    I’ve mostly stopped buying middle isle grocery store items for this very reason. On the plus side I have been cooking more to make up the snack deficit. Tastes better for sure.

      When I started low carb I began to realize just how much of the middle store aisles are just different forms of starch and flavorings at a ridiculous markup.

      I’ve started buying precut, frozen hash browns (loose, not patties). Take a few minutes to cook them but I can have a big old plate of hash browns with salt, pepper, and ketchup any time I want. It’s like having a diner in my kitchen.
