Check your local ad. Mine has good prices on fish and produce, but common staples are overpriced.

Comparison shopping. Gotta get those deals. Japanese markets suck, never go to those.

whenever im at the oriental store theres just a bunch of old asian guys playing some cryptic card game and drinking something out of paper cups. sometimes a small asian child will roll past me on a big wheel. I get my soy sauce and fish sauce and ponder the durian and ask myself how a hair salon with no customers ever is sustainable in an oriental grocery. I wait 10 minutes for the check out lady to finish whatever shes playing on her knockoff ds and feel like im being yelled at.

Good to hear you got the kimchi covered, OP. I'd suggest picking up...

-Those spicy, seasoned cucumber slices.
-Plum wine.
-Black raspberry wine.
-Red bean buns.
-Shin ramyun black.
-Container of Gochujang.
-I'm seconding Fairly passive suggesting pickled ginger.

Love the Asian markets near us. Also; Koreatown owns.

go to the dried section with the bajillion chinese mushroom species in massive bags

buy dried pork skin

buy dried jellyfish

if they don't sell that it's not a good asian supermarket

EDIT: oh yeah don't forget the vacuum packed duck tongues in the freezer
