I know this might be hard for some to believe, but even Central Market and Whole Foods Market shoppers are looking for ways to save money on groceries these days. They'd do well to take a look at "Your Money: Food-shopping tips direct from the store manager" in the New York Times, in which Cleveland's Tom Heinen, who with his twin brother runs Heinen's Fine Foods, talks about tips that go beyond coupon-clipping and sale-hopping. In it, Heinen makes good points about not wasting food ("How much food do you throw out?"), scouting for the best artisan deals (you ought to be able to find a good olive oil for under $10), buying local and other ideas. During this time of year, Central Market always scores high on commitment to local produce. Today in the store, I saw Texas peaches, blueberries, Jacksonville Best tomatoes, fresh herbs ($1 a bunch - you can't beat that), portobello mushrooms and tomatoes on the vine in red, orange and yellow clusters. And yes, you can find good olive oil under $10. |
