C-Town Supermarkets

This is a normal supermarket. The prices are always very low. The guy who runs the meat counter is very nice and he never gets mad when I have a lot of complex requests– like slicing the ham at ¼″ or getting just a quarter pound of every single meat (to make a party platter.) You won’t run in to many lines here– it’s a relaxed place to shop. They give you a free Daily News paper if you come during the day. A lot of old people shop here. Some of the time they have Ox tails. (I never buy those!) Things like milk and meat are fresh and good quality. They have kale and greens and these are better than the fruit… which could be a lot better (I never buy apples here, go to the green market on Grand Concourse on Tuesdays instead!)
You can get enough to eat all week for about $ 35 for two people. That’s not so bad, if you’re trying to do some frugal living.
