i end up going too often to the large chain groceries for convenience, which contradicts my own principle of supporting small-/mid-sized businesses foremost (bad me). but ethnic groceries (plus trader joes) are slowly becoming more and more of my grocery pie, from korean places like h mart, to jons (hispanic/latino), mitsuwa (japanese), india sweets & spices, 99 ranch (chinese), bangkok market, and seafood city (filipino). i love the great array of ethnic, especially asian, groceries available in LA. it's wonderful!
