I've written about this before, but I love the great ethnic markets here in Chicago. The two in my new 'hood are Andy's Fruit Ranch and Cermak Produce. Cermak is certainly Hispanic focused and Andy's is a little Middle Eastern, Eastern European and Hispanic mixed.

Tonight I went to Andy's to pick up a few things and I'm always shocked at how low the bill is. Here's what I got for $23.74 tonight:

1 gallon skim milk
1 head romaine lettuce
1 head of red leaf lettuce
1 bunch of celery
2 lbs of baking soda
1 1.80 lb cataloupe
1.45 lb green grapes
1.10 lb necatires
1.27 Fuji apples
3 limes
1 huge red onion
1 bulb of garlic
1 large hand of bananas
1 big red pepper
1 lb plum tomatoes
1 jar of Dijon mustard
1 jar of mayo
1 pint of sour cream
1 Milka chocolate bar

That's alot of stuff!!!

It's such a great $$$ saving option compared to going to Dominick's or Jewel everytime I need groceries.
