Very true, Los Altos is one of the most expensive cities on the Bay Area, if not the entire state. Only a small percentage of Californians can afford to eat like this regularly.
The funny thing is that a lot of these farmers markets have been caught buying the foods opening the packages and then putting them there as "Organic" lmfaooo

I would like to point out A. It is California so makes sense. Also farmers markets the farmers actually make money for once. The $3 packages of strawberries at Walmart the farmer makes like 3 cents per pound pretty much after all the distribution and stuff to grow it.

The right place for me is Costco with a shopping list and not straying from the list, its almost impossible but with determination because i have less money, its possible 😅

Darling shopping at farmers markets is great but try going to some that aren’t located in a tourist spot or overall a popular area. The ones in the smaller cities are wayyy cheaper (i am talking 2$ for a pack of strawberries, 3$ for bread,…) and (in my experience) the food tastes fresher since it isn’t transported and kept in bulk. ❤😊
I live in SC, and we get fresh produce from local farms at Food Lion, Harris Teeter, etc. that are pretty reasonably priced. We have independent farm stands everywhere selling local produce like potatoes, tomatoes, watermelon, etc. for just a couple of dollars. This is absolutely insane to me. If I went to my local grocery store and got these exact things, i’d probably pay around $20, not $80.
You really need to know the right places to shop tho. In Philippines, there are certain farmers' markets that we can ask for the seller if they could lower the prices. In malls, you're gonna look like a Karen if you asked.

Darling shopping at farmers markets is great but try going to some that aren’t located in a tourist spot or overall a popular area.

We have independent farm stands everywhere selling local produce like potatoes, tomatoes, watermelon, etc. for just a couple of dollars. This is absolutely insane to me. If I went to my local grocery store and got these exact things, i’d probably pay around $20, not $80.
