Grocery Shopping in Morocco

I just got back from Essaouira’s souk, where the locals shop. I bought:

  • 6 eggs.
  • A whole chicken breast (meaning, uh, all the white meat on the bird). The butcher pulled it from his refrigeration unit–a box of water.
  • A mango, 6 plums and 4 apples.
  • Some carrots, an onion and a green pepper.
  • Some couscous.
  • A couple baguettes.

All for 75 dirhams, or just under CAN $10. A little cheaper than Urban Fare, methinks.

    IGA Marketplace is now running ads that say “Simply less”. I’m sure this is in response to Urban Fare. But even IGA costs more than a souk!

    I’m a Dan-D-Pack girl myself. A large bag of veggies for $5, same bag from the safeway $20.

    That’s some breakfast Darren. You must be planning a serious workout!
