The Arabic market near me seems like its about half the price of the regular grocery chain stores. A lot of times these places are nearby but people aren’t aware of them for some reason.
Arabic markets tend to be family-owned businesses which buy goods in small quantities at a price and then sell them for a similar price, as they rely on local Muslims being a loyal customer base. That’s how they see it fit as a halal business, being of benefit to the Muslim community rather than seeking profit no matter what…
That is a good call. I will have to try to check out some of the smaller stores near me. I do like grabbing stuff from the Asian mega mart, but that’s far away so I wait until I have a big list of things I need. Their fruit hasn’t been that great, but they do have lots of great greens and other veg. They are my favorite place to get spices as well since they are so much more reasonably priced too.
Maybe try smaller supermarkets like a Mexican market if you have them near you, often times they get local veggies and fruit and sell cheaper
