I've been looking at the map showing the 3 shops in Belfast, and its surprising how close together they are, yet ther doesn't seem to be any outside of belfast. It makes a trip to all 3 easy from the Lisburn rd, Donegal pass and the Ormeau Rd.0

I would be interested in knowing the price of long grain rice per kilo in these places; a friend recently got me 5kg of ordinary rice in one of those places and it worked out a few pence dearer than the ordinary rice (long grain) that I normally buy in Lidl's which comes in nice symmetrical boxes that stand neatly in my cupboard and don't threaten to decant all over the floor like the big plastic bag from the Chinese Supermarket.
Regarding Asian sauces and condiments I have found B&M Bargains brilliant for getting these cheaply. They are usually short-dated and you get different things at different times but anything I buy seems to be a third of what I was paying in Tesco's. I always start with a basket and end up going back for a trolley.
For herbs and spices "Life Tree" in Spencer Road in the Waterside area of Derry is very reasonable; they are sold in small quantities so you only buy what you want and they are fresh because they have a good turnover. No saving if you have to drive miles to get there but great if you are in that area anyway. Think LifeTree do some mail order stuff too http://www.thebestof.co.uk/local/city-of-derry/business-guide/feature/life-tree/454050 -

OK I've worked it out - first stop Lisburn Road & feel virtuous enough with all the money saving to have a cup of coffee. Next the Ormeau Road/Agincourt one & then a picnic while the kids play in the park. Finally the Donegall Pass one. Put all the cold stuff in cool bags & go off to have a well deserved meal in one of the local Chinese restaurants - hopefully paying with a voucher or via one of those booking sites to get a MSE discount! (Probably best to remove the purple wigs first though or they might not let us in...)
Combining money saving & a great day out...:p0
