| - I love Lee-Lees: now that I'vee been there enough times that I can actually find things.
I agree with some previous posters that it's really hard to find some items (like peanuts) due to their "aisle-by-country" organizational system.
Hence, one star knocked off.
Oh, and the fact that their baggers use enough plastic bags to fill a small landfill every day (Thanks, but I don't need a separate plastic bag just for my yogurt).
Other than that, though, this place is just amazing. You can find practically anything IN THE WORLD here.
And now that I've taken to trying to *surpise* my husband (lucky him, ha ha) by finding all these random recipes from his part of India, and then trying to make them, I've really started to appreciate their selection even more.
Also, the produce is dirt cheap. Lemons are 20 cents - are you kidding? They're at least 60-90 cents everywhere else.
You know how you have to pay like 3 dollars for a little container of fresh mint at Safeway? Well at Lee-Lee's, you can get a whole huge bunch for less than a dollar. Mojito Away!
Among the other great things I've found there: pre-fried tofu, Malaysian frozen parathas, fresh lotus roots, three kinds of eggplant, Guarana soda, anything tamarind, frozen grated coconut, Quilmes beer, any Indian spice imaginable, masaman curry mix, coconut juice, mung bean sprouts, paneer, frozen dhokla, pupusas... and the list goes on.
