Cabbage is okay in small amounts once in a while, but I would not rely on it regularly.
I looked up "Chinese lettuce" and its not something we have over here, so I can't comment on that.
The main problem with grocery store foods is lack of fiber and low calcium to phosphorous ratio. You can help by adding some finely blended grass hay or soaked ZooMed Grassland pellets to your daily grocery store greens and supplementing with a tiny pinch of calcium powder two or three times a week. If grocery store greens are a must for you, then favor endive, escarole, and rocket salad. Mix in lots of other stuff when you can like carrot tops, celery tops, collard, mustard and turnip greens, cilantro (coriander), italian dandelion (chicory), radiccio, bok choy, etc...
