Q: Have concerns about consuming too many carbohydrates changed your eating habits? How (buying more low-carb or diet products, eating less bread or pasta, etc.)?

A:

My husband is on South Beach, so I started watching my carbs, as well. I buy low-carb bread and bagels.

Q: What is your most common impulse purchase in the supermarket?

A: My impulse purchases are usually snack foods, or maybe a magazine or paperback book.

Q: How often would you say you do not find what you are looking for in your supermarket?

A: Every week there are things I can't find. The store runs out, and it's months and months before they get it in again.

Q: Do you try food samples when you see them in the aisle, and has sampling ever led to purchasing the product? Do you remember what that product was?

A: I try samples only if it's something I like, but I don't recall ever buying anything I sampled.
