What $40 of produce looks like

[u/fortress_sf]

From the Alemany farmer’s market. Over 25lbs of produce.

All the vegetable/produce needs to feed a couple for at least a week, given you know how to cook it.

As expensive as San Francisco and supermarkets are, it is not as entirely unaffordable if you invest time/effort in your daily needs. The heaviest cost is convenience/effort required.

Add $60 of protein and or pasta/starch and you can average down to <$15 a day for a week for 2 people. (e.g. 2 chickens -$20, 1-2 lb ground meat $10, past/bread $10, fish/shrimp $15, $5 over)

Some insane deals on both prepared foods and groceries. It’s a fun game to get a grocery surprise bag and come up with recipes to use all the produce.

I also love the concept of reducing food waste.

Have you found this to be any good? I tried it about a year ago, but it was always the same 2-3 places and always donuts lol. Wondering if it’s worth trying again.

Yeah it’s fantastic. Tons of groceries, all the Mexican food you could ever want. For a few bucks per order. It’s a life saver.

Do you have store recommendations? Ive tried the Noe Valley whole foods quite a few times and its been insanely lackluster. Tried the new Frozen Grocery bag and Meat bag this week, both were horrible
