This is one of my favorite finds in Tempe. If you cook and you are starting a kitchen, this is definitely a first stop. Baking sheets for $5, 50lbs of brown or white rice for under $25 and in the summer watermelons for $3.
Another reason I really like this place is that they, though the guys working here are cold and kind of grumpy, they always answer my questions (even if it takes a bit of investigation) and they always are willing to weigh a box of oranges for me (even if I don't buy it sometimes); they seem distant, but they are pretty cool people.
