Organicgoddess, I'm new to the area and wondering where these places are. Are they in Vancouver proper? Thanks for the info.

When I was 19 Ramen noodles were my staple during hard times, but now I'm a little older and my palette is a bit more refined. I have made a point of stocking up on potato, tomato, pasta, onion, garlic, cilantro, basil, dried beans, and rice; most of which I have frozen giving me the ability to make it through the next several days. There is no substitute for fresh veggies and seafood. But, I will survive with a smile and a large helping of humility. Thanks for the luck, wishes, and info.

The dollar bins are a great and over looked resource. Especialy if you have the vision and skill to cut off a bruise, or scratch. I would like to thank everyone for there suggestions. I'm very close to having no cash at all, so the cheaper the better. $15 until the 15th of april. What would you buy?

i frequent the dollar a bag specials in a few places. u know, the 'damaged goods'. i find in places where the avrg wealth is higher they are less tolerant of bruised fruit and saggy eggplants -surprise! so the richer neighbourhoods might be a good spot to check. i just noticed the organic place on davie - middle of the block near nasty cobs bread- has one of these dollar bins at the back.
i usually shop for the cheap stuff and share the secrets with my friend who is also from detroit - damn, is that you k?

Corrrect again my friend. Did you ever find that finger?

This is for people who still have either the economic reality or sensibility of the peasant. I fit into the former category. While realizing that Vancouverites, generally speaking, have deeper pockets than folks in my home town of Detroit, there must be some hidden secrets for the discerning gourmand. So for those brave enough to nix the facade of wealth and prosperity. TELL THE TRUTH, where can I find the real deals!

I heard a listing on vancouver radio for Rahana's Roti, or something like that. Maybe with a little research an address can be found. There is nothing nicer then a Trinidadian Roti. Anybody telling you different is lying. a Roti called Buss-Up-Shot has a multi-layered elastic consistency, and is probably the best thing for any kind of curry dish, especially goat. Dhal Pari is probably my next favorite. If you are interested I can link you to some online recipes.
