Garden of Eden- the rip off and how I fooled them!
So, I saw a recipe in a magazine that I really wanted to try. It's Indian inspired and required chutney. I couldn’t find it in my area so I went to Garden of Eden on 23rd street to see if they have it. They did, for $6.99 a 2.5 oz jar!!!![]()
Now I know there is no way a tiny jar of chutney can cost that much!
There are some so-called'exclusive' and 'health conscious' food shops in the City that are just beyond obnoxious! How can you charge such ridiculous prices! And the worst this is: people buy it! They were also selling some generic pasta souce that I buy in my local supermarket for $1.49. They had it 'On Sale' for $2.99! W T F! I was floored!
So, anyway, I went to Jackson Height where I used to live some years ago. There is a very large Indian community in that area and they have great ethnic food stores. I bought 3 jars of different kind Chutney and 4 large packs of great spices - all for $11! HA! Hee hee hee!![]()
I look forward to making some Chicken Tikka Masala! And Chicken Curry! And may be even Chicken in Spicy Yogurt !![]()
