Each number on a fruit or vegetable tells you what department it goes threw. Clerks just look at the number of the fruit or vegetable if they forget it. I just started my job at the market and am trying to learn more about the plu's if anyone has the sheet about it let me know.

I have a question...what do you know about tea leaves? I must confess i am tea addict and lately i've become a bit suspicious about those tea bags we consume daily . Those famous english brands may be more reliable (won't give names here) , but I'm still suspicious. Any suggestions? Thanks! Hi Mark!

Here's my smart shopper tip: If your grocery store has self-checkout lanes you can pull a little trick and save some coin. When You pick out your bag of organic grapes or cherrys or any product that you have to punch in the PLU# with, find the code for the conventional product. This trick hasnt failed me yet, try it out Great Post.

Because EVERYONE bought bananas. And those stickers? We eat a lot of fruit, especially our sons, and for awhile I swear those stickers were part of our decorating scheme - they ended up all over our kitchen floor!

I like to know what the recommended protein intake for an athlete is. I've heard anywhere from 0.6 lb per "lean body mass" to 1 - 2 gram per lb of body weight. I also read that maximum digestible protein per meal is 50g, is that true? per your request on recommended content. I like to know what the recommended protein intake for an athlete is.
