Digital Hunter and Gatherer

Living in a rural town , my grocery options are lacking, pathetic, quite limited.  But for many ingredients that are needed for yummy Paleo recipes, my grocery options are non-existent.  The nearest food co-op is 30 minutes and with this painfully annoying, Mother Nature of her rocker, interesting winter weather we have had lately, I haven't had time to make it to pick up what I need.

So, I decided I would try to bring hunting and gathering to the digital age.  I call it 'Digital Hunting and Gathering' (along with Pinterest, I also have a romance with Amazon).  We have had Amazon Prime forever and I thought I would search to see just what I could find.  When I told this story to some friends, they were a little shocked that I bought food on Amazon, but that I did!  I hunted and gathered from the comfort of my bed!

With Amazon Prime's fabulous free 2-day shipping, I ordered on Monday and my delivery was at my door yesterday...it was really quite magical.  For less than $25, I was able to get a 2-lb bag of Arroowroot Flour (I've been dying to make Paleo wraps with this), a case of 18 Larabars (a hopefully yummy on-the-goLEO snack/meal) and Kale chips.  Amazon's picture previews for food allowed me to read the nutrition label and the ingredients which was super helpful.

I plan to continue to use my new digital hunting and gathering method for supplies as well as recipes from my bestie,  Pinnie (we are officially on a nickname basis).

This is my story.  My PaleOMG story.
