Another Reason to Shop at the International Grocery Store

Need another reason to find an international grocery store to shop? Each of these bags of Thyme and Rosemary were $1.99. They also had large packs of Basil and Thai Basil for the same price. Bunches of Basil can be hard to find in traditional grocery stores and you’re certainly not going to get it for less than 2 bucks.

If you haven’t found an international grocer near you yet don’t wait, you’re missing out on great ingredients and deals.
