Q: I am a student in San Francisco and I love to cook. I am looking for fresh ingredients but I do not have a huge budgets, so Whole Foods or farmers' markets might be too pricey. Is there a place in the city to get high quality and fresh meat and vegetables without breaking the bank?
A: trader joe's has a decent selection of organic vegetables, produce, milk, juice etc. they're reasonable priced. i find that the big difference btw trader joe's and whole foods is that at trader joe's, there isn't a meat/seafood counter. while they do sell meat and fish, everything is pre-packaged.
