Avocados: $3.50/ea.

Shallots: $2 for 1/2 lbs. worth

I needed the shallots but passed on the avos. My local produce stand has them
for $0.80/ea.

They have the greatest looking produce but it's priced not to move.

Then there's the "organic" lemonade for $2/qt. That's a stretch.

The BUMS!!!

Andy

Why do you shop there?

Shallots are always $4/lb at all the stores I shop. Except for
oriental market where they're $2, but small and muddy.

I see you don't get out of corn field much.

If he didn't, he'd only have one subject to comment on here - his breakfast
choices. Shopping there gives him two reasons.

Steve.

Since when are the Shallots at MT small and muddy?
Last time I bought them, they were not only prettier than the ones at
Sun Harvest, but they have had a MUCH longer shelf life.

JSB...

You really need to try starting some independent food threads instead of
using the list to be such a sorry [censored] and criticizing everyone.

In your own way, you are worse than Sheldon.

Only Goomba is worse than Sheldon, and you are beating even her!

Ok. <g>

I drive by it all the time on my way to Central Market or MT.

I don't shop there anymore!

I can get them for about $1.80/pound at my local produce store. And
they are really nice ones.

Christine, who will be picking up some today.

Mmmmm <shallots> Mmmmm.... ;-d

I need to use them more.
Maybe I'll add one to the pot of beans today.

Then again, I may save them for the steak.

(Steak and beans? Don't ask. <G>😉

I've purchased them more than once at MT.
Both of us are generally regulars there and I have been shopping there
for about 10 years but they recently moved and "upgraded".

I've only been there twice since they changed locations. He goes there
more. If their produce quality has changed that drastically, I won't
bother going back. I found a nice little Korean market that has shallots
and garlic, and Shiratake for a good price, and they have fresh frozen
crab meat that I can afford too along with lots of giant squids.

The shopping options in Austin are practically endless. ;-)

He lives there. I live 40 miles from North Austin.

And why did you feel you needed to butt into a private question with yet
another smart assed, nasty comment?

You need drugs dude. Go see your doctor.

If he said the shallots were small and muddy, then they were small and
muddy. Are you suggesting that he was hallucinating?

There is far more than one asian market in North Austin.
I'm curious as to WHERE they were small and muddy.

But, Steve is brighter than you and would have understood that.

If you do not want to pay their prices then why go there? Why call them
bums? Perhaps you are the bum, an impecunious person who goes to a high-
priced store and then complains about the prices.

Didn't dawn on you that they might carry a product that I like but can't
find anywhere else?

I do browse around at other stuff thinking maybe something could be on
sale.

They WERE giving away free car deodorizers (grape), that I gave 10 seconds
of "air time" before throwing it away.

I too go to WF to buy a small number of things that I can't get
elsewhere, but I do not make an issue of their high prices. Everyone
knows they have high prices! Nor do I complain when I can't find a new
$15,000 car at the BMW dealer.

Gee, Andy, how witty. Rather than debate the topic you resort to a 7th
