| Wang, I have lived in Shanghai now for 1 year and originally from NY. The prices that you paid for the groceries are a bit expensive from the supermarket. I think you can get similar items in an wet market for as much as 1/2 of the prices on veggies and 3/4 of the price on meat. The veggies in these wet markets are fresher than the supermarket and there is even room to haggle. Although I have heard that the items in the wet markets can be a bit untrustworthy. Can anyone confirm this? |
