I actually never considered it a bodega and I am not sure many people who are looking for a quick bite do either. I used to work in the South Bronx. E-mail me, I am curious to learn more about this...debra@beyondprenatals.comBeyond Prenatalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05423539750401855740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7273183457358616508.post-45739931118124942262011-08-18T02:13:35.837-04:002011-08-18T02:13:35.837-04:00Can healthier products be provided at bodega price...Can healthier products be provided at bodega prices and profit margins? I can get a satisfying, tasty, and convenient meal of prepackaged junk for $2 at a bodega. If I could ease my hunger and tickle my taste buds with $2 worth of organic granola and fruit salad (if it was packaged so I could eat it on the street, of course) I might do it. And if the bodega owner could make as much profit as he does on the junk, he might just stock the healthy stuff and sell it to me. Price and convenience matter in the Bronx. It's hard to eat a head of cabbage when your mama kicked you out of her kitchen and you gotta eat on the street. The Bronx is different, bro. We don't live like the Upper East Side housewives who shop at that fancy bodega.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
