| - I really wanted to like Super G, and made the 35 minute trek this past week to get ingredients for curry and SPAM musubi. What I found was an enormous grocery store with all kinds of ethnic foods...but a good amount of them were less than fresh.
On my list, sticky rice, curry mix, seaweed sheets furikake (rice seasoning), mirin and oyster sauce. Everything was overpriced. I understand the need to make $ and maybe there isn't a big enough audience to support lower prices, but 5 pounds of sushi rice up to $12 a bag? Granted there were cheaper kinds, but this set the tone for the rest of the shopping trip.
Produce was cheaper than your average Harris Teeter, for sure-- but you gotta be careful. Boxes of mandarin oranges were rotten, a bag of red onions I bought sprouted and have a mushy outer layer.
The selection here is pretty good compared to other grocery stores in Charlotte area, and the workers are friendly. There *are* sale items, which is nice...and I found apple bananas, which made me happy.
Would I go back? Yes, but only if I needed items I couldn't find elsewhere.
PS: Where is the bakery or prepared foods section?
