Fruits and Veggies
I saw the post about Fresh Direct and hope they will deliver to South Philly.
In the meantime, where do you ladies get fruits and veggies at a good price? I think the supermarket is way overpriced. $3.99 for a pound of grapes- I don't think so. Is Trader Joes a good spot?
Re: Fruits and Veggies
It's tough because with fruits and veggies, I'd rather pay more to know that I'm getting quality. Especially in the winter. I find that even though it's expensive, I'd rather buy my veggies at Whole Foods than say, Shoprite, because things are always rotted and looking really bad when I go. But I could also go at the wrong times. If I have to pay a dollar or two more, I'm comforted knowing that I'm paying for what I get (and it's usually organic). I personally think the TJ's in the city is hit or miss on veggies. It's such a small store and so heavily shopped that I've never been impressed with their produce.
In general, winters are hard but in the summer, I stock up at the farmers market in our 'hood in S. Philly on Sundays. Ditto Lachute on buying in season.
Thanks ladies! I will definetly check out Wegman's. I'll be at home for 3 entire months for the first time since I was 15, so I am sure I will want to get out of the house once in a while, especially on the days when DH is off.
Or I can always give a shopping list to my favorite baby sister who works down the road from Wegman's in South Jersey.
Check out Fair Food Farmstand at the Reading Terminal Market, if you want locally grown items in season.
Iovine Bros in RTM also has a shitton of choices...the place is always nuts. Most of it is conventionally grown from CA or Chile, but they do have a small selection of organic produce.
