Regardless if it's a mom and pop asian grocer or a national chain like Hmart, the produce and meat is almost always cheaper than their American counterparts such as Giant, Safeway, Harris Teeter. I'm really surprised by this given the American chains should be able to achieve better scale and supply chain. Is the meat/produce of lesser quality? Or something else?
Typical examples:
- Green onions is 50 cents at an asian grocer. $1 at American chain
- Lemons. 50cents vs $1
- Pork chops $3.50 versus $5.5
