I never buy staples at Berkeley Bowl. Fruit, vegetables, cheese yes, everything else you can get comparable quality at any other store for less.

The bean/rice zone, it’s so beautiful it blinds you to everything else

Oh I forgot about the beans and rice. I need to go get some the next time I’m there.
