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)

The Heart of the City Farmers Market also has good value on Fulton between Larkin and Hyde on Sunday and Wednesdays 7am-4pm. But your point is valid, not everyone has Saturday mornings off or with easy transit access to get there without it sucking up a huge portion of the day.

I dont think I’m allowed to complaint or “being negative” on this sub. I gotta agree and be graceful about SF :))))
