Shopping!

So today was grocery day.
Thought I'd try out a few different places to see what they had.

Hess
-all right, this is actually a gas station, but you can't but groceries if you can't get to them
-used the "Gasbuddy" app on my android phone to find the lowest gas station prices near my location
-had a lot of trouble with one of the pumps.

Aldi (8261 Coral Way, 33155)
-far away
-spent about $26 here
-only thing they had significantly superior prices on was skinless boneless chicken breast and some lemons
-Overall: probably not coming again unless im driving to Hess to buy cheap gas as well

Amigos (2460 SW 27th ave)
-spent $3
-run of the mill corner shop, mostly canned goods
-bought some chickpeas and made a killer hummus
-seriously this hummus is so smooth you could pour it into a waterbed and sleep on it
-and then eat it in the morning
-well assuming it hasn't gone bad
-most of their fruit looked sad and poorly nourished
-Overall: great for canned beans?

Milam's (2969 SW 32nd ave)
-somehow prices everything at double the average store, yet remains popular
-nice decor, especially the liquor section
-if you are a poor/cost-conscientious student, avoid like the plague
-remember to also avoid actual plagues

Publix (located everywhere)
-pros: very close
-most of the high prices are restricted to the meat and the groceries, which leaves...well, household stuff i suppose. and boxes of cereal
-good cereal selection, now that i think about it
-expensive hummus
-probably isnt anywhere near as smooth as mine
-has the specific kind of milk I buy, and is the only place that seems to carry it
-surprisingly has decent prices on bananas, but theyre always oddly placed
Overall: buy bananas and Lactaid milk, maybe cereal and peas

Costco (somewhere near the airport)
-cons: far away
-amazing prices on bulk frozen strawberries and mixed berries
-very good prices on nuts
-great mixed salad
-great oranges, but surprisingly small selection as far as produce
-holy hell thats a lot of eggs
-Overall: buy nuts, salad, eggs, frozen berries, whatever fruits as looking allright. find friend with membership

GFS
-chicken breast is not as well priced as Aldi's per pound, BUT claims to be antibiotic and hormone free, which is always nice
-great frozen veggies
-much closer location-wise

Despite grocery shopping, I seem to have had trouble finding a decent store that sells quality (damnit Amigos), affordable (no Publix, you don't know what that word means), individual (goddamnit GFS and costco, I dont need 20 onions) fruits/veggies. I've heard there's a place near hear that might have potential. Must scout it out next week.
