So we finally made it to Sunrise Market (which is actually only one block from my work, but open 8-6, so if I'm on nights - 7 pm to 7 am - I can't go). Sunrise is actually the same company that makes Sunrise tofu.
Anyways, the deals were amazing. Let me list all that we got:
7 Nectarines
1 Bunch of Bananas
2 Mangoes
5 Apples
2 Large Carrots
1 Head of Cauliflower
1 Large bag of Organic Onions
5 Lemons
1 Bunch of Leeks
3 Avocados
1 Small Bag of Potatoes
2 One Litre Cartons of Organic Soup Broth
1 Package of Organic Quinoa
1 Can of Pinto Beans
3 Heads of Garlic
1 Jumbo Bag of Purple Taco Chips
1 Bag of Kettle Chips
1 Bag of Marjoram Spice
1 Bag of Fennel Seeds
All for a grand total of.....$33.36
The last 8 ingredients on the list alone would come to at least $30 in any other store, especially here at my neighbourhood Safeway or Capers....
Pretty great, huh??
It's a bit of a bus ride, but great if you bring along reading. The atmosphere is great, i.e. I was asking TJ if he wanted some corn on the cob (8 for $1) and a passerby told me it was terrible and not to buy it. And there are a ton of interesting products, AND a great variation of produce, AND organics are available, plus lots of tofu to choose from!! Also, it's kitty-corner to a great little independent meat shop for when we decide to get a good cut of meat once in a while. It is safe to say that this is our new go-to grocery store.
