Shopping at ethnic stores

I don't know why I don't do this more often. The prices can be phenomenal compared to other stores. I was tempted to go to El Super this week, which is a mexican grocery store. They had some produce this week for an incredible price. I saw on the sale flier they have another store in Salinas. I have to wonder if they get their fresh produce from Salinas and that is how the prices are so low. So here is what I bought. 5 mangoes, 5 limes, 2 jalapenos, and 2 oranges. My price. $1.60! The only thing that was disappointing were a couple of items in the sale ad were priced differently in the store. My friend TC told me a while back about spices priced very differently at the asian market too. I'm going to try this more often. Definitely worth taking a trip. It's only a little intimidating for an american born girl who only speaks one language!
