- Fresh bunches of parsley $ .89 each
- Shallots (a personal fave) for $2.99/lb. (translates to about $.50 for 2 shallots)
- Fresh ginger $2.99/lb (one small piece will set you back $.59)
- Red onion $1.49/lb, which isn't much when buying just one
- Jalapeno peppers for $.99/lb
- All kinds of exotic peppers for $2.99/lb, again, not much for a small amount
- Whole nutmeg- yes I know they are $4-5 a jar but they last forever!
