What's this?!

Fresh limes? Dried cranberries? Dill pickles? REAL bagels? REAL cheesecake? Cranberry juice? REAL American bacon? At least a hundred different bottles of wine? Packages of tortillas? A few different types of jalapenos?

And you don't have to buy a huge amount of everything like you would at Costco.

I mourned the passing of Carrefour, but now I'm not so sure....however, will it last?

Remember guys: each and every supermarket store is different, regardless of the name attached to it.

The Homever that replaced the Carrefour in Cheong-Ju sucks floppy donkey ballz. Is it me or did the prices increase since they took over?

The Homeplus that opened here a few months ago is solid. They have every different kind of Cambells soup imaginable, Bullseye BBQ sauce, a couple different kinds of dill pickles, jalapenos....
They also have cheap white rum.

Dill pickles in the "foreign food" section (next to all the Campbells soups), and the limes were snuggled in next to some mangoes. Oh, and I bought the lime juice too!! Laughing

i'll be back there next weekend buddy. and if i don't find any limes or dill pickles, but i happen to see a black guy in a leather jacket suspended from a rope weilding a flame thrower... i guess what i'm trying to say is 'watch your back, mack'.

What's the big deal with dill pickles? I got a massive jar of delicious dills from Costco for about 5,000.

Also got 2 huge bottles of Thai chili sauce, with no hydrogenated/corn syrup (Heinz has). 2 bottles for 5,600.

But, my bottles of Corona are screaming for a lime, so will have to drop by and check it out.

Same with mine. The prices went up while the store went down-market.

Nice one.
