Something old, something new at RT Mart (Neihu)

This cheese is really a great deal. (NT$150, I think) I use when I make Mexican food---it works well in enchiladas. And it's a good dip if you pair it with some salsa and sour cream.

RT Mart also sells all kinds of condiments---from malt vinegar to barbecue sauce to mayonnaise.

And now they sell soups---at a very cheap price. Tomato soup is hard to find in Taiwan!! And 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup? Yes, please!

Chicken noodle soup..."spaghetti" in a can...

And this stuff looks a bit healthier---or maybe it's just the "homestyle" on the label. :)

Remember---RT Mart is a great place for other goodies like refried beans...nuts...canned veggies...sauces. I always find good deals there.

Peanut butter and discounted string cheese at Costco

Costco is definitely the best place to buy peanut butter. You get more bang for your buck, that's for sure. They have been selling the Kirkland all-natural peanut butter for awhile, and it's the best I've tasted so far. Plus, you can get two huge jars for less than NT$300. At Jason's, you pay the same amount for one regular-sized jar.

Also, a new variety was on the shelf at the Shihjr store recently---JIF! Now you can also buy two huge jars of Jif for less than NT$300! And it's the extra crunchy kind...mmmm....

I also found some great deals on foods that will be "expiring" in a week or so. I got NT$400 string cheese packs for NT$99. And a HUGE tub of sour cream for NT$99! I have a week to use it, but that's still a fantastic price.
