[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I shop in bulk and I shop from Costco and from ethnic markets.

The fact that I can cook from scratch,  I can cook many different cuisines, and I am familiar with many different kinds of ingredients allows me a lot of flexibility.  My friends comment on the veggies I buy from ethnic stores because they have never seen or tasted it, let alone cook it. [/quote]

Shopping at various ethnic markets to save money is not realistic for working parents with kids. [/quote]

That depends entirely on where you live.

Fairfax has an H-Mart, 99 Ranch, and India Bazaar all within like 5 minutes of each other. Wheaton has an H-Mart, a Vietnamese grocery, and countless smaller Hispanic stores all next to each other. Rockville and Gaithersburg both has many ethnic supermarkets.

In fact I'd be hard pressed to find more than a handful of neighborhoods in the area where you don't have at least one ethnic supermarket, mainly the whitest of white bread suburbs so I guess it's unsurprising that DCUM believes nobody lives near one. [/quote]

Please tell me where the ethnic supermarkets are within DC. [/quote]
You’re not missing much. H-Mart and Lotte now cost as much if not more than regular grocery stores. [/quote]
