Open 7 Days a week.
This place has everything you would find in China Town, but for a LOT less (can anything cost less outside of chinatown??? - YES!). Andrew is one of the owners, and he knows about '30BananasADay.com' so he knows that anyone who comes from 30bad is looking for the 'best' and the 'deals' (he doesn't come in on sundays). Andrew is a super nice guy - very friendly, speaks perfect english and will HOOK YOU UP! I just got back from a visit and picked up 3 cases of pomogranates for $5. a case! (maybe 3 out of the 20 weren't good anymore). I got a 30lb case of clementines for $10. - they are epic good. Got my strawberry papaya fix (9 in a case for $13.50),.... they have everything - ask for the 'deals' if you are on a budget, or you can get the 15lb case of mangosteen for $70. if you spend on fruit with no abandon like me!

If you really want to eat a fruitarian diet and you live outside of a tropical environment where fruit grows year round, then you'll have to learn to shop at wholesalers.
Unless you are really wealthy, shopping at supermarkets will be a huge financial strain on your diet.
For a lot of new people trying a fruitarian diet, the greatest long term issue that they will be faced with is finding affordable fruit.
Shopping at wholesalers is fun, fresh and economical - check out how I shop for my produce!

Hey Alice, I drive and Im going tomorrow (I go every wednesday) if you want to catch a ride. I drive a mini van so I'll have room for anything you'd buy too.

Actually if anyone wants to carpool just catch a ride with me.

Oh jeez.

Thanks for that. Only saw it after I came back today.

It was basically a big empty warehouse, yes I spelled that right.

Also, they had another location that another purveyor rents from them.....dark scary place with big scary dudes. (Cheap cantaloupes, but I didn't get them. And even I couldn't get through a case of 120 bananas.)

I'm sticking to Costco. $1.20 for a bunch of bananas. No scary dudes.

Organic??

No, not organic. I can get organic spinach and organic mixed greens there, that's about it.
