Premium Food Hack OR “The Farmers Market”
Farmer’s Markets are seen by most as fulcrums for hippie power leverage. But there is more to be gained than helping your community, eating healthier, and an aire of superiority. And that is premium foods at reasonable prices!
Peep game, 35.75$ brought home:
2lbs Wild Blueberries(10)
600mL Cherry Granola (3 - That’s right Granola)
2FT of garlic chili farmer Sausage(4)
1/2 lbs. Smoked Pike (7)
1 Jar Ginger Marmalade (3.75)
1 Jar Butter Chicken Sauce (6.50)
1 Puffed Wheat Cake Square(1.50 - snacks!)
While I admit the Blueberries were a bit pricey, all these things would definitely be more at your grocery store ( yes, even SuperStore) plus they aren’t even from the forest. I know I have shelled out over 5$ for Robertson’s Ginger Marmalade, AND SMOKED FISH! That’s the apertif du jour. The butter chicken sauce might end up being a bit of a gouge, we’ll see.
Want to front like you slaved over some home-style baking? Go to the Farmer’s Market. Need Moccasins? Try the Farmer’s Market. Safeway got you bleeding out the pockets for fresh herbs? Farmer’s Market has your back.
Rare and precious meats like bison, pickeral, and goat(???) can also be got en mass.
And the best part by far is you pay whatever the sign says. If it says 4$ you slap down a couple toonies and that is all. It’s like shopping at the Convenience store for Nerds , and GoldMine BubbleGum before tax was a big deal.
