I live in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Specifically, Western part of Johor. Near Legoland Malaysia. In my area, there aren’t many groceries store around, there about 6 supermarkets nearby (at least 10-30 mins). Further than that, I do not consider it nearby.
6 supermarkets may sound a lot for some. But not to me because most of them sell the same things. Say for an example, I could not find any natural sea salt in most of the supermarket.
Not that I do not appreciate them, but nowadays, I am starting to be health cautious when it comes to food. So I feel like, changing to a healthier diet is worth the investments. It is like the cheapest life-insurance anyone could get.
Not only sea salt, but also some other stuffs like high-quality pastas, some organic vegetables.
Fortunately, there is this store called Ben’s Independent Grocer or BIG Grocer, whichever they want to call it. I find that it is really not that expensive if we were to switch to better, healthier and much more quality food products for me & my wife to cook at home.
I am not going into the details of how much it costs overall, but I can safely say that the bill increase is probably about 5% to 10% from regular supermarkets (or normal products)
How I see this expense is just that small increase is a great “life-insurance” deal that I can get. Also, going to the healthier route is never too late so I decide to make the switch.
Eventually, I will slowly switch to a much healthier food produces which I think everyone should do.
Actually, I am sharing this because this supermarket open up a lot of new options I can include in our meals, and I was very excited about it and wanted to share this. Hehe.
Toddles~!
