Today’s new find is a gem just minutes from Camp Foster. If you are paying any attention at all when you go to the Commissary, you have noticed the prices are going up and up on fresh produce. And the quality, well frankly put..sometimes sucks!
I have the answer…A Fresh Farmers Market straight out the Sergeant Major Gate of Camp Foster. Takes like 3-5 minutes to get to. They have anything and everything there and it is dirt cheap. We go there 2-3 times a week for all the fresh yummies. I pick M up from school and down the road we go. She loves it there because they have a pet monkey, cat, kittens and a hamster. The folks there are super nice and let her hang out in the back. She gets to see some animals and I get to shop for fresh food for a fraction of the cost. I take my reusable bag and fill it up. Normally it is about 7 bucks that I spend for a FULL bag..You know the green bags at the Commissary. They are huge!! That is how reasonable the fruits and veggies are there.
Directions…Go STRAIGHT out the Sergeant Major Gate (Westpac gate..NOT gate one that is under construction currently). You will drive over a little bridge with the Express way under it..Then take a RIGHT..There is a little pink sign in the road that says, ” Cherry Blossom Preschool” Follow the road until it “T’s” then take a RIGHT…follow the curvy road…the market will be on the left hand side on a curve at the bottom of the hill. There is a red light just past the market. They only take yen.

And for M’s Grands and PawPaw back home…Here she is calling you…
She ran into this dirty, disgusting, germ invested…did i mention dirty, phone booth..just so she could call her grands and pawpaw and let them know she is coming to Texas where the armadillos and cows are.


Happy Shopping and see you next week!
