Fresh Market
Smart Buys
Must-Tries
With the opening of the Shoppes at
Legacy Park on McFarland Boulevard,
Tuscaloosa is adding to a growing list
of restaurants and retailers. Bed Bath
& Beyond, World Market, Chuy’s and
Dick’s are all here to stay, as is our
new favorite grocery store, The Fresh
Market. Focusing on high-quality produce,
specialty products, and an ample
organic selection, The Fresh Market is
the perfect place to get all your grocery
shopping done, and with some tips, you
might even save a little money.
Money Saving Tips
Take advantage of $3.99 Tuesdays
— On Tuesdays boneless, skinless
chicken breast and ground chuck
are both $3.99 a pound. Both versatile
proteins are perfect for freezing
to cook later. If you’re nervous about
handling raw chicken, the meat counter
will cut and package your selections
however you like.
$ We also highly recommend trying
their pre-made choices like their chicken
roll ups, which are an easy and delicious
option for a busy college student.
Make nice with the bakery. Ever
make just a couple burgers then have
six extra buns leftover that end up getting
tossed? The Fresh Market bakery
handles this wasteful dilemma by
selling buns and other bread in small
batches.
$ Go online or pick up an in-store
print of the weekly specials. They offer
ideas of what you can make for the
week and what will also be on sale.
$ Get the gang together for a
Thursday Little Big Meal. For $20
you select one of two types of meat,
then add a produce, dairy, rice or pasta,
and a bakery selection. By splitting
the $20 among the group, dinner is a
great deal.
$ Fresh Market is all about sampling.
So if you are not sure if splurging
on the organic, gluten-free, sugar-free,
antioxidant-rich fungi cookies
is worth it, just ask an employee to try
them! They will be happy to open up a
bag for you with no charge. Or if you’re
in the salad line and not sure which olives
you like, just try one. They would
much rather you not go home disappointed.
