Jackie Dang / Donald's Market

Name: Jackie Dagg, 32, communications and resource-development manager for VanCity Community Foundation

Store: Donald's Market, 2342 East Hastings Street

Items bought: peach-mango tofu, Avalon one-percent milk, Panda black licorice, olive oil, Amy's canned organic lentil veg soup, organic nut-raisin granola, yellow peppers, spinach, green beans, organic bananas

Where they're headed: The peach-mango tofu is for smoothies. "I make them every day for breakfast. Tofu, yogurt, banana, a bit of frozen fruit, and juice. It's really fast." What's for dinner? "I'm a vegetarian, but my partner's not”¦.He cooked a roast last night, so he'll eat that and I'll have a frozen veggie pie. Then we'll have mashed potatoes and broccoli or beans."

Guilty pleasure: Chips and chocolate. But Dagg says she buys whatever she wants regardless of whether it's good for her or how much it costs. "I try to go healthy. I do look at fat and protein content, but it doesn't stop me." She says she loves black licorice, and it's fat free.

On shopping: "I'm usually in and out in a half-hour. I rush in and get it all, and then leave. Donald's isn't a big store, so it's easy."
