What's on Sale in June?

 I have barely been in New York since early April and since I knew I would be away, I wasn't even shopping much then. Now I am back for the foreseeable future and need groceries. So far I have been mostly eating tomatoes from C-Town that were $1.49/lb last week.

I'm also back to iced coffee/cold brew that I buy at stores. Last night I used my $3 off in-app coupon at CVS to get Stok for $4. I should learn how to make it myself. I lack the equipment.

Bravo: Chicken quarters for 99¢/lb. Peaches are $1.49/lb. Cilantro is 79¢ and Vidalia onions are $1/lb.

C-Town: Same peaches, but chicken costs more here. Bottom round roast is $5.49/lb. I wonder if I could use that for birria. Maseca is $4. Bizzy cold brew is $4 for 48 oz. I haven't heard of that brand. C-Town seems to have changed its frozen foods store brand from Krasdale to Food Club and all the prices are a lot higher. Cilantro is 79¢ here too.

Food Bazaar: Peaches are only $1/lb here. A sleeve of garlic is 3/$5.

Foodtown: Tortilla chips are $3. Sleeved garlic is $3 here, so maybe I will go to Food Bazaar. Trader Joe's was out of garlic yesterday. Vidalia onions are $1.50/lb here. There's not much of a reason to go to Foodtown this week.

Green Corner: Tomatillos are $1/lb and serranos are $1.29/lb this weekend only. I need to go get some. Sleeves of garlic are 3/$5 here too. Ginger is $1.69/lb and Cotija is $6/lb.

my trip to Food Bazaar yesterday

 I wanted to make chicken paprikash and I wanted mashed potatoes to go with that. So I went to Food Bazaar because they were supposed to have 10 lbs on sale for $4. I didn't see that, but 10 lbs is heavy anyway. I got 5 lbs for $2.50.

It was too crowded and everyone was pushing around empty carts and leaving carts everywhere. I survived.

I bought so much stuff I usually wouldn't. Like korean rice cakes, genoa salami, provolone, leeks. The leeks had a price on their sign that didn't make sense and then they were expensive. I spent over $5 on leeks. I got buttermilk for my mashed potatoes.

They had a lot of Mexican stuff I didn't notice before like cueritos (pickled pig skin) and huitlacoche. 

Dried chiles at C-Town

 I'm back from Mexico City. I am going to start blogging about my grocery stores there too because I go to Sumesa, Chedraui, Tiendas 3B, and Walmart a lot. I got Tequila Cazadores marked down from 530 pesos to 130.

Anyway, this is about Brooklyn still. The last two times I bought dried chiles at C-Town, the cashiers actually asked me which ones they were instead of just guessing. That's an improvement. Also C-Town has chiles anchos again ($8.99/lb) which is good. I got arbol ($7.99/lb) the other day and guajillo ($6.99/lb) today.
