|
Hi,
Was wondering if others might be willing to share where they shop online for groceries, toiletries, clothing, etc. Thought it might be nice to have a list of sites all in one place rather than having to sort through the multiple topics....
I recently found iherb.com through another poster so I thought I'd start with that.
http://www.iherb.com
Site in English (located in US?).
Sells natural and organic groceries, toiletries, cleaning products and a few household items
Two options for shipping, both inexpensive but you're limited by weight and total order cost. |

grocery stores are getting better at stocking some foreign items, but you would be amazed at what you can find on gmarket/interpark/etc. just by searching for the right terms. It helps if you know hangul too as sometimes I get more responses by using it rather than roman characters.
While it is true that Nice Deli frequently marks up their prices...they are convenient and its nice that they just lowered the minimum order to $25. Maybe as their business increases they'll have more than one shipment a week. |

| I use nicedeli every few weeks, and placed my first order to exshopkorea.com today. Nicedeli is cheaper for many of the things that I order, but this ezshopkorea has a few cheeses that aren't available without going to Costco. Even the foreign food market doesn't always have brie or camembert (I'm not talking about the weak stuff at Homeplus or Emart). |

| When I consider the mark-ups, I can justify cab fare home from Costco. It's not so bad if you shop during off peak hours and stick to your list. Still, I've got to have my Old Fashioned Quaker Oats from the foreigner market. Most other kinds are gluey and gummy, and I would include the brands that Costco sells in that not-so-delicious category. |

What's the deal with foreigners and cheese here? It's like crack. Every post is filled with "hey where can I find this cheese or that cheese?" "oh, I found this store near the subway that has this cheese" "ah, costco finally got blah blah cheese! my life is complete again!"
Fraks sake people, it's just cheese. I pop into any corner mart on any random street in Seoul and they've got 3 or 4 different kinds of sandwich slice cheese, what more do you need? |

Perhaps my meaning didn't come across as clearly as I intended. Unless you're entertaining a bunch high class blue bloods, what's the point in having all this expensive exotic cheese? 90% of the time, your average everyday Joe in Korea is going to either A - put it on a sandwich or B - melt it on top of something. By that point, it's pretty much going to taste the same. Otherwise, if you're just going to sit around and eat the cheese straight while sipping wine (another odd obsession of foreigners here) well, this will soon turn into another "why have I gained so much weight in Korea" thread. |

I'm part French...you will never understand the subtle nuances of a good cheese/wine. Also, I am in great shape. Sure I would slice brie or camembert and put it on a sandwich...but a HIGH CLASS sandwich made from a croissant or baguette with vastly superior ingredients. |
