There is a market right across from our apartment complex that I have been going to for the last year. Recently I discovered this gigantic (and cheaper) market near the kids school bus stop though. Ever since, I have been going there. I like to compare it to Walmart because I can honestly get anything (basic needs that is) and everything there. It’s.so.cool!
I didn’t take as many pictures as I wanted to because I felt awkward taking pictures of things. . . I’m not sure why though since people don’t seem to have any problem taking pictures of us and our 3 blonde haired children all the time!
The veggie and fruit selection is huge! There are designated areas to buy chicken, pork, beef, fish, and tofu. There are tons of rice and dry good vendors. They even have all your basic home needs too (i.e. toilet paper, cleaners, mops, napkins, etc.)! I actually think it’s fun to go there. I go right after I drop the kids off so that any meat I buy is still fresh. . .
Veggie section (part of it anyways)
Fresh chicken and fresh eggs! You can buy the chicken and butcher it yourself at home for maximum freshness or they will do it for you at the time of purchase :)
Fruit section. Yes, those are cherry tomatoes in the bottom left corner because tomatoes are (rightly) considered fruit here. They are even often found on cakes with other fruit!
Poultry section (the chicken and all of it’s parts!)
Random household needs. See. . .this is why I compare this market to Walmart. So convenient! One stop shopping!
Pork. Yes, those are pig feet (and the pig heads are in the background). Pig feet are expensive! They are supposedly full of nutrients and good for your skin. They are actually really good if cooked well!
What I bought for dinners this week . . . all for a little less that $8!! From left to right: greens, bananas, tofu, rice, a type of green bean, mushrooms, garlic, corn off the cob, some type of gourd I don’t know how to say in English, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, green peppers, and ground meat!
All I can say is WOW!!!!!! I would be like a kid in a candy store. So much stuff to look at. Have you prepared the pigs feet? I guess if Colt likes chicken feet he might be a fan of pig feet. I am not an adventurous eater but Lauren is so she might make it pretty well there. Prayers for safety and dads blessing on you.
Thankful for how “convenient” the market is to shop and for all the fresh vegetables, fruit and meat that are available for everyone. Love to all!
