Like, I know most chicken is grown in the most unsanitary conditions possible and it can’t possibly be healthy to buy the standard stuff at the grocery store (or is it?).
What about fruits and veggies? Can I just buy that stuff at the cheapest store without it causing more cancer than the higher priced options?
Trying to find the perfect combination of cheap, nutritious, and bereft of microplastics.

Yeah, those places are always slow to the draw on price hikes, thank god. I spent a summer eating largely chili tofu or kim chi (homemade or otherwise).
Do this. Also, if you’re nice to the store owner the price might drop. When I go to Asian markets white and introverted as I am, I pay white people prices (still competitive compared to supermarkets), but when my girlfriend who kind of looks like she could be Turkish goes and greets the staff with “Assalam aleikum” she gets ridiculous discounts, sometimes a third of the white people price.
