A grocery store to call home.

I have lived in my house for 2.5 years. In that time, I have had nothing but contempt for the local grocery stores. The closest, Albertsons, is the worst store around. Second worse - two Safeways about the same distance away. Then a sorta-eh QFC. I get very irritated by cookie cutter grocery stores which all seem to require their own "super duper deal" card which you have to have or they charge you 2x what anything is worth.

Growing up on Bainbridge, I was spoiled to have a Town and Country at my disposal. There is another one in Poulsbo called Central Market (Take it from me - that is the best fookin' grocery store there is, period). There is another one North of me 4 or so miles on Aurora, but is kind of a pain to get to.

Tonight, I was going through greenwood on the prowl for any place with produce as I was too late for my produce stand Lenny's Market and saw "Greenwood Market". The produce there is FABULOUS aaaaand, they are owned by the same chain as the other good places mentioned in the previous paragraph.

I bought
3 boxes of Good Earth Original tea (I meant to get 2 decaf, and accidentally did it the other way around). This stuff is YUMMY, and getting increasingly more difficult to find it anywhere - most stores that carry it have an empty shelf where it belongs. You'd think they'd wise up to that and order more.
3lbs of organic broccoli (their deal of the day - 98 cents a pound)
3 organic cucumbers (98 cents each - looked WAY better than the 78 cent normal ones)
Hmmm, looks like she only charged me for one.

Non-organics:
1 pounds of radishes
2 lbs clip top carrots
1 pound fuji apples (2 apples)
Bananas
1 pound green beans
2 green bell peppers
2.5 pounds of rhubarb (to make rhubarb custard, YUMMY)

Can you say snack heaven?! Now I have to start eating it because I'll be upset if I let any go bad. NOM NOM NOM!

Two steps forward! For you organic officionado's out there - cool it. I am doing WAY better than I was by even buying what I did, and right now I'm just not willing to pay your typical organic costs pesticide worries be damned.
