Grocery Shopping in L.A.

It is worth every penny spent on gas to drive to the Sunland Produce Market if you're looking for inexpensive, colorful, fresh and crunchy fruits and vegetables. My honey and I discovered this best kept secret in L.A. and bought bags of apricots, oranges and plums at $0.39 per pound.
We found kiwi, blackberries and peaches at $0.69 a pound and we also bought fresh Muenster, Gouda, Provolone and Swiss Cheeses for about $1.25 a pack (we ordered 1/4 of a pound each and that was more than enough!)
Being at the Sunland Market almost made me feel like we were shopping during a bygone era, like 1953 when the cost of living was more affordable and Beautiful Betty (pictured above) was so glad to go home with healthy foods, her panties dropped (oooooh...and she needed the bus driver's help to pick them up).
Other great finds at Sunland Market: a variety of different flavored Hummus, a good selection of shrimp, a Sangria stand, Wines from around the world and most recently, life-sized dolls with pretty flower dresses about 5 feet long at $19.99.
If you're in L.A. and you're hungry for fresh fruit, make sure to have $50.00 in hand and you'll get a grocery cartful-- guaranteed.
