Nowhere else in the Bay area have I found such inexpensive vegetables. You might get these prices during occasional weekly sale deals, but to have them all available at once without having to wait for sales is so convenient. Here's what I found this week for 99 cents:
- Cauliflower head- huge, fresh, stickered with when they were harvested (mostly a little over 2 weeks ago from Salinas)
- Bell peppers- orange, red, yellow- two for 99 cents. Great deal for those red ones which tend to run more expensive than other colors.
- Yellow squash- 2 lb. bag
- Oyster mushrooms- fresh, yellow caps, grown in California
- Shiitake mushrooms- fresh, smaller and daintier than the ones from Trader Joe's or Asian groceries
- Baby bella mushroom (4 oz.)
- Portobello mushrooms 4 oz.
- Pasilla peppers in a bag- great for stuffing!
- Herbs, fresh- basil plant; marjoram plant, oregano, and others!
- Lettuce- head or also one that comes planted in dirt and is still "growing"
- Chile de arbol, dried
- Guajillo chiles, dried- I had paid double this price at an SF market!
- Chiles japones
- Serrano chiles
- Celery
- Leeks (2 stalks in a bag)
- Parsley (Italian)- 2 bunches
- Grape tomatoes- carton
- Regular tomatoes- tray
- Hibiscus petals for tea
- Zucchini bag
- Yams/Sweet potatoes- bag of approx. 2 lbs.
Other pantry staples:
- Dried beans- garbanzo and others
- Olives- black, manzanita stuffed, green
- Masa harina- small bag
- Stevia
- Corn bread mix (Aunt Jemima)
- Corn meal- small bag
- Pasta- 24 oz. penne, spaghetti, rotini...
- Apple cider vinegar
- Spices- whole black pepper, pink Himalayan salt, lemon pepper, Italian seasoning, rosemary, oregano, cinnamon (sticks and ground), parsley flakes, basil leaves
Sadly there was no vegan cheese this time.
Happy salad making!
