I am constantly amazed at the prices I come across at my local ethnic shops. For instance a local Mexican farmer's market often has avacados 5 for 3 dollars, and nice one at that. Farmer's markets in general have wonderful prices, and better quality produce.

My favorite Asian supermarket also has wonderful prices. Sriacha sauce for $2.49 vs. $4 at my regular grocery store, huge bottles of good soy sauce for under $2. I can go on forever. Not to mention great prices on knifes and other cooking utensils.

Also I must say these type of shopping excursions are always fun for me as I am a product packaging junkie, and a professional people watcher. If I had kids, I would schlep them along so they could see that there was life beyond the megamart.

Thank you for the great post.
