>> Protip: look for an Asian market in your area for food.

Second this! Especially for things like produce and herbs. You literally get 10-20x the cilantro, etc at an Asian market for the same price (I think they are loss leaders.) And oh the aroma....you dont know fresh herbs until you step into a Patel Brothers and get truly fresh cilantro.

We've gotten to a point where we know what to get where and shop accordingly.
