Um, just make your own :-) -- nm - con_carne Oct 9, 20:58 1
- I keep a jar of the cheap stuff on hand. I use it a lot, but not enough to keep the fresh kind on hand. -- nm - Meg Oct 9, 21:19
Chips aisle and an encap between the snacks and butcher -- nm - MDH Oct 9, 20:09
Ethnic aisle and chips aisle. -- nm - the liioulu with insects Oct 9, 19:58 1
- And deli section for the "fresh" stuff. -- nm - the liioulu with insects Oct 9, 19:59
Of course it didn't help that there was now power in the store, except for the registers and a couple of emergency lights.... - Meg Oct 9, 19:47 3
- Let me guess. Was this because of the first-in-the-season "storm?" - con_carne Oct 9, 20:31 1
  - I think they'd just blown a breaker somewhere. Power was on all around them and their registers were working - just no lights. -- nm - Meg Oct 9, 20:43
- Dammit - *NO* power -- nm - Meg Oct 9, 19:48
bad salsa: chip aisle. good salsa: international aisle. great salsa: refrig section next to hummus. -- nm - amanda Oct 9, 19:46 4
- Absolutely. -- nm - Ender Oct 9, 20:47
- Marry me -- nm - con_carne Oct 9, 20:08
- also, I have to say that we just got trader joe's here and their "bad" salsa (in jars, non refrig) is good to great. I could eat a whole jar - amanda Oct 9, 19:49
- Oh man, I forgot about that. Same here. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 9, 19:46
In the chips aisle. -- nm - Reagen Oct 9, 19:45
Mexican and Japanese/Chinese section, plus a smaller selection in the chip aisle -- nm - Beryllium Oct 9, 19:44 1
- Mexican/Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Indian. It's all mixed together. - Beryllium Oct 9, 19:44
Amoxy must shop in my market. I've always found it in the 'Mexican' section, along with canned peppers, hot sauces, etc., or with the chips and dips. - Meg Oct 9, 19:37
Condiments aisle, international aisle, and snack aisle. -- nm - Mop on Samsung Galaxy S3 Oct 9, 19:36
in a pinch, you can always buy onions, tomatos, lime, celantro, and peppers & make your own -- nm - peglegpete Oct 9, 19:31
refrigerated. near the cheese, saurkraut, yogurt, etc. -- nm - peglegpete Oct 9, 19:19 1
- and their deli section -- nm - peglegpete Oct 9, 19:20
Several places. Cold area for fresh salsa (near pickles, yogurt, etc.), also taco aisle, plus chips aisle. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 9, 19:19
In the "Mexican" aisle and in the salty snacks aisle. -- nm - TWuG Oct 9, 19:17
mine has it in like three different places. the unaustralian aisle, the chip section, and fancy ones in the organic section. -- nm - mafic Oct 9, 19:16 14
- Does the Unaustralian aisle have Paul Hogan giving you a disapproving look as you enter it? -- nm - Reagen Oct 9, 19:44 1
  - "You can eat it, but it tastes like shit" -- nm - Paul Hogan si Oct 9, 19:52
- You know what's weird here? Coconut milk is often in the coffee/tea aisle. And Marmite is next to the yeast and other baking products -- nm - Roger More Oct 9, 19:20 11
  - I can never find coconut milk anywhere, regardless of continent. it's my supermarket kryptonite. -- nm - mafic Oct 9, 19:23 10
    - Mmmm. Thai curry. -- nm - con_carne Oct 9, 20:11
    - It's in the first aisle walking in the door at my Thriftys ... same aisle as the Risotto. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 9, 19:45
    - *makes a mental note if I am your secret santa this year* -- nm - peglegpete Oct 9, 19:28
    - asian aisle....salsa is found ..canned in the mex section (next to the asian) also in the deli area and in the green grocer where they have 'fresh' in - zeitgeist Oct 9, 19:28
    - The non-Australian aisle - it should be with the Thai curries and rice noodles. -- nm - Roger More Oct 9, 19:25 5
      - it *should* be, but then like half the time it's with all the other tinned items, or with baking goods or milk substitutes. - mafic Oct 9, 19:43 4
        
        That's weird - especially in Perth. -- nm - Roger More Oct 9, 19:45 3
        
        I also had this problem in Canada though. -- nm - mafic Oct 9, 19:48 1
        
        Where did you shop in Canada? 7-eleven? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 9, 19:48
        
        they move it around just to mess with me. -- nm - mafic Oct 9, 19:48
Ethnic foods aisle. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 9, 19:15
Sauce aisle or in the fridge aisle -- nm - amoxy Oct 9, 19:14
