Places I go 2x/month:Trader Joe's for frozen shit, including fish, which is indeed cheaper there than anywhere else. Other things I get there include: dried fruits/nuts, cereal, coffee, wine (DUH), stuff for Dan to make when I'm not there, applesauce, mochi, various other things, including meat which is of a higher quality and cheaper than I could get elsewhere. Oh, and CHEESE. Their cheese section rules.
Places I go once a month or so: Golden Palace (Asian market that Kenan mentioned) which is great for noodles, sauces, odd produce and giant frozen fishes
And the Spice House for spices.
I do spend a lot of time grocery shopping and cooking, but it makes me happy and I guess that's something I do for "fun."
One place I never go is Whole Foods. Too expensive.
The end.

How could I forget cereal! That's also a staple. Nature's Path 4-EVA.
I meant to tell you, Amanda, I went there for the first time on Saturday. OMG. I bought some cinnamon. Kr bought about $35 worth of various spices and things like "orange flower water." I can't believe I'd never been there before, esp. since the Evanston store was two blocks away from my last job.
We also checked out House of Glunz, the 119-year-old wine store on Division/Wells while we were at it. This was on the recommendation of EZ from an archived Chicago thread.

I really need to quell my righteous indignation and get back to work...

Haha, did I really say that? I don't even know where those spices are. I think I threw them out. (And she didn't die. She just moved.) To be honest, I don't really cook enough to get into whether or not Spice House spices are "worth it" -- but I loved the store, and I love how all the spices are hand-blended, and there's just so many of them. It made me want to buy a bunch of stuff that I probably won't ever use.

I can assure you that they're worth it. Cinnamon that tastes spicy and not like sawdust is priceless, but even so it's not that much more expensive than grocery store cinnamon.
I am currently trying to wean myself off of licorice. It's not easy. I was eating a couple of pieces with breakfast (and lunch and dinner and before bed and when I took the dogs out...) -- that's how bad it got. I ate a pound in ONE WEEK. Time to lay off the candy.

I don't know if I'm up for that just yet! My poor knees aren't too good at actual (read: non-eliptical) running. I'd settle for being able to wear my skinny jeans again!
