Where to buy products in Italy - in the markets or in supermarkets?

Answer information department of "Tourism Thinness"
You can say that in the markets, food products, especially fruits, vegetables and seafood, are cheaper. It is inconvenient that buying them better in the morning, because about 13.00-14.00 sellers stop working. Of course, closer to the closure of the market is easier to buy goods at a significant discount (so often do that the unsold did not deteriorate), but that seafood and fish by this time in the heat can already be with a stink.

In supermarkets (in Italian "supermercato" ") Prices are not much higher than in the markets, but the assortment is more diverse, the conditions for storing products are much better. Meat products, cheeses, wines and other high-quality products, those that are expiring by the end of the year, are often sold separately and at a discount.

It goes without saying that the smaller the store size and the closer to the city center it is, the higher in it there will be the prices for products. This also applies to outlets near railway stations and various farm shops and family shops
