I load up on this widely useable ingredient whenever I shop there. <br /><br />Big Lots also has a large selection of weird and hard to find international items. <br /><br />Also check out your 'discount /dented can' grogeries. I recently picked up 5 20lb bags of Nishiki rice for $2.00 a bag at my local "poor folks" grocery.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935001810470995775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104208349190221469.post-4753044028031403892009-07-09T06:45:26.188-07:002009-07-09T06:45:26.188-07:00Hello, i loved both recipes, but the second will b...Hello, i loved both recipes, but the second will be very useful for some dried cranberries i have for long.
