My salsas of choice are from Peppers in Rehoboth Beach (Delaware Destroyer for general consumption, Chesapeake Challenge for more heat), but there are plenty of good salsas out there...

The Garden Fresh line (as noted, found at Wegman's) is very flavorful, and fresh to boot (refrigerated plastic containers instead of sealed glass jars). The Jack's Special is my particular favorite.

Trader Joe's has a surprising number of decent salsas. (Surprising in that they look generic but taste good.) Their Santa Fe Red Pepper and Hot & Smoky Chipotle aren't bad at all for house-brands.

The Chile Today dried varieties are awesome, if you can find them. They're spice mixes to which you add fresh tomatoes and allow half an hour or so for the mix to reconstitute.

Perth, I've never heard of Super Targets, so you can assume that we don't have 'em. There are tons of west-coast sodas that are hard to find out here -- the Reed's line of ginger brews, many of the Hansen's Natural Soda flavors, Jones, etc., most of which can be shipped but with accompanying huge shipping costs.
