Papalote Mexican Grill

Papalote’s known for its fresh and healthy Mexican food. The original one (that I know of) is on 24th & Valencia. (Thanks to the resident ABM who took me there). Though that time I got a Mole Taco and felt it didn’t taste that authentic compared to the fare in Southern California, this time I ordered a basic Pollo Burrito with black beans and a spinach tortilla for $5.45.

Over on MSN’s Health & Fitness site, author Sally Wadyka writes about 10 little known grocery store facts.

If you’re fond of cheap food and food bargains, however, I hope that some of these grocery store tactics come as no surprise to you:

• Kid-friendly food is purposely placed within their reach.
• They cut up food so they can charge more.
• End-of-aisle displays are there to distract you from your mission.
• Bargains aren’t always a bargain.
