New store in my neighborhood has me inspired!

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I'm considering a veg/vegan month for us!  A new hispanic grocer called compare foods has moved in up the street and their produce section just...rocks...!  It's huge, filled to the brim with fruits, veggies, greens, fresh herbs, exotic roots, dried chilis, just beautiful stuff.  And sooo cheap!  And the turns on this stuff are amazing, I swear there is a line for the tomatoes, every time I've been there are at least 3 stockers working like madmen to put more out.

 

What I bought sunday:

2 lbs roma tomatoes

2 lbs carrots

2 lbs mexican squash (calabacitas)

3 bunches baby spring onions

1 bunch basil

1 bunch parsley

1 big bag each turnip greens, mustard, collards, kale

1 pineapple

10 limes

3 mangoes

4 avocados

8 lbs potatoes

mixed bag of dried chilis

5 heads garlic

2  lbs green beans

1 head romaine lettuce

2 bunches spinach

5 lbs dried pink beans

1 lb dried chickpeas

10 lbs rice

 

and I s* you not, this cost me a whopping $38.00!

 

With this cheap bounty, plus a couple loaves of bread, we could eat like kings!!!!!  yipee!

I hear you. I LOVE that store, too. My husband travels to  work near that store and I shop there weekly or as often as I can get down there. I have told everyone about that store, and my in-laws shop there, too, when ever they are down there, too
