Ethnic food stores near you?

Do you have any ethnic food stores near you? What kind(s)? Do you shop there often? How do you find the difference in pricing?

I ask because I just got back from the very awesome Asian supermarket not too far from where I live! Bought up everything I'm going to need to rock Chinese week in the challenge! I LOVE that store, and go there at least once a month. I love trying new things, and the prices for certain things I can get in my regular grocery store are incredibly low!

I can't wait to get started on my Chinese food tomorrow!

I've never really looked. I still need to look for recipes for this week.

My awesome stocked cart! It was hard to avoid all the delicious Chinese new year treats they had piled at the door, so a few items fell into the cart after this picture was taken.

We have several near us but Ive only gone to a couple. Last time we did sushi, I went to a little Japanese market and the prices for things I could get else where were much cheaper.

I have very little experience in any kind of ethnic cooking, but I would like to learn! I know there's a Mexican market just a few minutes away, DH has been there for chiles. We also have some Asian ones in town.

We live in the middle of nowhere so not much for Ethnic food stores here. I think there might be a Mexican food store in one of the neighboring towns but not 100% sure.
