As a child I used to be borderline obsessed with the misters and the overall smell and vibe of the produce sections. Always told my mom I wanted to work in one. Thirty years later, purely by circumstance, I manage one for a living. It's not quite what I dreamed of, given that stores in 2025 are no longer poorly lit nor smell like mothballs and old air conditioning/refrigerant, but I still enjoy my career.
As a young adult of the 90's all I see here is Legionnaire's disease.
It has to be sat for a while, outside of certain temperatures, for that.
It’s quite warm in the north east of the U.K. at the minute, please do this to me.
I buy all my fruits and veggies straight from the orchard, farm stands or the Amish. Often the products are dirty, have flaws, uneven shapes and varying states of ripeness. I can pay .90 for a cucumber at the store or, five for a dollar at the stand or, pick my own at the Amish farm for .10 a piece. I haven't shopped in a store since the Covid price hikes. I now eat better, lost weight, cholesterol, sugar and BP all down. I also planted my own berries, plum and apple trees. Cannabis, too. I can wash my own damn fruit. Just say no to corporate greed.
We have a huge Farmers Market open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Its about 10 minutes from my home. Really good deals on fruits, vegetable & baked goods. The deals are even better if you show up about an hour before closing. In today's economy you have to watch every penny spent.
And later in the summer you can find pick up trucks parked at the side of the road offering sweet corn for far less than you would ever be able to get at a grocery store
Seems like a complete flip to what we have here in the UK, Aldi is by far cheaper than any farmers market I have seen.
There's a big difference between a farm stand and a farmers market.
Farm shops are also really expensive here
Like, a farm shop at the farm itself, or on the side of the road nearby? That's what a farm stand is.
Where I'm at they're usually a glorified lean-to. Ran by either a kid or an old, never anyone in-between. Or just the honor system. Usually has excellent produce for real cheap.
In the US a “farmers market” typically means that a city or town shuts down a few streets and farmers come from their rural farms to the city center to sell their produce. The prices can trend high, because the focus tends to be on quality and known provenence.
What the parent poster is describing is not farmers markets, but farm stands. You have to go to them instead of them coming to you, which is where the savings come from. It might not be worth it depending on the value of your time.
Most farmers markets I've seen have dedicated space, no street shutting necessary. There's one open every day a couple miles from my house.
Farm shops are usually even more expensive.
Same here, and those Aldi cucumbers are like 1,50€ or a little more.
I've been on some patios in the summer that actually do this. It does feel very good.
On a horribly hot summer day in Australia, I've been known to hang out in the vege section of the supermarket for the misters before heading off to buy deeply unhealthy things that taste better
I don't think you would feel that much being a vegetable, but since no person has ever come back from the vegetable state you just can't tell.
I think a coma is distinct from a vegetative state. If I'm remembering correctly, a vegetative state involves some disease or injury that has done permanent damage in a way that the person involved will never "wake up".
