Tips for groceries while living in Microcentro

[HeyBA]

Hi all,

I'm living in Microcentro, pretty close to Alem and thus Puerto Madero. There's a Chino near me. The Chino has a verduleria, but the prices are high.

Does anyone know a reasonable verduleria in the area?

Or has anyone else had to live in Microcentro and have a good strategy for grocery shopping?

Thanks

We normally buy from the Jumbo and Avicar in Puerto Madero, but have also ordered online from http://www.talloverde.com/ and http://www.mercadopremium.com/

As my Chinese friends say, Alem long street. The green guy I use is on San Martin between Paraguay and Marcelo T. Beef and chix too. Small and sometimes closes for lunch.

It might be a bit of a distance from you but even though I live near the Jumbo in Puerto Madero, I always buy my fruit and veg at the Mercado de San Telmo (located between four streets: Defensa, Bolívar, Estados Unidos and Carlos Calvo) http://wander-argentina.com/san-telmo-market/

@ BA_Life

I was there on Sunday and the prices didn't seem very nice to me. Any tips on a stand?

For me the prices seemed to improve when my spanish improved! I also made sure that the stand I used last time saw me at another ;-)

Once they saw me as a local, then I got a better deal and sometimes some freebies.

However, food prices are high everywhere right now but the quality in the market seemed better to me.
