Let's face it. How many times have you gone into a grocery store and cringed at the vegetable isle? Sometimes it is so bad, I make a bee-line straight for the frozen or canned section. It used to be even worse when I lived here in 2000, but it has greatly improved since then. But despite these improvements, the limp vegetables are still a huge turn-off.
Here's a word to the wise for you about shopping on Guam: New shipments come in the middle of the week, so Wednesdays and Thursdays are great days for fresh produce.
By the weekend, the veggies are pretty soft. I've had some luck at California Mart and Cost-U-More... er... Cost-U-Less (Guam's version of Costco or Sam's Club, no membership required) on the weekends for fresh but very limited produce.
So the best shopping days are midweek, which includes trips to Simply Foods (remember they are closed on the weekends and by 3pm on Fridays). Whether it is California Mart or Payless, good luck to you on your gathering trips to the grocery stores.
