Where do you buy your monthly groceries?

Spandana :)
I am trying to think if you forgot any.. hmm let me think
Hey just kidding..
yeah me too agree with you, veggies in mustafa ae so expensive.. and we cannot pick them as we wish..
now we have asoka ready made parathas, before there were masala naan, plain nan etc etc. in the frozen section .. its been quite a while since I bought them.. thanks Spandana you reminded me.. I need to go tomorrow and buy them :)

Hi all,
i do shop for groceries in mustafa ,vegge sometimes in little india or frm sheng siong,or frm local wet markets.usually wet markets stuff is quite fresh.
then for health pros at NTUC.
it is just my kid is more happy while shopping otherwise i 2 feel i shld buy it online.

so how r all ilites doing here?

bye
raji...

Hi ,
Hope Sarada had enjoyed the parathas from mustafa this weekend.
By the way singIL's, I want to know wat brands u follow for spices like mustard seeds and cumin seeds.I have tried here so many brands,but i am not satisfied with none of them, they r full of dust and stones.Daily it was becoming a nonsense for me before cooking.

Is anyone facing this problem?

Hope u will share ur views.


Cheers,
Spandhana

Hi Spandana..
Nope, I havent bought the paratha's from mustafa :(.. I was too much loaded with the veggies and groceries, I had to give it a go..:( may be this weekend, I can enjoy

Spandana did you try the Cumin Seeds by Time brand? They are far better than other products. Till now, I havent faced any problems with mustard seeds. Corainder seeds sometimes.. Since I hardly use coriander seeds, I dont mind if I got minimal extra things in those.
The cumin seeds,which you buy from the shops down your blocks will have more dust and extra things like small twigs (and sometimes insects too) than the ones from little india, so I refrain from buying in the downshops (except in case of urgency).
Well.. may be other ILites will share their experience
Hv a grt time

Hi sarada,

Thamks for putting in ur views.I tried so many brands from mustafa but i dont think Time brand.Will give a try?
As u said, let others also share their views for a crystal clear idea.

Cheers,
Spandhana

dear Spandana

Thanks for participating in this thread.

Regarding your query, The time brand from Mustaffa seemed to be fine. But last month I got them from selvi stores and the cumin seeds and other spices are better than mustaffa (though a bit costlier). The shop is in the small road adjacent (left) to Andhra curry. you can order online also.

Give a try!

Hi babyraji

Welcome to this thread! We SIlites are doing fine and wish you the same.
As you mentioned wet market stuffs are fresh but nowadays many areas do not have one , you see. So we have to settle for supermarket stuff or little india.
Kids are happier because they can pick up things and they mostly like to handle the trollies. Now

Hi spandhana

How are the prices in chennai trading? What is the delivery charge for $50 worth of products? Can we order online? And how is the quality?
(sorry for bombarding with so many Qs)

So sarada

I invite myself to your house for a paratha fair next week with paneer sabjis. may be other SIlites wud like to join.

Hi Vijee,
You are most welcome any time :)
Yeah its an open invitation :)
Cheers
Sarada
