If you're looking for an international market this isn't it…read more If you're looking for primarily an asian market then this is the place you're looking for. i will let the pictures speak for themselves for the most part. what is not showing (and what was lacking today) was the fresh seafood in aquarium tanks in the back part of the store. i can't rightly remember all there was but quite a bit of shellfish. speaking of which, the frozen section is full of seafood. all the different types of fish you see on your favorite asian youtube cooking channels. the one thing i'll caution you about is KNOW WHAT YOU'RE BUYING BEFORE YOU DO. we bought fish to try something new and as soon as it had thawed out the entire house smelled like ass and stayed that way for daayyyyyys. a good selection of fresh vegetables and fruits. beef, pork, chicken. a lot of eggs. there is also a pharmacy there. btw i don't think they have japanese mayo. we looked everywhere.

Roger's Produce is a gem. No, it's not fancy, and it's definitely not in pristine shape either…read more However, if you want to support a family owned business instead of giving overpriced grocery stores your money, this is the place to do it. I feel better going here than Kirkwood Farmer's Market because it's lesser known and the prices are cheaper. Don't get me wrong, I love both, but Roger's is cheaper and sometimes has even better looking vegetables. They have a pretty good selection of pumpkins; most are uniquely shaped/colored. Nice spot!

It gets crowded on the weekends. If you try and stagger the time that you go, it may not be as busy. Parking is meter/paid parking, but you may luck up and find free parking.

It is one of my favourites.I have a few preferred produce stands i love going to for fresh fruits and vegetables. And don't forget about the flower shop.

Review Title: 4 Easy steps to 52 Saturdays of CONTROLLED CHAOS!…read more The MUST-DO thing for all St. Louis'ians and Non-St. Louis'ians. But you gotta do it right! Step 1: Schedule a Saturday off to yourself (yes, the Market's open Wed-Sat, but you get 100% vendorship on Saturdays) Step 2: Set your alarm clock EARLY! The trick is the "when" do you get there? Wait til the later hours of the day.. and every shop will be empty that you went for! I've learned this too many times in my sleep-in days, to get there way too late to find so many of the shops sold out, or the "runts" of the sales left. So figure out Early and then getup before then! Step 3: Get in your car and go shopping!!! (Follow the map of course!) Plain and simple you want fresh produce.. this is where you go. Whether it's veggies,. meats, baked goods, coffee, soaps, sweets, snacks, and even alchy beverages if you so desire! (and you just might as the day goes on) Get there early and load up! (Just warning you, you may have to make a few runs between your shops and your car, considering what you -could- load up on. Now as stated by many, it's a smorgasboard of what you can find, all along the entire market. (but just a word of advice, whatever you buy at the market, please clean and store PROPERLY as soon as you get home, this is a farmer's market and you can lose some fresh produce REALLY QUICK!) And just remember you're going to have to fight your way through the crowds. because EVERYONE and their relative knows to come here. (Picture yourself in a demolition derby with everyone.. cause that's what it's going to feel llike... Controlled Chaos! **See I knew I'd fit the title in here somewhere*) I will admit you there are some vendors that sell the usual "touristy wares" on occasion, such as "gold jewelry", Sports uniforms (Battlehawks, Cardinals, Blues), you know the quick .. touristy stuff. But the real value is the food and the food 'trucks', including BBQ , New Orleans style cuisine, mediterranean.. you know everything you can find at a farmer's market :) STEP 4: And to top off the day. a real daiquiri or bloody mary to seal the deal! And there you have it folks... 4 steps to a Controlled Chaos of a Saturday in the Lou!!

Jay's international market is the go-to place in S City to buy many international foods and produce…read morethat you're looking for. I have been there several times for produce, European foods, and international snacks. I like that the store is laid out by country, which makes it so much easier to find what I'm looking for. Some of the male workers that I have encountered have always been really helpful in helping me find what I'm looking for or some type of substitute.

If you go up and down every aisle, it's like a trip around the world…read more As you shop, you will find items that you didn't know you needed. Also, don't be afraid to ask employees questions, they'll be happy to assist. My last visit, I was with a friend who was shopping to make spring rolls and he got assistance from a little old Vietnamese lady who was a customer herself. Listening to her explain all the detailed steps made us both smile. Be smart when shopping the canned goods, some items can be more expensive. However, the fresh vegetables are always a good value. The meat department makes me cringe, but I know that is just me being quirky. My friend gives it a thumbs up. Customer service is okay, nothing outstanding and nothing bad. It's just okay. The cashiers get you out the door in an orderly way.

Not one of the greatest Aldi's around. This one is closest to our house, but we often go to South…read moreCounty instead. It can get crowded. Early in the morning is the best time to go. Sometimes there aren't even any carts. There's usually 1, maybe 2, check outs open with long lines, but it moves pretty quickly. There are no self check outs, because, well, it's south city. Take that for what you will. The selection is not as good as county locations. It's like this is the red headed step child of Aldi, and they only get some of the stuff you can get elsewhere. Cleanliness? It's ok. Not bad, but not stellar. Staff are usually really nice. I did find an open, unattended box cutter knife laying on top of some canned goods, which was a little irresponsible. I go here if I want a quick few items. I have done pick up from here, and they're usually pretty quick getting my stuff out to the car.

Every trip begins with me forgetting a quarter for the cart--because apparently, I'll never learn. So I'm out in the parking lot, digging through cup holders like a caffeinated raccoon, wondering how my life got here. Inside? It's Aldi... but rough around the edges. Cramped aisles, half-stocked shelves, and a vibe that screams "we tried... kinda." You'd think more of Aldi, honestly. I go in hoping to score a few basics and end up in an existential crisis somewhere between the dented cans and mystery meats. Still, the prices are great, the checkout is lightning fast, and I leave with a random candle, six yogurts I didn't need, and a bruised ego from bagging groceries at warp speed. Aldi, I love you--but this location needs a little TLC. And maybe a mop.

Lots of…read moreparking available depending on how far you want to walk lol We found parking inside the park, maybe less than a 10 min walk. It's pretty huge, but I was hoping more local farmer/produce options. This was cute though because the center of it was a playground, and a pavilion for a live band. We eventually found a few spots we bought from. Is it worth the drive from St Charles? Eh, lol but it was nice to finally visit.
