I LOVE both locations of Home Economist(I refuse to accept the new name). Especially on the east side where the selection of anything better than garbage is slim to none. The prices may be a bit much for some, but most of the people that shop here-in my opinion-seem to be savvy enough to work it out and get what they need without breaking the bank.
Don't get me wrong, I don't exclusively shop here, I'm not ballin like that, but it's a great place to go get bulk items, especially for real cooks/bakers & the selection of all natural soaps etc. makes me smile. Hell, they even sell candy!
Check them out, but make sure you map your exit properly because unless you leave out the back way onto Idlewild, it's going to be hell to get back on 74W during most times of the day(less busting a U down by Conference)
