Best Produce Around

by KMChicago at Citysearch

I've been on a kick to eat healthier but I'm discouraged by high prices and low quality at Jewel. I recently visited Stanleys and walked out with a ton of fruits and veggies for around $30. The place is crazy on the weekends so I would try to go during non-peak hours. Worth fighting the crowds though. I live close and will probably take a walk once a week to load up!

Better Produce Prices than Corporate Grocery Stores

by luvjewel2 at Citysearch

I love it here! Everything is so cheap. All these people complaining about the food going back and being spoiled, well you have to understand that when you pay only fifty cents for a pound of strawberries, of course they are on the verge of going bad. They price items that are getting close to being spoiled at extremely cheap prices. You have to eat them right away or cook with them. Why do you think they're so cheap?! I always get good produce here, yea I have had some days where I can not find any good cucumbers or squash but everything else is great. This is a great place to shop when you cook homemade pasta sauce and other goodies. I get a great price on tomatoes that are too soft for salads but great to cook down into sauce. Last time I went they had sweet corn 10 for a dollar!! How can you beat that? Every time I go I leave with like 3-4 bags stuffed for under $30. Now when I buy my produce at Jewel I'll spend double that on 3 bags of produce. You really can not beat the prices here but remember it's not Whole Foods.

Best CHEAP Fruits and Veggies

by kjchicago at Citysearch

I love this place! It's almost a game to go in with $10 and see just how much you can buy. They have great weekly/seasonal specials, so I try to go as often as possible. I highly recommend Stanley's to anyone who likes fresh, cheap produce.

• Pros: cheap, fresh, good variety
