Why can't we get the same pricing like in Superstore when ordering through Instacart? They instead jack up prices for delivery. Sounds like price gouging to me...striderKan wrote: ↑+1 if you're playing the Tilda basmati theme in your head
it's whatever deal they made with the store... Prices have always been higher here for places like Fortinos and sales were excluded. You're paying for the convenience of having someone else shop for you. Walmart seems to be the one store where the prices are pretty well the same as what you see in store. But even there sales are only included about 50% of the time.
I tried this a while back. Haven't tried Kirkland. Though this one was far inferior to other brands like No. 817 Elephant Brand Basmati Rice and India Gate Premium Basmati Rice. Will never buy Tilda ever again. I'd avoid it. I'd rather get a pack of the India Gate when it goes on sale again. It usually goes around the same price as this sale. Been using India Gate since. Best one had ever!stilltippin wrote: ↑ Just curious, how does this compare to the Kirkland Basmati in the pink bag? i got some i havent tried yet, hoping to make some saffron rice, but is the quality comparable?
Tilda definitely has some of the best basmati rice. I'm curious to try the Kirkland version since Costco rarely disappoints.stilltippin wrote: ↑ Just curious, how does this compare to the Kirkland Basmati in the pink bag? i got some i havent tried yet, hoping to make some saffron rice, but is the quality comparable?
Indeed, i eat Tilda because all the others i have tried from India Gate to Elephant to No Name Basmati and more have not been as good. I am curious about the Kirkland as well but have not been anxious to be stuck with a large amount of not as good rice if it fails.
Basmati rice is longer thread than jasmine and it's lighter/flakier. Thus, it's good with most Indian cuisine and curry. If you've ever eaten Indian, you most likely have had basmati rice at some point in your life and just didn't notice.dirkdigglr wrote: ↑ I've never tried basmati rice before. How is it different from usual Asian (jasmine) rice? Is it a good substitute?
