Is there anyone in the Kingman Arizona area? I have just started on my high carb raw vegan life and would love to chat with someone in the area. So far as I have found there are no farmers markets…Continue

I checked out WinCo Foods recently and was quite pleased with the prices! I haven't been to Kodiak, so I don't know how it compares to that, but compared to regular grocery stores, the prices are…Continue

Costco is mighty handy, though seldom organic, with some great prices, but I'd still be grateful to learn of additional offerings, especially local ones. How are you long-term Tucsonans staying well…Continue

Comment by Windlord on October 6, 2011 at 9:19am: I like that idea, Oriana. Since you're the one who needs to be in top shape for the race, you wanna pick the time and place for the fruitluck? Put it on here with a few weeks notice as well as on the main events calendar page here (I can help if you like) and we should attract a nice crowd. Did you want to keep it to just fruities, or would you want to give a shout out to the larger veg squad in town too?

Teresa and Trysta, you may or may not be able to score the sprouts leftovers, but you should definately be able to get full case discounts, which are typically 10%.

Also have you checked out some of the local farmers markets:

Roadrunner Market is the longest running mkt in the state, going on at least 21 yrs now. I highly recommend Stella of Horney Toad Farms there.

Comment by oriana on September 30, 2011 at 12:04am: Anyone like near Price and Southern in Tempe? That's where I live. I get most fruit at Costco and Sunflower Market. Anyone interested in running the full P.F. Chang Marathon in Jan. or the Women's Half in November with me. We could have a frut feast the day before.

Comment by Reese on September 29, 2011 at 3:11pm: @ Trysta: I wonder if I've seen you before, because I shop at the same sprouts! Next time I go I'll be looking for someone else that is buying as many bananas as me. =)

Maybe we could talk to them and find out if we could get our hand the produce that they plan to throw out before they throw it.

Comment by TC on September 29, 2011 at 5:47am: Tip for fellow Tucsonans: Sunflower Market (on Speedway, not sure about the others) has Organic Chiquita bananas for 50 cents/pound today only. We picked up a case and they look good. There is not a case discount because they are already losing money at this price, but they need to move some so they priced them low. Enjoy...

Comment by Trysta on September 27, 2011 at 11:14pm: Re: Teresa Hudson - I'm in N. Phoenix/Scottsdale & shop at Sprouts on Tatum across from Paradise Valley Mall however there's a real farmer's market each Saturday at 9375 E Shea Blvd, Scottsdale, AZ, on Shea just East of 94th St. Here is their website for anyone interested http://www.azlocalfarmersmarkets.com/ I haven't gone there yet but plan to :)

Comment by Reese on September 27, 2011 at 4:24am: Is there anywhere awesome to shop near North Phoenix/Scottsdale area?

Comment by oriana on September 17, 2011 at 2:11pm: Hi I;m from Tempe and I do all of my fruit shopping at Costco. I find it has the best quality. I am running in the P.F. Chang marathon (full) in Jan. of 2012. I run it every year. I am also doing the Women's Half marathon in November. I have run the Lost Dutchman marathon in Feb. a few times also. Too bad we can't get a group of us for a prerace fruit dinner or meet up afterwards.

Comment by Ignazio Palazzolo on September 17, 2011 at 8:15am: Hello Everyone I'm new to 30bananasaday! I'm from Phoenix been raw for about an year now. Is anyone going to run the 20K Estrella Mountain on October 2, 2011. That run is in the preserves and looks fun to do. Also, I'm registered for PF Chang 1/2 Marathon. I would like to talk to like minds because this lifestyle is hard socially.

I basically getting most of my produce from Costco and Sprouts. Is there any good deals out here for good organic produce besides supermarkets that I'm used too.

Peace and Love!

Comment by oriana on August 23, 2011 at 1:39pm: I live in Tempe near Price and Southern. Anyone up to running the P.F. Chang Marathon in Jan. or the all women's 1/2 marathon in November. I am signed up for both! We could have a prerace "meal" the night before.
