Meats and seafood particularly, often time vegetables. Although unrelated to your experiment, you can save a lot of money buying these types of things at those types of stores. Even the large "nice" Asian supermarkets like T&T offer better value than Sobeys, Loblaws, etc. (at least we've found). Also, I have been using an online coupon website from time to time, http://save.ca/. I'm not sure how they make money, but it works. You request coupons, they mail them to you, and every store that we've gone to has accepted them (no frills and walmart). For your experiment, it would be interesting to find out if Asian markets apply the same pricing strategies that typical North American markets do.
