I've been going to Gretels Markt for several years now, and am happy to have found it as an alternative to the supermarkets. They always have fresh produce, as well as (and this may sound a little strange...) overly ripe?!, but before they toss it, you can buy certain items that should be consumed asap from a box in the back. Admittedly, I feel a little like a homeless person scuffing through this box sometimes, but really, who likes to waste food? It's all still in pretty good shape (just not as shiny as the other stuff). The fruit is perfect for juicing and the vegies are fine too. Each bag usually costs only about 50 cents.
They also have a nice selection of cheap flowers and other seasonal items. Friendly people working there too. read more
