Today was my very first time going to the farmers market. I've always heard that its cheaper then the grocery store for veggies and fruits so I decided to see how big of a price difference it was. But first let me tell you about my experience.
Our farmers market is in a parking lot. It used to be downtown but they moved it, for reasons I don't know of. Theres not a lot of booths but enough space for groups of people to walk down the isle and see what they want. There all kinds of fruits and veggies just looked like a rainbow of healthy foods.
What I didn't like was that there weren't any scales for you to weigh your food so you could know how much you were going to spend. You know how at the grocery store you can weigh your food, and add more, or take some of the food out? Yeah I wish the farmers market had these so you could know before paying.
I also didn't see a huge price difference in the food. I took $10 and got some Organic Gala Apples, 4 Corn on the Cobs, 2 Broccoli Trees, and 2 vines of purple and green grapes. Now I know the corn is the same as the grocery stores but when I look at what I have I dont see a reason to go out of my way to go here every weekend as opposed to my local grocery store. The one thing that threw me off was the price of strawberries, it was more then my grocery store!
Overall it was an experience, and Im glad I experienced it. But I doubt I will be going back.
