Seasonal Veggies and Fruits

[smith744]

Hi Lo is a local supermarket chain... they are available island wide.

They get much of their local produce from the same farmers as do the smaller vendors...

ummmmm

i unna-stan your point,
BUT they key-word in your post is "..much.."

for example,
there's a guy in *my* Lucea-neighborhood (and several others in the area)
who do not supply HiLo, and other supermarkets (e.g., the China-man groceries),
but they do supply small vendors at the market, and/or sell their wares themselves at the market.

and of course they also carry many more items than do any of the smaller vendors.

that's tru tru
IF you include the pre-packaged goods (e.g., cereal, Pampers, drinks in bottles & cans, one-ply toilet paper, Bop roach spray, pastries, bread, female hair products, blue laundry soap, etc., etc. etc.)

Nevertheless,
for-me,
for the most part,
under most situations,
I stay away from HiLo for my fresh produce, veggies, fruits

i'm picky-picky about my produce stuff

that stuff in HiLo & ValueMaster just don't *look* right to me & my eyes. 'Tis hard to explain, but there IS a difference (to me).

of course, the best-est is from somebody's yard ---- stuff that never makes it to the markets and/or chain-grocery.

oh
oh
oooooooooooooh::::::::::>>> and the MOST-important thing:::>> because money is '.dear.' (for me):::::>>> HiLo & ValueMaster are waaaaaaaaaaaaay to expen$ive (for me).
