I've started back on my Tuesday routine to head to Central Market. The fruits and vegetables taste so much better and are much cheaper than the grocery store. For example, last week it was $1.50 for 1 lemon at the store. At market I got 4 lemons for $1. Huge difference!
Disclaimer: Not all items are cheaper at market. It's good to have an idea of what the prices are at the store to compare.
Here are my favorite stands:
The Turkey Lady
My husband and I love this stand. She makes wonderful turkey sausage. My husbands favorite is the spinach and feta. We also love her deli turkey. Lots lots lots less fat than regular sausage and you can't tell the difference.
Ric's Bread
One day I hope to start making homemade bread, but for now, this stand is WONDERFUL. We've been making grilled sandwiches with their bread and the turkey lady's deli turkey. Amazing. And to finish off the sandwich, a perfectly ripe juicy mango (also from market). They also have a thin crust pizza crust, rolls, homemade english muffins and of course, different loaves of bread. The bread does mold fast because there are no preservatives, but I prefer that. Less chemicals the better!
Lemongrass
This is a fabulous Thai restaurant and as a treat for buying local, every tuesday I always buy us something for lunch. Their curry's are delicious. Can't wait for this tuesday!
Eat Fresh. Buy Local.
