Fresh Market
 
I just got back from Fresh Market. That's a new store for me. Here's what happened. I pick up a jar of something, looked at the brand name, didn't recognize TFM, looked at the price, mumbled something under my breath and put the jar back.

This happened 4 times in a row when I realized that I had been mumbling TFM, but not the acronym, after I read the price. So now I know what it stands for: The first word was Too and the last word was Much.

LOL! One time the item I was searching for was only available at Fresh Market, every other store was out ...and it was actually cheaper there...;)

I do like the store....don't generally do weekly shopping there, but do try to stop in once a month or so for the things that are special for us.

All kidding aside, it is a great store. Last week I bought the cod that was on sale and it was amazing. I am so tempted by all those breads. They are the best around. But they can be a little high on prices. I bought an 8 oz baby eggplant today which is pretty small and cost $3. [gulp]

But it will taste great later

Try their Tuesday specials. Can not beat price for chicken cutlets and chop meat.

Their meat is the best we've found in the area and it is reasonably priced.

I did on tuesday last week and you are right. I got the milk too for $2.99. But it's hard to walk past that bread and not buy 4 loafs.

Agree, If I want quality I go to Fresh Market. Look at Publix prices lately and you'll find Fresh Market isn't much more and sometimes a little less like on their deli meats and the quality of meat and baked goods is far and above Publix.

The Fresh Market is a specialty store - they have items that you wont find anywhere else. They have the best Meat (selection and quality) in the Villages and no one else has the nice Crusty bread that was remember from up north. The Bakery is awesome and the produce always fresh. Yes a bit pricey, but stick with the sale items and you wont be dissapointed...

And their Thursday Meal Deals can't be beat! Yum! :mmmm:

Too many temptations in TFM

Best sourdough bread here. Almost as good as Tadich's in SF (and that says a lot). Pricey but worth every penny.

Tomwed, you can sign up online to receive emails about TFM's weekly specials. Too bad they keep the bread back by the seafood & meat! Maybe a clothespin?
