This is my go to market for my veggies and fruits. I can get my favorite bundles such as oranges, apples, pears, onions, peppers, potatoes and plaintains for just a couple of bucks a bag. Everyone is always very friendly and its multicultural friendly so you can get a good variety of asian, european and caribbean goods here.
I've never used the deli section (since I'm not a big sandwich person), but I've heard it's great too.

A&N continues to keep their prices lower than everyone else in G'town and Mt Airy. Bulk spices and grains, Eastern European and Jamaican juices and products, snacks, and a nice selection of fresh, local produce (pre-bagged, starting at about $2.00/bag). Back up the car, pop the trunk, and get your veggie on. (Healthier: It's right on the H line if you want to walk there and ride back).

I live across the street from this place and really appreciate it. You can grab a bag if apples or oranges for a buck or two. One of the cheapest places around to get decent produce.
Their deli is yummy too. They make decent hoagies as well. Over all a good cheap produce stand in the neighborhood. -

This is my favorite place in the city to get produce! (Even though the fruit sellers in Reading Terminal are much closer with comparable prices. Irrational love of Germantown; can't fight it) It's a no frills establishment, but don't be scared by the lack of labeling, bright lighting, and decorations. Whatever keeps the prices where they are is fine by me. The tables are always laden with Tons of fresh fruit and vegetables no matter the season. They are sold as sets in clear bags instead of individually. Most bags are around $1.50 or $2. Where else can I get a nice bag of cherries in winter for $2? Or 5 red bell peppers for $2? If I lived closer by, I'd be coming here every day.
They've also got bags of herbs, both fresh and dried, and candy for the less healthful sweet tooth. Don't be afraid of the line either - the no-nonsense cashiers are more efficient than McDonald's.
I usually forget that the deli exists, but it is there and I've had a positively delightful turkey hoagie from there. Another nice plus: parking lot. And unless you like ATM fees, definitely remember to bring your cash. You won't need much :) -

A&N bills them self as a bit of a health food store, but it doesn't have your standard health food store food--no tofu, no supplements, etc. What they do have is pretty good produce and pretty awesome produce. Oh, and POM juice.
A few months back I read something about a lady getting into an altercation with the owner over some spoiled berries she bought, but I haven't had any problems with quality or service.
They also have bags of beans, couscous, corn meal, turbinado (raw sugar), and loaves of bread and one of the widest selections of tea that I've seen in a non-tea store all for roughly $1.50. Though most of the produce is seasonal (a plus in my book), they always have the staples and usually even have fresh herbs. I generally stop here every night on my way home to get dinner, as does the rest of the neighborhood.
A deli is also in the building (you pay at the same register), and though they have reasonably priced (and pretty yummy) sandwiches, this is not the place to get lunch meat for the week.
Eggs and milk are also available and pretty reasonable.
This is a CASH ONLY establishment. There is a line for check out from 8am til 7pm, but it moves quickly. Definitely check it out.
UPDATE: I found tofu there yesterday, though they only have firm--no extra firm.Listed in: My Neighborhood--G-town

I go to this place at least once a week. The selection great, prices unbelieveable. They also have tofu, milk eggs, yougurt, kefir, spices, a deli, house plants, nuts. I can't imagine shopping in a supermarket for these items when you get so much more for your money here.

I live around the corner and love to come here for produce i however wish that there things were local / organic being this is Germantown but I deal with it.. The stuff is dirt cheap Which is good .. My one qualm with getting such a large selection for so little is that sometimes I don't need that much of a certain item . I love the inexpensive grains etc especially the quinoa .. Some non produce items are z little higher than other places but all in all a really good part of the neighborhood..
I dropped a star because though I personally don't eat meat their deli has 2 slicers which means that all types of meats are sliced on the same slicer which to me is funky since the girl there doesn't clean the blades after each cut to ensure there is no cross contamination of the meats . And if one slicer is broken I've seen them slice meat and cheese on the same one which is y I stopped buying cheese there
