I like shopping. I have been shopping in both supermarket and local market. Some goods are available in both markets. I used to compare the prices between them and think about what I need to buy anything else in the market, Then decide which one to go. Someone advices that it is so convenient to shop in the supermarket where you can get what you need. you can also get special purchase of good quality commodities domestic and imported.

From picture 1, there are a great deal of luxury vegetable and fruit being layout orderly. Some of them are imported. As i see the lemons are from California. All the lemon in the same size had been washed and polished. In contrast, the local market in picture 2 is so far different. there are many spots where you buy and pay after. it doesn't have many sorts of vegetable. But i prefer shopping in local market because the goods are fresh eventhough they don't have a good looking. They are just from farms that you may get a shock when a worm is found in the vegetable.

both of supermarket and local market have its advantages and disadvantages. It depends on consuming condition and personal living style.
