How to Make the Most of a Farmer’s Market
| July 19, 2017
Comparison shop
At the farmer’s market, comparison shopping is key. Often certain vendors will skew their prices below everyone else’s to try and ramp up their sales. Finding the stall with the cheapest price is the easiest way to save money, but you can also test out your negotiating skills to get a better price.
If you see a person selling a basket of carrots, or a pint of strawberries that looks much better than everyone else’s, but at a higher price, mention that you saw a lower price elsewhere and ask if they’ll bring their price down. They may say no, but it can’t hurt to ask.
