Yesterday, my oldest sister P came down to visit me and J. We haven't seen her since the week of Christmas. So the plan was we wanted to make fried rice, salmon spring rolls, and bacon-wrapped persimmons with blue cheese (we had to use mango instead since we couldn't find persimmons). Anyway, we needed to get some Asian ingredients and didn't want to drive all the way to the South Bay for it. Then I remembered friends telling me about 99 Ranch Market (a Chinese supermarket chain), so I asked J to look up 99 Ranch and luckily there are two within where I live. So P and I ventured out and we were amazed at how busy it was and how nice their produce section is. They had exactly everything we wanted and then some. From now on, I will drive the extra 5 miles to 99 Ranch to get my produce and meat products and other Asian items I need. The pic here is my receipt. I bought 28 items and my total was $27.84! If I had gone to Lucky's or Safeway, who knows how much it would've been - double that probably. All I know is that for the past few years I end up spending $150-$250 on groceries every other week. It's insane! From now on, I have a new store to go to and it'll save me money.
