A great way to get some healthy, fresh food without blowing your budget is to shop at local markets. Even the smallest of towns will usually have a pop up food market on over the weekend where you can pick up lots of locally grown, and made, fruit, vegetables, jams and cheeses. In bigger towns or cities these famer’s markets can sometimes be permanent installations and you’ll find all the locals there buying their daily wares.
Depending on where you end up, some stall holders may be open to haggling over the price while others will have the cost predetermined. Find out what the etiquette is before you go, the last thing you want to do is insult someone by offering them a fraction of what they’ve asked of you. Also, if you can learn a few relevant phrases in the local language this can be very helpful. You’ll seem less like a rich, easily scammable tourist and, hopefully, be taken more seriously.
