Hey gang. Some grocery questions...

Anyone know where to find things like:
1. fat free yogurt
2. flavored tea in bags

I'm pretty new (just arrived this week), and haven't explored much outside of my own area (Sungbuk), and any advice on these two things or maybe a health food store in general would be much appreciated.

Never seen fat free yogurt.

Peppermint tea, camomile tea are both available at larger places like E-Mart. Keep your eyes open. Its not at every big grocery store. If you are in Seoul, check Hannam market. Never been there, but I've heard they have everything.

Did you know that 'grocery' comes from the word 'gross'? I didn't either, but according to a book I read yesterday, 'they' used to buy things by the gross and the word kinda got applied to the people...grossers.

Find yourself a lottemart Smile

I bought some passion fruit Stash tea bags a week ago.

If you eat a lot of yogurt you might want to consider buying a yogurt maker. The cheapest I saw was for 35,000 won, but most are like 50,000 won. Otherwise, I haven't seen fat free yogurt.
