Everything I considered ordering was found cheaper at wally world. Do you tea wops have Walmart, yet?

For nearly 20 years, walmart is shit tier quality though

I've found a number of things cheaper on amazon than in wasdamart including

Hemp seeds
Olives
Most oils
Pretty much any foreign or less popular grain
Anything speciality

Other than add-on items (can only buy if you spend $25 and then add these to your total)!like $1.89 pop tarts and cheap tins of Pringles, Amazon.ca is trash for groceries. Some (most)stuff is residulously overpriced, then there are some good deals but they're all specifically add-on and non-Prime. If their prices were reasonable and you could use Prime I'd be all over spending $5 on pop tarts with free shipping lol. Otherwise going to the actual IRL store is better.


Can't speak for. It cities though. I heard groceries from Amazon in Toronto or Vancouver might be ok.

Add any pre-order item to your basket to bump your total up, then cancel it before release = add on items with standard delivery options

I order as much as possible on Amazon. Prime is so nice.

I ordered some kala namak (Indian black salt) from Amazon a while back, the stuff is pretty great. It's high in sulfur and has a very potent boiled egg smell/taste. I add just a tiny pinch to potato salad, pasta salad, etc.

I also ordered poppy seeds to make poppy seed rolls, since the poppy seed paste for the rolls requires LOADS of seeds and they only sell ridiculously overpriced little shakers in the stores (vs $30 for a 5lb bag on amazon).

>high in sulfur

So it tastes like the nastiest fart anyone ever has. Sounds great. I'll serve some to the next girlfriend I'm trying to dump.

So do eggs? I mean, eggs smell like eggs for the same reason - it's the sulfur. Kala namak goes good in dishes that often have boiled eggs, like pasta or potato salad, when you're too lazy to actually boil eggs. It's also used in some Indian dishes.

I bought some of this black salt shit in Nepal. A palm sized rock cost me NPR 50. About 50 cents. I just know the mark up is insane in western countries.

I order a bunch of loose leaf tea from amazon, and recently got a decent price on a case of peanuts, a 2lb bag of black peppercorns, and decently priced vanilla beans.

I don't have prime because I'm cheap and $100 a year for free shipping (the only thing I would use) is just silly. The precludes me from ordering foods because without prime, or prime pantry. But if I want reasonably priced stuff I'll just go to walmart.

Ordered my current wok and tea set from Amazon.

10/10. Would give them my shekels again. Hard as fuck to find a proper wok in the deep south of the US.

If I'm fairly into coffee but don't know anything about teas and tea leaves, what are some good ones to buy/try on Amazon or elsewhere online?

It really depends on what your tastes are; some really like oolong tea or chai tea, and I really don't like those teas. If you're simply unsure, a variety/sampler pack of teas is usually a good start to see what you like then order a larger bag once you like something.

There is quite a science behind brewing tea as well. Different temperatures, different teas, and brewing times, quality of water, etc. When I first started, I thought it was boiling water into tea for 10 mins, then drink. This is why so many people really do not like tea. Green and white teas do not do well with boiling water, and 5 minutes will usually turn it into bitter nastiness.

A couple brands I regularly buy from Amazon are "positively tea" and Davidson's Organic. They're really good prices at $15-$20 per pound which will make many gallons of tea, and the quality is decent as far as I can tell without many stems.
