So after two weeks of shopping within about a 2km radius of Andrew's apartment, I had almost given up on the dream of buying organic groceries. Although I found a small selection of local organic veg, dairy, and eggs at The Healthy Butcher, only their meat is affordable. Although I only want to eat local and organic...my wallet said a firm NO to their $5.00 + asking price for 4 eggs.
It seemed that the cheap, but questionable quality of Lucky Moose in Chinatown was about to win me over; but then something miraculous happened! Did I mention that Andrew and I went for dim sum this passed Sunday? Well afterward we decided to cross the street and venture into the Kensington Market area....where I found Essence of Life Organics!!! Not only is it a fully stocked organic grocer, but it is cheap! I bought a full load of groceries (for two people) for just over $40.00. And it only takes about fifteen minutes walking. Needless to say, I am extremely thrilled with this find as it allows me to satisfy my hunger and my morals.
