Nature Valley Granola Bars on sale at Geant

If you're a fan of Nature Valley Granola Bars, then get over to Geant quickly, because these varieties are on sale for NT$88/ box. Now, I've seen the Oats and Honey variety all over the place (at Wellcome, Carrefour, Geant), but I've never seen the Peanut Butter or Vanilla Crips flavors before. In fact, I used to buy the Peanut Butter bars in the U.S. and bring them back in my suitcase for my husband! So I loaded up on the granola bars tonight, and NT$88/ box isn't much more than what you'd pay in the U.S.

***Update...Wellcome stores now carry some additional flavors of these granola bars.

These bars were found at the DaZhi Geant.

New products at City Super

Even though City Super carries a lot of great products, their prices aren't fantastic. But they do introduce new products regularly, and once in awhile, these products go on sale...

If you REALLY don't have time to make your own cookies from scratch, just do the easy thing and buy them this way...all you have to do is slice and bake, and you're all set! NT$240 each. (too expensive, in my book) You can get decent cookie mixes from Costco for a much better price.

City Super also carries Olivio spreads. NT$150 each.

And don't forget the Starbucks Dark Chocolate Peppermint Mocha...if you can afford NT$80/ can.

More great deals at Carrefour

Did you know that Carrefour carries imported beauty products, as well as food?
I was pleased to find Palmolive Kids' hand soap---the foamy kind---for only NT$95.


You can also find Gerber Grins and Giggles body soap and lotion for babies. (I used to bring this with me in my suitcase from the States!)

And I was soooo glad when Carrefour started carrying Scope---I think it's about NT$130. All of the Chinese mouthwashes I've tried have tasted terrible, so I will pay just about anything for a bottle of Scope.
*****************
Now, on to the food:

I am constantly finding cheap imported food at Carrefour, probably because nobody is buying it (except me), and they need to get rid of it!
Anyway, right now, you can find some great deals, including:


Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix- NT$95

Progresso Soups


Fruit Roll Ups- NT$99

Wild Blueberry Muffin Mix- NT$98

Betty Crocker Pancake Mix- NT$128

Old El Paso Cheese and Salsa Dip- NT$135



O' Organics Soy Milk (on sale)- NT$59


And here's an amazing deal for you---Graham Crackers and "wheat thin" crackers for only NT$19 a box! That's a steal!!!

The Organic baby food is on sale---the carrots, at least---for NT$29/ jar.

And cake mixes are NT$79---they also have French Vanilla, which is hard to find elsewhere. (for such a cheap price!)


And I thought I'd throw in one of the Folgers Cafe Latte mixes...these are also on sale for NT$95/ container.

Trust me, folks...if you look, you'll find cheap imported foods...you just have to be willing to look for those yellow tags that indicate that the item is on sale!!!!!!!
