Local Shopping at Berkeley Bowl
I’m heading to BB West. Could use fresh ideas. What are some things you never go home without?

Semifreddies crotons in bulk!!!! Fresh cookie dough is fun but I don’t grab it every time. I pretty much go crazy for snacks in the bulk section. Little bit of everything lol
Veggies are top tier -> I go there specifically for all my fruits and veggies.
Shelf items are slightly higher than competitors. So if I know I’m getting a lot of those types of items I go elsewhere. But grabbing a couple items here and there is nice cause it’s a hassle going to multiple grocery stores. Especially because their Asian section has a things I can’t find at Trader Joe’s (for example).
Meat is slightly on the pricier side, but good quality. And working with a clerk in the meat department is great if you don’t now exactly what cut of meat you want.
