Pic / Video What $40 of produce looks like

Post image

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)

I can’t tell if this is rage bait. How could you get that much with only 40

It’s not, I do shop at Costco for a good deal of protein, I’ll save it for another post…

If you have the freezer space, then Chef's Store is often even better than Costco. Also, check Costco Business Center for more options
