Our big discovery

So we really eat quite a lot of fruit and all our friends who come to visit often comment that the place looks like a fruit shop. We go to a few good fruit and veg shops in and around Joburg and always get great stuff, but lately we have been feeling a bit ripped off by certain shops. so Denise decided to look into the city deep fruit market where they all get their fruit from and what do you know. We can go buy directly from them !!

So we ventured off there last saturday morning and entered a whole new world. It is truly a huge market stocking all fruit and veg known to mankind - in season stuff of course. The best part of it was the prices, it's really much cheaper than going to a normal fruit and veg shop. Not that we will stop supporting our local shops, but for the bulk that we buy our fruit in it is far more cost effective. It's worth the trip once a week or every second week to go and buy like this.


As an indication, we paid R250 for this fruit below where we normally would have paid between R450 - 500. Not bad !!!



Then we wen't to another fruit shop our friend Brian told us about to go and check that out so we landed up buying some more there and then we went on to our usual places to get their big avo's so this is the whole lot that we bought that day. Thank God I won a second fridge a year ago, and now we're beginning to think we need a third....
