I got a 6-pack of a Korean drink I enjoy called Milkis in an Asian grocery for about the same price as a 6-pack of Coke at a Kroger.
The imported Korean drink and the American drink are the same price except one's in a local store.
Imported goods do often cost more, and Japanese and Korean products tend to cost more to begin with. I'll bet that Asian grocery had good prices for vegetables.
If the old Asian man who either couldn't speak English or could speak English but with an accent so heavy I didn't understand him didn't insist on proudly showing me random products (I can't blame him, his store had just opened and he was happy to see customers), I'd tell you, but it didn't exactly give me a chance to browse. Thankfully I happened to see the Milkis in the middle of it and grabbed them before he took me somewhere else so I could nod and smile some more.
Anyway, I'm definitely going back. Hopefully he'll be showing someone else around and I'll actually get a chance to browse.
He sounds delightful. Inconvenient to encounter, but delightful.
It was very sweet even if I couldn't understand him. My daughter was not happy about it, which also made me need to leave sooner. Teenagers.
