Temptation at Kowalskis

I didn’t want to take the hike to Cub, the local cheap grocery chain, so I went to the nearby chichi grocery store named Kowalski’s. You know a place is fancy when you’re shopping on carpet.

We actually have several chichi grocery stores in the city – Lunds, Byerly’s, Trader Joe’s – and several farmer’s markets. Kowalski’s is pricey, but Lunds is the only place where I have ever paid $15 for grapes.

Although, to be fair, Rainbow, one of the “cheaper” grocery stores, also has some ridiculous prices:

The meat is not “living up to my life” if it’s $23. I’m not that fancy.
