(Updated on 2023.04.04)
In the melting pot of the United States, there are too many different supermarkets and special things to buy. Supermarkets must be visited, but it is easy to lose yourself and lose your way XD
I open the box with the mentality of buying randomly. I hope this article will give you some inspiration and lead you to find the direction haha~
(The ones that are limited are only sold in supermarkets of specific brands)
1. Lucky charm cereal, energy bar
Souvenir recommendation index ★★★★★(The taste of selfish childhood)
Lucky Charm cereal ($4.69)
America is the kingdom of cereal! There are really thousands of different cereals on the shelf. In addition to the common brands and flavors, today I bought Lucky Charm
This is my favorite among all the cereals. In fact, it is because it is my childhood memory~ and there are no supermarkets in Taiwan. It is a must-buy gift for me when I go to the United States.
This time I also saw Lucky charm's energy bar ($8.29)
The oatmeal is still delicious, not very sweet, the taste of wheat is very fragrant and crisp, it is delicious eaten alone or with milk, and the cotton candy is not too sweet, but now I am old and eat less 🤣
But the energy bar is just pop, it tastes too sweet, the whole bar is soft and has no crispness, so don’t push it~
2, Good & Gather Potato Chips ($1.79)
TARGET limited
Souvenir recommendation index ★★★☆☆(Can’t buy it in Taiwan, it’s a bit hard and salty)
Good&Gather is Target's own brand. It should not be available in Taiwan. It looks delicious and is cheaper than other brands. I want to give it a try~
There are many flavors, this time I bought the pesto cheese flavor and try it out
There is quite a lot in one pack, and the texture tastes harder than ordinary potato chips, which is quite special. My family is a little not used to it, but I think it’s okay. The taste is a bit salty.
3. Good&Gather sparkling water ($1.49)
TARGET limited
Souvenir recommendation index ★★☆☆☆(quite chemical scent)
This is also Target's own brand of sparkling water, available in aluminum cans and plastic bottles, and the packaging is very beautiful
There are also many types to choose from, this time I chose strawberry and mango flavors
There are quite a lot of bubbles, and it tastes very refreshing, but the aroma of strawberry and mango is a bit unnatural, very similar to the taste of chewing gum, the whole thing is a bit strange...don't push it
It’s better to buy branded sparkling water XD
4. Various types of yogurt and yogurt
Souvenir recommendation index ★★★★★(Big push!But it’s very troublesome to refrigerate and can’t take it on the plane)
The yogurt in the United States is really rich and delicious, with many flavors and cheap. It is rarely expensive. You must buy it in the supermarket and try it.
Chobani Yogurt ($1.59)
Chobani Yogurt ($2.19)
Noosa Yogurt ($2.29)
The Chobani brand is mainly Greek yogurt, which has a particularly thick and solid texture. There are many flavors and serving sizes in the supermarket. Today I bought strawberry-flavored & almond chocolate-coconut yogurt for one person, as well as apricot-flavored yogurt
Strawberry flavor - after opening, the upper layer is yogurt, which is completely sugar-free, and the lower layer is strawberry jam, I don’t like the already stirred 🙅🏻♀️ (same as Ruifan who doesn’t like curry rice mixed together XD) I like the yogurt separated from the top and bottom , so you can adjust the sweetness by yourself, delicious~
Almond Chocolate Coconut - also divided into two compartments, the yogurt has a light coconut flavor, and the taste is richer with the almond slices and chocolate chips next to it
Apricot-flavored yogurt - it's very thick yogurt, and it's delicious, but it's very small, and a bottle costs 2.19. Compared with it, it's worth buying yogurt
NOOSA is a yogurt with more moisture and a softer texture. This time I bought strawberry celery & honey flavor
Strawberry celery - also has upper and lower layers, you can adjust it yourself. I think his English is Strawberry&rhubarb. I checked that rhubarb is red celery. I have never seen this vegetable. I was a little afraid of the strange taste, but it tastes like Strawberry flavor, I can't even taste the taste of celery, it's delicious~
The honey flavor is also delicious! But he doesn't seem to be layered anymore, and he can taste the aroma of honey in every bite
5. Ghirardelli Chocolate ($5.75)
Souvenir recommendation index ★★★★★(Famous products in San Francisco are cheaper than Taiwan)
This brand is now sold everywhere in Taiwan, but it is from San Francisco. It is not only much cheaper than Taiwan, but also has a lot of flavors. Each of them is packaged in a single package. It is very convenient and beautiful to buy and distribute to relatives and friends or to distribute to colleagues in the office. !
6. Cheez it cheese soda crackers ($3.99)
Recommendation index for souvenirs ★★★★★ (delicious American salty cheese flavor)
Biscuits I haven’t seen in Taiwan, they look delicious enough
Various flavors and shapes, various cheeses
A full bag, given with sincerity
Crispy and salty, with a real cheese taste. The more you eat, the more your mouth will be rinsed. It is a suitable snack to take home to accompany the drama.
7. Campbell's soup ($1.39-2.39)
Souvenir recommendation index ★★★★☆(Many flavors but heavy XD)
This brand is a famous thick soup brand in Taiwan, but most Taiwanese only have mushrooms and clams. There are many flavors here, and a can is very cheap. You can just heat it up when you are too lazy to cook and want to drink thick soup. Super convenient!
