Is a thread where we can get a sense of our grocery lists and where to find various items. Rmember that items come and go, so be patient.

Here is mine:

Foreigner Food Mart in the 'twon:

A quart of plain yogurt. It's in the back-left of the store in a fridge.
Aus/NZ Hallal ground lamb. 2 kinds. Get the one packaged down under.
Certain spices.

Soft taco shells.
Whole chickens (2 in 1 package)
Miso soup
Dorset Cereal


E-Mart, I-Park Mall, Yongsan

Australian grass-fed beef ground and steaks. (There is a guy in the back butcher shop that lived in England and speaks amazing English.)

And here I thought this was a thread about some online hack to peek into shopping carts, or perhaps some ajumma looking into yours at the grocery store.

What is a "soft taco shell"?

[yellowdove]

I would assume a soft taco shell is a tortilla, which aren't hard to find, seeing as how I have two different kinds in my mini Lotte Mart in my small little part above Masan. Not that difficult to find.

That's basically what I keep on hand. I also often go to the Shinsegae wine shop and buy some nice stinky brie and a bottle of bordeaux, but that's more like once a month, nowadays, as I'm trying to budget a bit more this year.

I get these. They're not amazing alone (cardboard,) but they are a very healthy vehicle for cheese or bean dip. I also sometimes put tomato sauce and mozzarella on them for mini "pizza" that isn't unhealthy. They have 5 grams of fiber and 12 calories each.

Yeah, but I have to go out of my way to go to Costco, and I don't drive, so it'd be a pain. I already go to Itaewon to meet up with friends or my professors on Saturdays, before or after school, and ezshopkorea delivers to my door. I consider it a convenience fee.

I have a gift certificate for Costco, but I've yet to go. When it's warmer, I'd like to check it out, but one of my 2 resolutions this year was to not spend as much on food, and I have a feeling that I'd go nuts there. I've cut my iherb shopping from once a week to once every month or two, to help pay for school.
