I just bought prickly pear lemonade powder and it was not even sealed! When I called to check if that’s how the packaging is the lady on the phone told me there aren’t anymore for her to check… I just left the store 15 mins ago and there were 3 packages of it. I highly doubt someone went in 15 mins and bought 3 packages! The lady on the phone was smirky when I called to ask. Check your packages if you go and make sure the stuff you buy is sealed.

Local here born and raised. I love this place normally. I still do. They have a corner on the market for good green chili after fall. Problem is it’s kinda expensive. I get it off season shoulda got more during fall etc but I didn’t have enough money during harvest so I’m stuck getting a bit gouged. I happy to pay it but below is a pic that is kinda a bummer before and after peeled and diced. I buy at least 6 of these a month. I wish there was a bulk option. If so please let me know.

WARNING: they tac on a $1 fee for using a card..... banks only charge them a transaction fee of 1.5% of the purchase amount....so if you go in and buy a container of chilli for 4.95 they are slapping 20% extra on top, that's way more then the bank 1.5% ....... do that to most customers, because most don't use cash, and they've ripped off thousands in the course of the year.... to top it off i bet they tax deduct that money and don't count it as income... which it is.....ripping off the community AND the government.
