Cool.

Food Prices - Levinsky Market

102 nis - First visit

Realized we needed more Salad ingredients and bummed I never bought 1+1 baby leaves.
The shop would closed in another 30 mins. Mmm. anyways veggie shops never closed on time. I grab my bag and decided to go back!!
Bought 4 bags of baby salad leaves, shitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms all 1+1 for good measure. A further 50 nis

Total 152 nis

Was recommended to try Levinsky market for end of week shopping.
Verdict bought more 'boutique' ingredients, baby leaves etc, Shitake; Straw; Oyster mushrooms as the only bargain prices (for me) were the refrigeration items at a reduced 1+1 prices

Other items such as aubergine, carrots were either at a lower quality or my usual place are better priced.

All in all, a good experience. It's always refreshing to try something different, and education to evaluate and compare, even if just to re-affirm what you knew all along. Now confirmed, confidence renewed, restored, and resurrected. Yeah worth it..
