I've lived in SF for a long time, and I don't believe this, either. The prices might be 50% cheaper than Whole Foods, but not 50% cheaper than Safeway. If Cala Foods is what is meant by "calmart" the description could be accurate - Cala Foods is overpriced. But they are like a slightly bigger, semi-franchised mom and pop shop, not a big corporate chain.
- ardit33 18y agoYou should check out geary and fourth market: http://www.yelp.com/biz/4th-ave-and-geary-farmers-market-san-francisco#hrid:vEZ-fKCJFPj4ovSOdIFwYA/query:geary%20farmers%20market http://www.yelp.com/biz/4th-ave-and-geary-farmers-market-san... Yelp reviews: "I love this family owned Produce market. The vegetables & fruit are always seasonal and fresh. The prices are ridiculously cheap you almost feel like your steeling." .... So long, Sucky's! Hellooooooo hella cheap produce. "Not always the freshest, and not quite the liveliness of a legit outdoor Farmer's Market, but for the convenient location AND all the money I'm saving, do I even really care?" And, I now several other small grocery stores, just as cheap. Go to lucky's, or safeway, and you are paying almost twice for the same stuff. Guys you have to digg around for the good stuff. If you live something like Marina, or Fidi, or Soma, you probably don't have choice but big stores, but if you live in the Inner Richmond, China Town, Mission, there are plenty of family run cheap grocery store.
- ardit33 18y agoOne more good and cheap grocery store for you. There are probably a bunch of other ones, if you dig down, so I hope it helps cutting your bills, next time you want to shop for fresh produce: Parkside Market http://www.yelp.com/biz/parkside-farmers-market-san-francisco#hrid:eo4OVy2vaUlkzcBp-6Op_g/query:Parkside http://www.yelp.com/biz/parkside-farmers-market-san-francisc... "This is my favorite market. I can come out of here with three heavy bags of groceries that would have cost me an arm and a leg at Safeway. Their produce is great, the bread selection more than adequate (tons of different flat breads but I don't know what to do with them, so my fault) and their jams and tea collection perfect. That's the usual stuff I hit. Oh wait, chocolate, they've got chocolate! They really have quite a variety of nice items that I'm not remembering to mention right now."
