Do you ever accidentally buy healthy food

[low-key]

If so what do you do when you find out ?

Just recently I bought some spaghetti and when I got home I seen it was "whole wheat " spaghetti, I put it in my side of the cupboard that I give to the poor

This just happened to me! I accidentally bought a box of the "lower sugar" instant oatmeal. I usually make two packets at a time, so I will just make one of the lower sugar and one of the regular until that box is used up.

I once accidentally bought a large bag of low fat dog food. My dog ate it, but less enthusiastically I noticed. When I finally saw the bag label it made sense he seemed a bit miffed. Poor dog, my bad!

Only if decaf coffee counts.

Try me best to gag it down. I’m cheap that way.

yes it does and I make that mistake often

Lol. That’s 95% of what I buy. I have cut out most processed food and try my best to eat clean. My son calls it my hippie dippie food

Whole wheat spaghetti isn't really healthy food. It's the same garbage along with all the regular pastas.

So heat it up, eat it up and enjoy!!!!

Accidentally buy the chickpea pasta and you're fulfilling the thread title.

I'm very careful to avoid anything considered healthy, natural, or organic.

Such food is only suitable for hippies, degenerates, and Communists.

I resent that you dinna include the color pink...

No, but I intentionally buy things that are healthy. If I could afford it I'd eat all organic.

My grocery store switched the produce department around, accidentally bought organic bananas!

 

[RedAngie]

Not accidentally, but one time my supermarket was out of standard cucumbers so I bought an organic one. DH made a snide comment when I told him.

I have accidentally bought "fat free" ranch dressing. Went straight into the trash. I didn't even want to be bothered with exchanging it. No one should ever eat fat free ranch.

Years ago my husband asked me to pick up a 6 pack of beer for him. Since I don’t drink beer I wasn’t sure what to get. Turns out I bought alcohol free beer. Does that count? Lol

From what I understand, fat-free anything isn't any healthier than the regular version of the food. They take out fat but add a bunch of other stuff like sugar and salt which essentially negates the benefit of "non-fat." Plus it doesn't taste as good. I can't think of anything I've accidentally bought but I've probably brought home some decaf at some point.

@low-key Jason that comment about the spot in your cupboard for poor people is funny. We have a shelf in our pantry like that.

DH does our shopping, but if he buys anything by mistake, we just fix it and leave it for the kids for after school/soccer practice. We have two teenage boys will eat nearly anything; and they eat it so fast, I doubt if they taste half of their food. Both are skinny too, but that is another thread.

When I think of hippies a lot of things pop into my head, but eating organic isn’t one of them...unless you’re talking about homegrown weed.
Eating organic has only become a fad the last few years. I do think it’s a good thing.
