It has been called to my attention that apparently there is something wrong with shopping at the Fresh Market.
Now, it could be that, on one of my ill-advised rants years ago, I railed against the Fresh MArket. I rail against alot of things, so it's kind of hard to keep up sometimes.
If I did, though, I just want to say I was wrong ecause the Fresh Market is actually pretty damn awesome.
My worry initially in shopping there was that it would be too expensive. Turns out I think you save money going there.
Kroger puts alot of crap on sale, but then jacks up the other prices. But the way Kroger really makes its money on all the non-food items in the store. The combination of Fresh Market for food, and then Walmart or Dollar General or something for toothpaste, toilet paper and crap like that is defiitely a money saver, and it's not even close.
Really, the only thing that is more expensive at Fresh Market is their meat, but the meat is so far superior to the shit they have at Kroger it's not even funny.
Probably the best thing about Fresh Market is the store is like a third of the size of Kroger, if that. You are in and out in probably half the time.
They always have awsome free coffee, and I am a huge fan of free coffee. The other day we went and they had free fresh squeezed orange juice and some cookies. If I wanted to I could skip breakfast every morning and go hang out a the Fresh Market and get a pretty nutrituous meal for nothing. Probably someone would catch on eventually but now that I think about it that's not a half bad idea. It is on my way to Hadley's school, on the right side of the road, so it wouldn't take me anytime at all to stop in there with Hadley and get ourselves some orange juice and a cookie or something.
Finally, the odds of eating healthy go way up shopping there. Mostly because they don't sell alot of junk food. With a 5 year old that likes to eat that's a big plus. You can't buy what they don't have on the shelf.
If I was ever against Fresh Market, I am officially a convert.
