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.

Chips and Chocolate at Carrefour

New product alert---Boulder Canyon potato chips. There are a couple of varietites of these "natural" chips.


Finally, Carrefour is stocking some great American candy---including dark chocolate Kissables, which are truly a treat if you enjoy dark chocolate. Only NT$119/ bag! Get 'em before they're gone.

You can also buy a jumbo Special Dark candybar for only NT$52.

New products at the Shihjr Costco

I love the Shihjr Costco. I am convinced that they have a better selection of products than the Neihu Costco. And they've introduced some new ones recently...including...
Nature Valley Fruit Twists---which look like a grown-up fruit roll-up to me.

Icee Squeeze Tubes

Luigi's Sherbet

Several varieties of Weis ice cream. (An Australian brand...GOOD STUFF)


The best dark chocolate and pomegranate ice cream bar on the planet.



Large bags of protein shake mix in both vanilla and chocolate flavors. We tried the vanilla, and it's good stuff...mix in a few frozen blueberries, and you have a low-calorie, high-protein blueberry shake.

And taco shells! No more driving to Tianmu and hoping that they're not stale inside the box. At Costco, you can get a big box of 48 taco shells, packaged in four different bags. They last well in the freezer.
