| Sydney's Paddy's Markets |
I had decided this was something i wanted to do on a regular basis and see if it makes a difference to our budget- with 3 kids who love their fruit & veges - i tend to be at the local supermarket spending countless $2-$3 3 days a week at least just topping up on fruit & veges for school lunches and dinners.
So today we had $10 just to go have a look and figure the place out- I used to love waking up at 4am on a saturday morning and head off to the markets with my mum & sis. Alice Brown to go fruit shopping- especially in summer- with all the seasonal fruit.
The parking was horrendous- so many CRAZY drivers no actual parking spots - just a get in get lucky spot parking. Once we found our spot we went inside & that was even more packed- i couldn't remember it been this bad- but i guess i never had to worry about 1 big trolley & 3 kids in a jammed packed area.
We got a whole box of our favourite apples (40 apples) for $5 and Navel Oranges $3 2kilos- (15) - at the supermarket i maybe lucky to get 8 apples for 2.50 and 4 oranges for $3
the kids absolutely had fun taste testing many other fruits- and enjoyed the new atmosphere- lots of fruit to choose from and found it very funny to see lots of funny people yelling out prices- Cortez was a parrot and went around copying everything he heard -
"$10 a box of apples only $10"So with $2 left we went to the Flower Market across the parking lot & we got 2 bunches of my favourite flowers- one in my favourite colour & the other bunch kaela chose... they are just so bright and made our day!!
We went home to find we have so much colour in one section of our house that it made us appreciate colours- We love bright & colurful things in life- it makes us feel all the above.
This is definitely going to be an ongoing event- It was so cheap! and loads of fun-
All the things that make our kitchen area a fun place.
