores, it was a spectacle of consumptive<br \/>\nsplendor.&nbsp; High shelves, bright lights, and none of the dusty, uncirculated<br \/>\nproducts nobody ever buys&#8211;such as <i>blue<\/i> corn chips or ham and bean box<br \/>\nmeals.&nbsp; Surprising sight:&nbsp; two men wheeling laptop carts with corded<br \/>\nscanner wands through the aisles&#8211;different aisles&#8211;to record the inventory and<br \/>\ninform the backroom about barren shelves.&nbsp; When I worked in a grocery, we<br \/>\nactually pulled all of the back stock onto the floor during the night,<br \/>\nforce-shelved as much as would fit, then carted it all back.&nbsp; Night after<br \/>\nnight.&nbsp; That was twelve years ago. <\/p>\n<p>When we approached the check-out, I saw three familiar students scanning<br \/>\ngroceries.&nbsp; I chose lane nine where B., a student from Nairobi who I got to<br \/>\nknow last semester, was pushing clientele and their products through the<br \/>\nline.&nbsp; I met B. in a class called <i>Reading and Culture for International<br \/>\nStudents<\/i>.&nbsp; And now, today, in our new local Price Chopper, I felt my<br \/>\nteaching shrink momentarily.&nbsp; Although it was bent on critical reading and<br \/>\ncultural critique, something about the experience of reading American culture<br \/>\nthrough the checkout line, through the products and purchasing habits of the<br \/>\nupwardly affluent and economically safe (right, why was <i>I<\/i> shopping <i>there<\/i>?),<br \/>\nwell, it seemed unusually powerful, unusually telling.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not a bad store, as stores go.&nbsp; Unlike others places where I tried them once and<br \/>\nnever went back, the Price Chopper up the street has potential to attract my<br \/>\nbi-weekly stroll-grab.&nbsp; Heck, they even have Vernors (Michigan native<br \/>\nginger ale; I had it every time I was sick as a kid&#8211;every time).&nbsp; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>A new local grocery store celebrated its grand opening earlier this week.&nbsp; Today was my turn for getting the food that will fuel our upcoming week, so after Ph.&#8217;s scrimmage (is there such a problem as basketball poison?
