Shopping in Marfa

Trifecta (noun) - any achievement involving three successful outcomes.

Marfa has three stores that sell groceries and general provisions. Most days, any substantial shopping list will involve a stop at all three.

The Get Go is a great store with a fantastic wine selection, fresh local vegetables and herbs, and a ton of organics. Also, the largest selection of mate that we have seen since visiting Argentina. Teas, fabulous fruit spreads, curry, fresh bread, organic cleaning supplies, energy bars, reusable water bottles and bags. Gourmet chocolates and excellent cheeses of many varieties. 208 S. Dean.

Pueblo Market is an independent market. They carry the normal grocery stuff: conventional produce, store brand items (Shure-fine). A wine and beer selection. They have meats and cheeses and breads, Little Debbie snack cakes, and the requisite Dr. Pepper knock-off. I saw a can of lice remover, but came up empty-handed when shopping for a comb. 717 W. San Antonio.

Finally, Dollar General, a chain discount store. If you need plastic ware, a colorful Bobbie Brooks tank top, batteries, a bag of ice, basic cosmetics or sunscreen, vinyl place mats, a comb, imitation maple syrup or commercial white bread, this is the place. On the east side of town town towards Alpine: 501 E. San Antonio St.
