About every two blocks is a store selling produce and maybe a few other things. I can't figure out how people choose a store since they seem the same to me. I assume they base it on location or a recommendation from a friend. I sometimes go to these stores and I sometimes go to the grocery store, which is close to our apartment.

At the store it is serve yourself, |
|
preferably using gloves found in the metal box. |
|
Then take your bag over to the scale and press the number (found on the sign, see first picture). |
|
Maybe these are a different kind of yam or sweet potato? |
|
You can also look at the picture or name. |
|
After pressing the picture/name/number, the machine will produce a sticker with the price. f.y.i., tubérculos = tubers |
|
Check out the celery!! |
|
During the week there is a changing display of fruits and vegetables. When we arrived late on Saturday a lot of foods were sold out, including from the display. It pays to shop on Friday or join the crowds on Saturday. |
I am intimidated from that celery all the way over here.
