Lolita's Comida Corrida Much Better Than Fast Food
 Sylvie Scopazzo
Comida Corrida menus can be found in many different restaurants throughout Puerto Vallarta and I have to say, it's the best kept secret around. I would think this is mostly due to the fact that many tourists have yet to discover this inexpensive lunch option.

Why Does Food Cost So Much?
 Annie White
I am at Whole Foods in Toronto, Canada, where I just bought two plums and a banana for almost $5.00. Steep prices are standard at fancy Whole Foods.
