Imported food often comes with gourmet price tags. Not so in the grocery’s international section, where food can be had for less than better-known brands. An added plus: no special trips or coupons.
In an article this week at Buttoned Up, I talk about how to Explore the Ethnic Aisle to Save Money at the Supermarket, including finding delicious espresso at a fraction of the cost.
See you at Buttoned Up!
You know where I’ve found great, CHEAP ethnic foods? BIG LOTS. There are things there I can’t get anywhere else in my small rural-ish town, like Israeli couscous and certain spices, and real Asian noodles. They also have a great selection of weird (and wonderful) flavorings and sauces that apparently never took off or were over-purchased by large chains. Now we make a point of going there once a month just to check out their foods!
