Sharing an article I wrote about SIDCOR Sunday Market
Weekend Markets seem to be sprouting like mushrooms in key cities and distinct venues around Metro Manila. Most of these weekend market venues are fairly new. One of the few that has survived for more than a decade amidst several changes of venue is the SIDCOR Sunday Market.
Those who want to make the best of their SIDCOR Sunday market experience may find the following tips useful:
- Arrive early not just to secure a parking space but to avoid the heat of the sun.
- Try to eat a little breakfast because, with so much cooked food around, you might be tempted to eat something that will not sit well on an empty stomach.
- Bring enough eco-bags for your purchases. Have a separate bag for the wet purchases like fish and meat and another for the dry food like fruits and vegetables. If you plan to buy a lot, bring a stroller for your eco-bags. You’d be surprised how many patrons lug these strollers with them while going around.
- If at first you tend to have a hard time choosing who among the merchants you will buy stuff from, choose the friendliest of the lot or the one who will reduce the price even for a fraction. The prices of the goods being sold are almost the same.
