Go to an Asian or Mexi store and it will be about the same price...much
cheaper than those insane stupormarket prices. Jewel, Domincks and that
whole lot should be SHOT for what they charge for fresh herbs...

I'm itchin' to "test - shop" the new Super H Mart out in Niles (IL), people
are raving about the place on www.lthforum. and elsewhere. Great produce
and everything else so they say...

There is a competitor of sorts called Grand Mart that has taken over some of
the old Cub Food locations, it gets less stellar reviews...

Both are apparantly Korean - owned, they have a wide range of Asian and
other products, plus food courts...
