For a while E-mart was doing really well with their imported goods, but now it seems they have nothing anymore. I couldn't even find Perrier there this evening.

What's up with that?

Also - has Korea stopped stocking Kellogg's Cornflake??? I can't find it anywhere.

man, i dunno about that but in the cheese section at my neighborhood Emart they installed this little video player that constantly loops this ten-second video of a girl eating Laughing Cow cheese and going "아, 귀여워! 아, 부드러워!" ("Ah, so cute! Ah, so soft!") and every time I go there to buy cheese it makes me want to SCREAM.

Emart constantly changes their stock though. My favorite brand of yogurt that I buy there every time I go suddenly disappeared last time. And I always buy cabbage (the kind we eat, not the kimchi kind) there but suddenly last time they didn't have any cabbage either.

1) They take what their suppliers give them. People used to drink Perrier before they drank Pellegrino. Pellegrino was kinda last decade. They carry what's in style.

2) (Poster down the line) You'd never seen Asian advertising before you came here?

3) Cabbage isn't in season.

EMart is shite. Do yourselves a favor and promote Homeplus because they actually carry decent products. Unless you like ramyon and spam.

Emart is ghetto. Emart is a price gouger. It is vastly more crowded then Homeplus as well. I avoid Emart like the plague.

E-mart has good dairy, good non-food items (clothes, shoes, etc), and some other things going for it.

Food and produce are not their strong areas. And yes, many foreign products have disappeared. It's like they're degressing.

A few years ago, they were quite affordable, and they had cheese, Dr. Pepper, and many other products I like. Not anymore.

On one good point, they now have pizza by the slice. Huge slices (Costco size), taste okay, but not cheap.
