A lot of us grab for a can of enchilada sauce by a name brand down the mexican section of the store for $2.99 for a large 27oz can when if you go to the Baking or the pre-packaged mixes area you can get an one envelope of enchilada sauce for as cheap as .52 cents and up to Dollar on name brands. All you add is 6-8 oz can of tomato sauce ( for like 10 for a 1.00) and water from the tap:)

cool, I also noticed that if you get beans or chicken boulion in the main aisle it is much more expensive than if you get them in the mexican or Goya section. The boulion I use is 1/2 the price and it is exactely the same

Yeah I use the mexican section to grab lot of things.. Recently LeeLee Oriental Market moved in down the street. Man talk about Deals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They have green onions for 39 cents but 1 bunch will fill a quart mason jar. They have specialty rows of lots of things. I buy 4 bone in chicken breast for $4.00 and cook in the crock pot and use for 2-3 meals for a family of 3 and I mean use lots of meat !! Goya Products in the zillions a whole row. Asian styles noodles like Ramen 1 whole row.
