  This green grocer is known by most patrons as Viva Grande Farms. It's the place where people who use fresh fruits and vegetables can keep their kitchens stocked without going broke. People of all ages, income levels and ethnicity shop at Viva Grande. The owners are Korean and almost all of the staff are from Mexico or Guatemala. Listening to the Korean managers speaking Spanish on the store's public address system is one of the high points of my week. Prices range from reasonable to incredibly cheap. I have yet to see any items at Viva Grande cost more than at the mainstay supermarkets in southern Westchester. Grocers like Stew Leonard's in Yonkers, Fairway in Pelham Manor, Stop & Shop in Mount Vernon and New Rochelle, and Shop Rite in New Rochelle charge considerably more for fruits, vegetables, eggs, milk and other staples. There are four distinct shopping areas of this store: -- The outdoor market is where inventory changes daily based on what's truly ripe and ready to sell at rock-bottom prices. Some of the prices outdoors are identical to inventory inside the main market, but many of the items are only sold outside. These include multiple varieties of New York State apples (99 cents a pound) and local carrots (50 cents a pound). Other recent deals have included strawberries for $1.49 a quart, small navel oranges for 20 cents each, and green seedless grapes; orange, red and yellow bell peppers for 99 cents a pound, and cantaloupe for $1.99. All outdoor merchandise must be purchased at the outdoor cash registers. The store takes cash and checks; no credit cards. -- MoMo flower shop is a basic florist in a separate building in the parking lot along Centre Avenue. They take cash and credit cards. It's not as well stocked as Sutton Florists, at 296 Huguenot Street, but prices are lower and hours are longer. -- Inside Viva Grande is an exceptionally deep inventory of fruits and vegetables, many Mexican foodstuffs, a much smaller amount of Korean items, dairy and breads. We always consider lemons as a telling sign of price. They rarely go higher than 3 for $1 and sometimes sell for as low as a dime. Compared with stores like Gristedes, where lemons routinely sell for 89 cents, we'll stick with Viva Grande. This week we bought giant fresh navel oranges for 50 cents each, Fuji apples for $1.49 a pound. a 10-pound bag of potatoes for $1.99, eggs for $1.49 a dozen, baby carrots for $1.49 a bag, romaine lettuce for 99 cents, a bag of clementines for $3.99, and four heads of garlic for $1. -- Indoor meat/cheese market and deli. We don't eat meat in our household, and we buy most of our cheese on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. But we have purchased chicken and cheese at Viva Grande in the past. The quality was good and the prices were lower than other grocery stores. We're dedicated fans of Viva Grande and highly recommend shopping there. --
