In Dallas, the above-mentioned Fiesta Mart has good produce deals. In an earlier stint in New Jersey, we bought our fruits and vegetables at a neighborhood store owned by Korean-Americans. The prices were probably a third below a normal grocery store's.

　　我前面提到过的达拉斯Fiesta Mart就非常地物美价廉。之前在新泽西住的时候，我们在一家韩裔美国人开的社区商店里买水果和蔬菜，价格比一般的店要低三分之一。

　　Has anyone seen the arugula? Whole Foods Market isn't called 'Whole Paycheck' for nothing. Doing all your shopping there would be a good way to eat yourself out of house and home.

　　有人关注过芝麻菜的价格吗？全食有机食品连锁店（Whole Foods Market）被称为“月光店“确是名副其实。要想把自己吃到倾家荡产，所有的东西都上这里买就对了。

　　But there some good values in its 365 Everyday Value house brand on everything from olive oil to whole-wheat pasta. You can also do OK buying things like cereals or nuts out of the bulk bins.

　　不过他们店的365 Everyday Value自营品牌商品──从橄榄油到全麦意面，应有尽有──有很多还是很划算的。盛在硕大储藏箱里那些散卖的麦片和坚果也是不错的选择。

　　Read the labels. I usually do, and I'm often surprised what I find. Stores generally give you a volume discount -- but not always. Sometimes smaller boxes actually have a lower per-ounce price.

　　记得看标签。我通常都会看一看，结果常常令我很吃惊。一般说来，大包装的东西有折价──但也并非绝对。有时候小包装的东西单价却更便宜。

　　Another thing to look out for: Instead of lowering prices, some food companies are cutting back on sizes. A few years ago, ice-cream makers quietly downsized the age-old two-quart container to 1.75 quarts. I bought ice cream the other day and noticed several major brands had downsized the standard carton yet again -- this time to 1.5 quarts. Talk about being cold-hearted.

　　还有一件事敬请留意：有些食品厂商非但价格没降，可在份量上却下了工夫。几年前，霜淇淋厂商就悄无声息地把历史悠久的两夸脱包装缩水成了1.75夸脱。前两天我买过霜淇淋，发现有几个大牌子把标准纸盒子又改小了一些──这一次是改成了1.5夸脱。真是太狠了。

　　I did discover one exception. Whole Foods still sells its house-brand ice cream in two-quart containers.

　　不过我还是发现了一个例外，全食连锁店的自营品牌霜淇淋还是两夸脱装的。
