H Mart is the biggest chain of Korean supermarkets in New Jersey, but the North Jersey stores don't seem to be run by the same owner.
Last week at the H Mart in Englewood, a 15-pound bag of California-grown Kokuho Yellow Label White Rice was on sale for $9.99, a savings of $5.
The catch: You need the store's Smart Card coupon and must buy more than $30, excluding coupon items.
The next day, I stopped at the H Mart in Little Ferry and found the same 15-pound bag of rice for $10.88, with no strings attached.
This H Mart put the regular price at $15.99 -- not the $14.99 quoted in Englewood -- and my receipt showed a savings of $5.11.
I also found a large seedless watermelon in the Little Ferry store for $4.99, compared to $7.99 in Englewood.
The Englewood store did have Chinese broccoli on sale for 98 cents a pound.

Good ingredients from Costco
Cold-smoked wild sockeye salmon from Alaska, refrigerated basil pesto, salted pollock, pignoli nuts, organic quinoa -- the list of quality ingredients from Costco Wholesale is long.
Supplement them with a few key items from other stores, such as whole-wheat pasta, and meal preparation is a snap.
An egg-white frittata made with sweet peppers, garlic, shredded cheese and salted Alaskan pollock, a cousin of the cod. I served it with a mixture of organic brown rice and quinoa with salsa verde.
