🛒 Supermarket Guide to Boise, Idaho 🥔🇺🇸

If you find yourself in beautiful-but-sometimes-too-quiet Idaho, here’s where to shop and eat! Albertsons 🛍️ My go-to for pre-cut fruits, especially yellow cantaloupe 🍈😂 Hot deli section is a hidden gem! Try the BBQ-flavored self-serve fried chicken (the dark brown one) – highly recommended! They also have original and sour flavors, but those are just okay.In the beef section: if you see a label that says ” (yep, in Chinese!), GRAB IT 🥩👀. It’s super tender and hard to mess up! Whole Foods 🥬 An organic supermarket, but honestly… Albertsons has most of the same stuff. Not much to add – it’s Whole Foods! 😉 Trader Joe’s 🧡 Where I spent the most money! Almost nothing is a miss here. Their house-brand wine is only around $3 🍷, and their beauty products (like hand cream and hair oil) are affordable and work great! 💆‍♀️💫 Highly recommend their hair oil – a lifesaver in dry U.S. air! Feels almost Asian-owned – so many items suit Asian tastes! Milk, eggs, and tofu are cheaper here than elsewhere. Their coffee ☕ has a slight caramel note – delicious and budget-friendly. I basically shopped and drank my way through TJ’s every week 😂 Shun Fat Supermarket 🥢 Your go-to Asian market! Find everything from instant noodles 🍜, pork floss, Yi Mei pancake wraps, to lotus root, bamboo shoots, and other Asian veggies 🥦 Lots of Korean and Chinese sauces, spices, and snacks 🍘🎌 Prices are higher than back home, but still affordable. Perfect for when you’re feeling homesick! Happy shopping and may you discover lots of goodies to make life abroad joyful! 😊 #Boise #Idaho #SupermarketHaul #TraderJoesHaul #AsianSupermarket #ExpatLife #GroceryHaul #ShopLikeALocal
