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.
