Today we did our morning shopping in the Place Roger Salengro. It's an outdoor market with lots of fruits and vegetables. Most of the market people are Arab. We spent 2,90 ($4.50) on a big bag of fruits and vegetables including two large and yummy tomatoes. Then we went to a butcher where we got some kufta meat (spiced ground beef), a few bags of spices, some cous-cous from a bulk cous-cous bucket, and a few other items. The total bill for everything was a tad over 10 euros ($15). The people in the stores are very friendly. Hopefully, this is what Morocco will be like when I go there.
Elena and I plan to do our shopping there as much as possible. We think it's better to support the people trying to make their living running vegetable stands than to spend all of our money at the lare grocery chains. The prices are also cheaper at the open air markets. The bananas today we 1,40/kg where they are about 2,20/kg in the grocery stores. The older bananas are as low as 1,20/kg but I didn't see any at that price today.
