A good fresh produce shop sells fruit and vegetables that are fresh, local where possible and clearly priced, and turns stock over quickly. Check for firmness, colour and smell, ask staff what is in season and what keeps well, and compare unit prices rather than pack prices. Seasonal produce is usually fresher and better value, and Auckland's market gardens supply a lot of vegetables. Regulars go early in the week for the best choice, buy ripe fruit for the day and firm fruit for later, and bring their own bags and a mix of cash and card.
