Saturday at the Market!

Today, Scott and I walked over to the produce market! It was amazing :-) It is across the street from Mercado Central which is the fish and meat market we went to a couple of weeks ago. It was a little chilly today, but the walk is a pretty easy walk, probably about 20 minutes. There are tons of vendors in the market, so you can walk between them and see who has the best produce or prices and choose what you want from each vendor. There are even places with spices and a lot of legumes.

Keep in mind 450 CLP is equivalent to about 1 USD.
Lechuga: 500
Dos pimentos roja: 300
Seis cebollas: 500
Cauliflower: 800
Cinco naranjas: 400
Seis tomates: 400
Ocho limons: 200
Uvas: 1000
Siete Paltas: 800
Brussel Sprouts (dos bolsas): 1000
Clementinas: 600


We spent a total of 6500 Chilean pesos :-) I can't wait for berry season! The market will be even better then.
