Another FYI - Asian Market Resources

This never occurred to me until this evening when Hubby called me from the shop, but one place I've previously overlooked for ingredients - both for cooking and for making toiletries, etc - is your local Asian market store.  There is one not too far from us and Hubby is there right now to pick up some stuff for his mom since we'll be seeing them for Easter.  Apparently he can get 5 lbs of rice flour (a staple in allergy free cooking) for something like $8.  Same for potato starch (different from potato flour) and tapioca starch (same as tapioca flour)!  Pretty amazing.  He's also picking up coconut oil (1.5 lbs) and looking for raw cocoa butter - both things I thought I would have to buy on Amazon through a Halal store and then pay through the nose in shipping fees.  So just remember to check there first if you're after cheap ingredients, and don't want to have to pay for shipping.
