I shop in my neighborhood, in a small Hispanic market. Their produce turns over several times a day not once a week. Its cut or weighed to order at the meat case, nothing touches Styrofoam or plastic. Dairy is higher but lucky us, there is a real dairy a mile away. Cleaning supplies are bought at the hardware store and animal food at the feed store. I pass all of those on the way to the market.
