Question

Do you shop at local markets?

Answer 1

Living on an island there isn't much choice for shopping. We have a few local Mom & Pops markets that are close to our home that we can go there to buy our bread each day or a few things we need such as rice or even dish soap. These types of markets don't offer us much of a variety for fruits and vegetables so we are forced to go to one of the larger markets here on the islands. We have 3 larger markets to choose from. On the street, we have farmers and people who have fruit trees in their yard that set up a small table on the road to sell the fruit or veggies on. I normally will buy my fruit and veggies from these people and not from the markets near my home. I also make a trip to the town once a week to go to the local market to stock up on all kinds of veggies and fish for the week. I have plenty of fruit trees and coconut trees here at my home so I don't need to buy this. Our local markets basically only sell fish and fresh fruits and veggies and it is so much cheaper to buy them there than in the larger markets on the islands.
