Popped out to the Central Markets at lunchtime to buy just 2 things, and have just staggered back in with arms full .......... bulk garlic, chillies, lemon-infused olive oil, several different cheeses, dried mushrooms, honey-roasted macadamias, a couple of asian sauces, quinoa, 00 flour for pasta making ......... nothing like impulse shopping.  And now my office stinks of garlic for the afternoon

The best kind of shopping, Karen . . .

[KarenH]

Oh, and I forgot the very smelly salami (but very tasty) - I think that is what is stinking out my office.

[dede]

So did you get the two things you went shopping for Karen?

[goldfish]

  . . if anything like me . . probably not . . .

[KarenH]

LOL    Yes I did dede - but those were the boring things I got from the supermarket next to the Central Markets - and they dont even rate a mention

[obbie]

wish I had markets near me....

[Delightful Den]

Me too.   

[kezza]

That's great to hear Emme.  I bought it without really researching too much.

Easy to do Karen. I love that I'm close enough to walk to the Central Market at lunch time too. I went yesterday actually. I'm mindful not to buy too much though when I go, as I have to walk the 25 minutes to the train after work. I only buy what I can carry easily.

I used to work in Wright St, so did most of the shopping at the market and I absolutely loved it. Pity our office moved.
Now I go to the showgrounds market on Sundays   It's completely different, but I love it too
