I usually get 2 bags at a time so it adds up.
That's why I'm curious to see where else I could go to buy Asian groceries in Ottawa to compare prices.

I haven't taken stalk of the prices, but there are three places I go to lately depending on what I'm looking for.
Seoul Mart, 22 Pretoria (Glebe). They sell Korean food items (and some household products). I like them. I feel like the prices aren't too high.
Arum Market, 512 Bank Street (Centretown, near the Queensway). They are a Korean grocery store but also sell Japanese food items, and various household products).
Kowloon Supermarket, 712 Somerset (Chinatown). I've only bought some produce and packaged goods.
I sometimes go to T&T, and have yet to visit Win Tai Market. Also, there used to be a Japanese grocer on Slater
Kaedeya, but they closed in 2007. They didn't have too much and were quite pricey.
