Grocery Shopping II: The Why of it all

.. or, all of it that I can remember, anyway:

Grapeseed oil - I don't remember why this seemed like a good idea, besides it being on sale. I mean, I did read good things about it, before, but, a long time ago.
"The linoleic acid in grape seed oil can reduce complications from diabetes when added to the diet." So, there is a bit of benefit to it, at least.


Tends to go bad, easier than many oils, so, should be kept refrigerated. Probably won't be buying this again, but, one never knows. Sometimes it is good to have an extra bit of variety.

Potatoes - Forgot to mention them, but, I did buy them, as well. I wasn't going to, was going to quit them mostly altogether, but, I read that they are a rich source of magnesium and I need magnesium.

1 large white potato (3" - 4-1/2" in diameter) yields approximately:
281 calories; 6.3 g of protein; 29.9 IU of Vitamin A; 37.7 mg of Vitamin C; 29.9 mg of Calcium; 80.7 mg of magnesium; 1626 mg of potassium; and is of course, extremely low fat.
