Yesterday, Mumsies took me grocery shopping in Chinatown. The store was located at the corner of Stockton and Broadway.It was an experience. People and produce were sardine-jammed into a smallish store, shoving each other, cutting in line, and just going nuts. Wow. I don’t know if I can battle like that for groceries every week.

The reason, however, for the crush are the prices in that store. Dirt cheap.I got:

10 heads of garlic

1/2 pound of lychees!

1 bunch of cilantro

1 bunch of green onion

1 bunch of chives

5 white peaches

5 plums

2 lemons

4 red onions

2 packages of enoki mushrooms

5 tomatos

1 giant squash thing I don’t know the name for

1 huge kabocha

4 cucumbers

6 carrots

1 thing of celery

Isn’t that a huge list of groceries? It’s basically all M and I need for the entire week, probably with a bit leftover. And we usually spend at least $80 at Cala Foods. Granted, that $80 includes non-produce and fruit items like orange juice, soy milk, butter and eggs etc., but still.I got all of the above for $13.61.

How? No idea. It could be worth the fight.
