Great products at Jason's Marketplace


I'm not sure if these wraps are a new product, but they're worth mentioning. The cheapest tortilla wraps are the bulk ones at Costco, made by Florida Bakery, but these wraps will give you a little variety for an extra NT$60 or so.

Diego's makes an Omega-3 wrap and a reduced carb wrap.


Also, Jason's is selling LARABARS, which are the best-tasting all-natural bar out there. Unfortunately, they're NT$80/ bar, which is far too much for me. But one good thing about Jason's is that they often drastically reduce the price of food that is going to "expire," and I often buy their bars for NT$20 each when they need to get rid of them. For example, I bought a bunch of organic apricot-oat bars today for NT$19/ each. (normally over NT$80/ bar)

Also, Jason's is selling Redi-Whip for NT$69/ box. (each box contains 3 packets of whipped cream powder...definitely a great deal, as it's usually almost NT$300/ box). Redi-Whip is so easy to use...just add cold water, and you have whipped cream!

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.
