The second time I had to do it all myself, for both me and my sister, and I got told I was being greedy for buying two load,s, even though we were sharing with other family members, too. They shamed me, patently refused to give me some of what they gave the people ahead of me double amounts of and which they gave to some people behind me in line, too. Told me I was greedy and selfish. I got mocked for crying and was told that I should have known better than to be so selfish and they laughed when some of my food got stolen. The veggies were mostly okay, though. The grapes were all rotten. The third time I went, years later, I got one load and they gave me most of the things they gave other people but the volunteer handing out the paper towels literally threw them at me and said "I guess you have to get every free thing you can!" They gave me several boxes of dates. The veggies were good. The fourth time everything was rotten except a few only semi okay veggies. Less than 7 lbs total. I would have gotten a better deal from the grocery store. They were definitely playing favorites among both known people and for other reasons. The fifth and last time I went we ordered ahead and they were just going to load us up. They only loaded up for one family but three of us came. Then, after a lot of arguing, they grudgingly gave us three rolls of paper towels and two boxes of dates and called it good. I hear very good things about this organization. So, I am thinking it is more about the volunteers they happen to get in certain neighborhoods. The first time we went, we drove pretty far out of our way and it was great. The other times were all in the Sacred Heart Parking lot except one time when it was nearer to this area of town but not quite that close.

Cheap Veggies!!!! I love Borderland's amazing produce rescue program. On a Saturday schedule at…read morevarious community organizations in Tucson and Phoenix volunteers coordinate the veggie pickups. You pay $10 cash and take your own box, crate, or some grocery bags and load up 60 pounds of fruits and vegetables. Each Saturday they have a different assortment of vegetables which is posted on their Facebook and website. Usually between 7am and 10am. Program runs during produce season, November through August. Produce available, from my understanding, is whatever they couldn't market and is tagged to be trashed. Perfectly good stuff, some of the peppers may be funny shapes with a few blemishes, and some things may be closer to their spoiling point, but for the most part it's perfect. This weekend we went to the pickup at St. Francis in the Foothills church on Swan and East River. For $10 you were allowed to take 37 Roma tomatoes, 4 butternut squash, 11 pickling cucumbers, 3 mini watermelons, 11 yellow bell peppers, 11 orange bell peppers, 11 yellow squash, and 1 bag mini sweet bell peppers. The variety and amount of each veggie you can take always changes, but it always equals about 60 pounds. We almost always split our box with a friend because it is too much for our household of two. Totally worth it if you can get yourself up and out of the house early on a Saturday.

The vegan cranberry quinoa salad and fresh hot soup are delicious with other options like cut beets, thai peanut rice noodles, etc and the vegan rice crispy square with rainbow sprinkles is flat-out addictive (I had to go back for a second after trying my partner's). The bulk section is full of gems too -- I especially love the grain free vegan granola. Prices can run a little high, but it's worth it for what feels like a home cooked meal and because it supports a co-op. In love with the recent update that opened the store all the way through to the back garden and easy parking -- such a great vibe. Go here, smell the herbs, and check out a crystal shop near by. Perfect day. 040725

The isles are incredibly narrow, I am of average weight and I maybe had a half a foot on each side in the aisle. The produce didn't seem very fresh, so I skipped over that. I did enjoy some of the weirder, nontraditional grocery store items like squid jerky. However, I am vegan and I struggle to find vegan items within all of the options. If you think snow, parking is very tricky. Unless you live downtown and you plan on walking, be prepared to do a little bit of walking in order to get to the store. The store also had alcohol, and toiletries. What the store is known for is their deli, which I did not partake in. I hear their sandwiches are amazing but I didn't see any vegan options.

Their mortadella sandwich is a treat, including their pistachio pesto. I didn't know what mortadella was, and found out it's like an Italian bologna. We also tried their breakfast focaccia sandwich but I think the tomato jam was too sweet, so would recommend their lunch focaccia sandwiches instead. The space is a little confusing in terms of where to line up and order when it gets busy but the staff are very kind. Their almond cake is very tasty, too! I would not recommend their dinner menu. We stayed long enough at Slow Body that we tried their dinner menu. The pizzas are thin crust and had little sauce for the margherita pizza. We thought their dinner sandwich would be on focaccia, but it was on a baguette and not as flavorful. I wish their dinner sandwiches were also on focaccia, which it didn't list what type of bread it's on on their dinner menu. Their tiramisu was also disappointing with the cost and the fact that they use sponge cake and not traditional lady fingers, which their menu also doesn't mention. Definitely come for their lunch, focaccia, coffee, and pastries. I'd skip dinner menu.
