One of the reasons I love Davis Square

I love McKinnon's Market. They have the best prices on meat - and the best quality of meat - that I have found anywhere in town (including Chinatown!) Here's what I bought today:

Beef Top Round: 2.52 lbs @ $2.29/lb = $5.77
Chicken Tenderloins (boneless, skinless, breast cutlets): 4.23 lbs @ $1.49/lb = $6.30
Lamb Steak (very lean!): 1.13 lbs @ $3.99/lb = $4.51

7.88 lbs of MEAT...$16.58!!!

I just wanted to share...in case you didn't realise what bargains were to be had so close to home. Barbecue season isn't far off, you know! (yay)

i was pleasantly surprised the first time i discovered that. I've always been really happy with the quality of meat and produce. I never buy meat from star market anymore - too many scary experiences! yick! still have to go sometimes though to get the things mckinnon's doesn't carry.

You mean the Horrible Star Market? That's its full name, you know - I always use all three of its names, too. Like John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald, vicious criminals always get three names.

I hate that place. And I am - literally - a block away from it. I only go there for the absolute necessities: Pierogies and Tortellini and Pastas (frozen)...heavy things like canned tomato sauce and salsa verdi and cat litter...dairy items and orange juice. And even then, if I can, I get my milk and juice at the CVS.

I shop at the Evergood on Mass Ave. a lot. Mainly, though, I go to Chinatown (Super 88 and Mei Tung) for the bulk of my groceries. And Subzi Mundi or Shalimar, too, when I am doing Indian. And the Reliable in Union Sq. for Korean and Japanese...oh, and Kotobukiya, too.

The Market Basket has great produce, too, especially if you're looking for Mexican/South American ingredients. And Johnny Foodmaster on Beacon often has excellent specials...

Um. Can you tell how much I loathe the Horrible Star Market? And to what great lengths I'm willing to go to not shop there...bearing in mind that I can almost see it at the end of my street...and I do not drive.
