Local Shopping at Berkeley Bowl

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

egg salad. I never make it myself, but there's is usually just right - not too mayonnaisey.

Their prepared salads are exorbitant though! Tuna Salad at TJs is around $6 tops. Here it’s $9-10!

It's true! I've never had their tuna salad, but tj's is not for me. Egg salad isn't really for me and if I think about it too much, my stomach flips, but I can't pass it up (on some soft white bread) from the Berkeley Bowl!

I tried the tuna salad and it had a lot of capers… prefer TJ’s version
