Fiber is my friend
Eating whole grains reduces your risk of developing bowel disorders, cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, high cholesterol, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. With a list of benefits like that, it really makes spending the extra dollar for whole grain pasta seem that much cheaper. What's more, I can barely tell the difference in taste when I'm eating whole grain pasta. It's a little nuttier, but if it's covered in sauce, who can really tell? The Safeway O Organics brand of whole wheat pasta is pretty inexpensive, and easy to find. Spaghetti got better.

Fiber is a friend to all of us, young & old. However, Safeway is not!
I know there is sometimes no alternative place to shop, but if there is, it is far better to support local, independent stores.
People assume that the giant supermarkets are cheaper, but upon true comparison, the opposite is often the case.
Furthermore, if there are whole food stores, they often sell grains in bulk, and this is the cheapest way of purchasing grains, and also helps cut down on the packaging - much more sustainable!
