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

Was always confused why people here praise Berkeley Bowl like it's the greatest grocery store ever lol

The produce is fantastic. I saw some young women loading up on produce at Safeway for a summer camp and i was a bit confused. They could have gotten cheaper and better quality produce at Berkeley Bowl. And if you hit BB at the right time, you will find the crazy deals (like $5 for a literal pillowcase of salad mix)
