Central Market Trip

[dalthauser]

 I went to Central Market in San Antonio on Sunday.  Here are thoughts:
* I liked learning to find another place.
* They had too much wine - I thought I was in a liquor store for a minute there.
* They sold cigarettes at near the checkout - gag.
*  Produce dept rocked, but it was pricey (even for non-organic stuff).
*  Bulk section was very good - but, again - pricey.
*  Vitamin / Personal care section was huge - lots of fun.  (they were out of Bach Wild Oat remedy and a couple more though)
*  There were many things I can't find other places - most notably rice bran in the bulk section; however, they didn't have rice grits which I'd seen at an HEB somewhere else.

I bought about 6 different kinds of flour (spelt, rice, buckwheat, and more), I got rice bran to make Japanese fermented pickles, Bach Mimulus remedy (gonna to a post on this at a later date), a couple of bottles of asian seasoning, organic honeysweet apples, a container of Gensoy protein powder that was on sale, and a pkg of multi-grain tortillas they made on site.

Oh yeah, I also got a pistachio cannoli and an espresso brownie - they were delicious.

I will return, but not very often.  This type of grocery store isn't for someone on my budget sadly.

That's why I love my HEB - same company, lower prices. And they carry a lot of the Central Market brands.

Yes, I have an HEB in my town. I get my 16oz tub of Central Market organic baby spinach there weekly without fail :-)

Sounds like a neat store. Wish I could find one here in my town. Still looking.

Have a good day.

First, thanks for adding me. :)

I am so tired of the grocery stores in my area. We could use a new and different one.
