...For some reason, i wasn't comprehending reading Mandarin would be impportant in grocery shopping...I figured pictures would be all i need.... that is assuming pictures were involved...or the mandarin writing nah cova up the pictures... good thing a mi and Regina go, and she had a good 8 months to master grocery shopping...
Milk...i need to choose from 3 aisles? Milk in boxes, milk in pastic bags, milk in bottles...and they are all non pasteurized? A tomorrow morning before mi can figure dis out.... Regina recommends the one her sons drink....
Yogurt...low fat, regular or non fat?..no way to tell...so pick something that looks like what u used to.... Ah...and it's so cheap.... like 20c for the 6 pack...likkle did i know that the price was for each single unit....
Sea cucumbers...4750RMB ($678)..wha kind a delicacy is this????
There's aisles and aisles of cookies and chocolate....and dem not fat.... dem need to share the secret..... Of course the candies are the only thing where dem keep the english labelling...making sure u don't miss it...
Nuff meat...cooked and uncooked... all chicken foot mi see...and sure could do with some curry chicken foot...but not up to the cooking...
Julie mango look alike? A wonder if dem sweet? mi will soon find out... We passed a station where them put the weight and price on the items that have to be weighed... the cashiers not ringing it without the price and them don't weigh it...so try get it weighed and price before u go check out....
The bakery has bresh baked cookies...not just big ones, but even cheese nips size, so you can buy them by the pound... also fresh baked bread....
Rice or any grains can also be bought by the pound..
Swiss miss hot chocolate... mi neva bring enough, so mi can stock up..wait..one box for $7US?...is alright... mi navel string no cut pon hot chocolate....
Finally, diet coke or coke zero and the 16 oz bottle is like .37c? a wonda how mi can get some a dese back to the US?
I need a special detergent to wash the fruits? something about the pesticides...is it even safe to eat them? Laundry detergent... definitely....so mi can wash mi own clothes...saving the company money....how thoughtful.. :-)
Now that mi know where it is, mi sure will be coming back...so nuh need to empty the supermarket today.... The cashier ask if we need a bag, and when we say yes, she proceed to scan the barcode on the plastic bag...mi figet fi ask her de price....
I see all the supermarket in pon the 'made in china' bags.....and the names or logos nuh important cause dem sure not on there....
