I like being able to go grocery shopping and not feel that I'm fighting a thousand people.

I'll go grocery shopping at the farmer's market on a Sunday and already know what I'm going to cook for the next two, three or four days.

For a while I couldn't leave the house by myself. Even if I was just grocery shopping alone, I'd get self-conscious.

If the grocery store you go shopping at suddenly has a number of different wholesalers for produce, then with the competition between the wholesalers you may end up with cheaper produce. But the individual shopper doesn't see the wholesaler.

I was embarrassed. I was humiliated. I would do my grocery shopping at 3 in the morning. I would not go out during the daylight because I felt people were laughing at me, staring at me.

It's not like it's hard to be decent and respectful and well-behaved. I do wait in line, and I do take the subway, and I do do my own grocery shopping, and I do take the kids to school.
