Are you a Real Traveller like me? You should have conversed with him in authentic Ottoman on the subject of his own culture, a matter in which you have a not inconsiderable interest and have studied for many years.

I only go to the most obscure hole in the wall independent, and mostly ethnic, grocery stores. It's not about money it's about proving that I'm superior to whitewashed inauthentic soccer moms who do all their shopping at Whole Foods. Sure it means I have to stop in the barrio for some things (that's spanish for "the hood") but I just utter "hola, donde esta el bano" and they know I'm one of them.

My routine:
>Artisanal vegetable butcher:
$17
>Independent grain broker:
$6
>Kosher chicken atelier:
$13
>Craft brewer:
$26
>Raw milk farm share:
$93
>Local fromagerie
$10
>Fujianese grocery for certain fish and mushrooms you've never heard of
$0.04
>Punjabi grocery for certain vegetables you are MUCH too ignorant to know about
$0.45
>Nigerian grocery for certain spices you could never dream of knowing how to use
$0.03
>Cooperative peanut butter mill
$180 a year (divided by 52)
>Mexican grocery for lengua and some epic hot peppers that you can't handle because you're a pussy
9 pesos

It takes me my entire Saturday and Sunday to make all the necessary stops and most of the perishables have already gone bad by the time I get home, but I am NOT allowing whole foods to pull the wool over my eyes.
