Vancouver has one right downtown. You'd think the OP would be in Vancouver based on that remark alone, but this is RFD after all...The Canterbury Tail wrote: ↑ Also amused by the remark that downtown is preferred and does CostCo sell them? Since when is CostCo in downtown anywhere?
True. They’re two times the price of potatoes. Usually about $1.79/lbcanuck7714 wrote: ↑ Regular potatoes are. Japanese sweet potatoes aren't.
thanks. yeah, i'm told to look for ones that specifically purple skin & flesh, and definitely not ube which get confused with purple potatoes.shoppingBear wrote: ↑ I haven't seen any japanese sweet potato at my costco. They only have those that have purple skin and white flesh inside. But not the one with purple flesh. (Okinawan sweet potatoes)
Those with purple flesh are expensive. Like $2.99 and up per lb.... And I've only seen them at Asian grocery stores (T&T, H Mart, Kim's ...etc)

I find it funny how he has said "downtown" twice but STILL hasn't mentioned which city or town in Canada he's in.matrixsoul wrote: ↑ There is a place on Main Street were they are really cheap.
Try H Mart / Galleria..the purple ones are also called Hawaiian Sweet Potato that has the purple flesh you are looking for... Have you checked Chinatown?canuck7714 wrote: ↑ Looking specifically for purple skin/ flesh ones. Preferably in downtown Toronto. Does Costco sell them?
