They say it's cheaper here than in America, but lately I have been missing the hispanic-owned produce markets i used to shop at. I bought the "less fresh" stuff for about 90% off! Oh how I miss that.

I got tomatoes and cucumbers for 2.99 today which I thought was good - they were 6.99 at supermarket.
