Food Shopping and Prices

When I first arrived here in Seoul, I found a grocery store to go to... The products in the picture are sitting on top of my refrigerator and are, from left to right with there approximate prices here in Seoul: strawberry jelly ($2), Thousand Island salad dressing ($2), four pack of Spam with a roll of paper towels ($6), milk ($4), 2 1/2 lbs of sugar (90 cents), soju (Korean "firewater!") ($1.20), and Korean raspberry wine ($7). So you can see that prices vary quite bit depending on the product. Also, not shown is a liter of Fanta soft drink ($1), a can of tuna ($2.25), a small loaf of bread ($2.50), two 100w light bulbs ($1.50), and they charge for plastic bags (no paper) (50 cents).
