going to the health food shop... and recs?

I'm making my fortnightly trip to my local heath food shop - i love it there, they have every herb/spice/grain/seed/tea and you can scoop and bag your own so you only buy what you need (saves me loads of money...)

anyway, after spending some time on this site I have noticed a couple of things recommended, for instance, last time i bought some 'psyllium husk' powder for added fibre, and some stevia... i know this might sound too general a question, but I was wondering what products people buy from their local health food shop that might not be as readily available in supermarkets - I was thinking of getting some chia seeds (although they are quite expensive) and maybe some flax meal, or perhaps some protein powder (they have pea, soy and whey. Also suppliments and teas - i don't know where to start with either.
