It’s that time again – snow, cold, wind chills and…..ponche, atole and champurrado from Pete’s!
Ponche is a Mexican hot punch that will warm you from the inside out, filling your house with scents of cinnamon, sugar cane, apples and guavas. To “spike” things up, add your favorite shot of brandy, rum or tequila.

Champurrado and Atole are milk-based drinks. Champurrado is a thick chocolate and Atole is made with milk and pecans.

Come and try Ponche, Champurrado, and Atole and get rid of those winter blues. They will be available for sampling as well as purchase by the cup throughout the winter months.

George T. – This is going to be my number One place now for fruits and vegetables. 1 dollar, buckets 2 buck buckets and 3 buck buckets. We ended up getting all kinds of salad fixings, tomatoes, limes, garlic, peppers, onions the selections is great and shopping on Monday is the way to go because on the weekends this place gets busy!

Up front as Cory Z. said they still have the deal of the day. You can’t go wrong with a whole tray of strawberries for a dollar! A whole case! You need to use them fast as they were clearance. Hell… buy it and give half away to neighbors.

They also have a small prepped food deli to get your carnitas and BBQ.

The staff here are always busy but they take the time to help you find exactly what you need.

Use a basket for quick in and out or get a cart and park it, to do your hunt and gathering with ease.

Money saving tip: Check on FB they have a group page where people discuss the great deals. And the store also answers questions, so its interactive.
