Talk about a hot Friday night date. After dinner this evening, Matt and I walked over to the grand opening of Fresh World, a new "international supermarket" about a mile from our apartment. Inside we found all kinds of produce we'd never heard of, some pretty darn good deals, and the most diverse group of Restonians we'd ever seen. And...some very long checkout lines.
I think it was worth it, though; here's what we got for around $25:
It's like letting your mom check your Halloween candy (except the cats don't take away all the groceries the next day...)
This included a gallon of whole milk for $.99 (yogurt and cheese!), 3 pounds of strawberries for $3 (some of which we'll dehydrate for snacks), and 10 pounds each of potatoes and onions for around $2. Fresh spinach was also a good buy and so we're planning to go back for more and freeze it. We got 2 lbs of bean sprouts for just over a buck, asparagus was a rocking $1.99/lb, sweet corn was 6 for $1, and Matt got some bok choy and some okra he's planning to cook while I'm gone :)
All in all, we got some great deals and it was fun to rub shoulders with such an interesting crowd of people. We're hoping that Fresh World is here to stay.
