than on the dry market. so i will just buy them in the groceries.i have bought some fruits on the dry market as the fruits on the groceries are more expensive. so there are only few items that are cheaper in the groceries than on the dry market. so i try to remember which ones are cheaper in teh groeceries so that i can buy it there. in the grocery a kilo of eggplant is just $1 while in the dry market it is about $1.50. so the big difference.

I agree with you, some vegetables are more cheaper on the groceries than on the dry market. I used to buy our vegetables very week on the dry market but because of the rain i decided to go to the groceries for our weekly supply of vegetables and I am happy that it's more cheaper and well pack than in the dry market.

There is a very big market with veggies, fruits, nuts and even cheeses and the like where I live, but it´s far from my house, so it doesn´t really pay off to go there as I live alone. But it´s near the hospital where I´m being treated, so when I go thwere, I also go and buy veggies, olives, avocados and nuts. They are about 1/63 of the price my supermarket has them. I the city I live, it seems that ever farmer´s markets are a lot more expensive if they are placed at better neighborhoods.

Yes i second your thought. many vegetables are sold at cheaper rates at the groceries as those are either bought by the farmers or through a single channel and not through several medium. This tends to reduce their prices as compared to those sold at the dry markets. They charge you less as against the prices at the dry markets where profit making is the main motive.

Does type of market influence the nutrients of food. No never. Price depends on supplies. So no chance to underestimate any natural stuff.

Hi friend, same thing will be available with a different price in different place, we must be careful while purchasing it and find out the quality of the thing, there is nothing wrong in buying a thing with a good quality, some times it will take more money but give the best output to us

Hi. I like vegetables too. I have a plan to eat more vegetables, just for increase my health. If we buy vegetables on traditional market, it's more cheap for sure. I prefer buy on traditional market.
Success to you and your family, happy mylotting :)
