Great Wall (GW) is cheaper for veggies than H Mart or Lotte. I shop in several places for different things as DH and I are from two different Asian countries and we both are avid cooks. One of my kids have food sensitivities so we are very careful about getting mostly organic foods.
GW, Patel Brothers, COSTCO, Whole Foods, Lancaster County Market, Halal meat shop, Aldi, Giant. |

| H Mart has gotten really expensive. First with the pandemic, then with inflation. |

Like many things, it depends. I think the prices at Great Wall are good for things like noodles, tea, snacks, dumplings….
I shop at different stores for different things. I also consider the time and travel costs as part of the package, so, sometimes it makes sense to get my cilantro and fish sauce at Whole Foods — because the travel time and costs are very low for me vs Great Wall or Hana Market. I also look for the coupons for Amazon Fresh — which can be great. If I get $20 off of a $40 purchase and buy things on sale and things that rarely go on sale, it’s worth a trip, even though it’s not a store where I can easily do all of my weekly shopping. |
