Central Market

I LOVE Central Market!!!

JC & I have recently started doing our grocery shopping at CM and LOVE IT!! I know its sounds crazy to say we buy our groceries from CM... but we did some price shopping a few months back and found out that its actually (believe it or not) cheaper to shop at CM than Target or Tom Thumb.

AND to top it off... there is a bigger selection of ORGANIC and LOCAL produce and alot more "healthy" type food.

We enjoy putting together our grocery list every week now and then spending the afternoon at CM shopping! Sometimes I'm even allowed to buy flowers! :)

Below are some of the highlights of CM for us... they have a HUGE wine selection, YUMMY pastries, DELISH bread and the BEST cheese ever (cheese is my favorite thing)



Just to prove to you that we actually are spending less at CM below is our menu for the week...

Chili Shirmp Mexican Salad
Tilapia and Roasted Corn
Grilled Chicken Salad
Bean Burgers with Tomitillo Sauce
Tilapia and Couscous
Steak and Asparagus

Ingredients for ALL of the above meals, stuff for breakfast and lunch for the week and some adult beverages for $95.28

If you have a Central Market near by you should check it out and see if it's worth while to shop there...

This weekend they are having an HERB FEST that I am SUPER excited about!!! Last year JC and I bought some herbs for our patio and tried so hard to keep them alive... they lasted about a month... hopefully this time around we will know what we are doing!

I ♥ CM scones...I just wish one was closer to me. It isn't worth the drive and I need a one-stop-shop with little ones in tow. I am envious of your weekly menu. Yum. (and I too love cheese!)
