I know everyone knows you can get cheap agar agar at Asian markets but I finally found some locally here where I live and I'm tickled pink! $1.50 Canadian/25 grams
 and some others I saw on the internet that may be suitable


 It helps to know what you're looking for 
 Oh yeah...I also found that if you pour your agar after it gets BELOW 50 degrees you won't get condensation in your plates. LOL sometimes I'm such a noob I embarrass myself. learn from my mistakes grasshopper.

I thought it was rather expensive.... Maybe they were jewish.. 
Someone can comment on the "agar agar" Q? Can I just use it as if it were agar or must I add something?
Thanks, MF

MF, does your package have vanilla flavoring? I was looking the other day and found both the yellow bag and the white one in that picture. I thought the yellow had flavoring in it. I don't know if that would have an effect or not. The white one with the telephone works well. 25g for around $1.00.

I can't even prounounce the name of the place, it's the Asian market across the street from that wicker place near Centerfolds strip club in Winnipeg.
