Vegatables & Koyembedu Market

my wife has been asking me for longtime to take her to Koyembedu whole-sale fruit & vegatable market for long-time. Infact the market is one of the largest in asia and its soo busy all the 24 hours of the day. Though we are a small family of 4 members, my wife wants to buy vegatables fresh and at better cost, since supermarkets in annanagar sell at high cost. we went around 11 am and came out market at 12.30, its so hot outside and but we didnt feel the heat inside the market. we were comparing prices of each vegatable after buying with prices sold at supermarket. I could see many families busily bargaining with vendors and vendors denying saying its fixed price. Infact i too tired , but failed to get discount. People in a hurry would start buying vegatables in the front shops, before entering the market completely and in the front shops, the price would be higher by rs 3/4 per kg, so it better you go in to the market completely and check prices and start buying. Its fun taking children, as they would be happy seeing such a big market, as they are always seen small shops/supermarkets. The only problem is..the market floor is full of fresh leaves/little shabby, otherwise its worth buying in whole-sale market. Prices for your reference: Tomato: Rs 13/kg, Onion Rs 10/kg, Potato: Rs 7/kg, drumstick: rs 2/pc
beans: rs 40/kg, c.flower: rs 15/pc, green peas: rs 60/kg, double beans: rs 30/kg, this all i rememeber and friuts were also cheaper. Next time, when you visit the whole sale market, take good & solid carry bags and surely not all rs 100/500 notes, carry change! its better we go by 8am, so that market has complete fresh stock, infact you can go early, if you get-up in sundays!!
try it!
