Gaudio and Son Produce

How do you pick between two different produce stands? They both seemingly have the same kinds of produce. They both seemingly have similar prices. The staff of both are similar: rough around the edges, but always ready to strike a deal and nice once you’ve listed your third or fourth item of purchase.
I’m thinking it really comes down to a matter of preference and necessity. Gaudio has good produce and seems to be more crowded than it’s very close rival, but I don’t think it necessarily blows it out of the water. It does, however, beat Kroger & co. hands down in price and quality.

I love coming here to buy my produce while I’m shopping at Findlay Market. The employees are quick and helpful and the prices are really great.
I tend to hi-​jack one of the employees and slowly make my way from one end of the tables to the other just picking up bunches of everything and handing it to the employee. They package each thing up and throw them in a pile. Then at the end they price it out and I give them the cash. I spend about $ 20 — $ 30 every few weeks or so stocking up with their produce that is not only good quality, but cheap. I will get everything I need in one place and take it all home!
They are at the market most weeks Friday through Sunday so go and stock up!

Like Christoffer wrote, the produce here is plentiful and pretty! We wandered around and admired the huge watermelons (even yellow ones), good deals on red & yellow peppers and the enormous selection of everything edible.
After buying our fish for dinner at Luken’s, we came back through and bought a couple of ears of corn here. The corn was marked 50 cents per ear or 5 for $ 1. We paid cash, got a brown paper sack to carry the corn in; it’s that simple.

I feel like I’m dealing with an old Italian family here. There’s a way to get a deal, and there are offers that can’t be refused, but I can’t imagine how this can be done. So I hand over my cash for the plump tomatoes and astonishingly large onions, take a second glance at the zucchini and corn (among the dozens of other vegetables that cover this stand around the end of the market house), see the old man already completing another transaction, and just walk away.
After all, it was a good deal in the first place, right?
(Yes it was.)
Anyway, whiffs of mafioso aside, this is a great stand to stock up on all the produce staples, though you won’t find those rarities, oddities or localities.
