The Asian Grocery store and Traders Joes

I went to the Asian grocery store for the first time today- the environment was pretty poor- it smelt like smoke and was freezing (the cashiers were all wearing their winter jackets)- however they had much better prices on a bunch of stuff then going to the asian section of the regular supermarket plus i had a much easier time finder the spices i was looking for. I got a lot of asian noodles, coconut oil, seseme oil, chile oil, some frozen asian food- vegetable dumplings, vegetable rools and some other stuff to try, as well as a bunch of spices and coconut milk. I spent 40 dollars. Then I went to traders Joes for the first time today as well, the environment of the store was much cleaner and nicer. I was impressed with their food and many things were good priced although some stuff was over priced.  I got soy cheese (pretty good tasting), tofu italian sausage (not very good), sprouted bread 2 loaves, some other types of tofu meat, coconut milk, pineapple tidbits frozon 2 bags, mango chunks frozen, peach salsa, 2 bags of chips one was flax seed and black bean and the other was something similar, chickpeas 3 cans, some more spices, and some other stuff and spent 48 dollars.
