| - A grocery store that mostly sells real food! You know the basic layout of most grocery stores: the two edges sell real food (produce on one end and dairy/bread/eggs on the other), and then the middle is stuffed with expensive stuff that doesn't really do you right (with the exception of grains, sugar, spices, cooking oil, and such somewhere in the middle).
Bombay is my go-to place for just about all of the staples. They have really great, cheap produce, including delicious things like okra and little eggplants and curry leaves that you can't easily find elsewhere. They have a whole aisle of affordable spices. They sell local(ish) dairy products, including really good commercial yogurt. They have more legumes and nuts and rice than you can shake a stick at--and all for waaaay cheaper than "health" food stores. Oh, and they sell flax seeds for cheap here, too.
The free meal with a purchase of over $30 or $35 or whatever is great, too, but it's seriously hard to spend that much money at Bombay unless you're just buying, like, frozen meals and giant packages of incense.
