I go to one periodically. I agree that you can get spices much cheaper than in the supermarket. Usually they have wider variety and you can buy in bulk if you need to. I have also bought cheese and cookies and real coconuts that aren't easy to find around here. Oh yeh, and Bakklava was wonderful from there! I would go there more often if it were closer to where I live.

When shopping at one, just be SURE you know what you're buying, because sometimes their idea of "beef stew" is a couple of pieces of peas, one slice of celery, and beef broth! LOL Another store
might put heavy unknown spices in EVERYTHING, as has happened here. Don't take it for granted that you will like everything if you are a native American, either. It can be "different" and "exciting" if your mouth is on fire. LOL Also, here they've begun to increase their prices thinking Americans WANT so much of what they sell. It's frequently for us just TOO exotic, TOO unfamiliar, TOO SPICY, and now
TOO COSTLY. Hope you're having better luck than we are right now during the "war"? God bless you.
