In Latin America fruits and vegetables can be purchased in most supermarkets. However, if you are cost conscious and want to save money, try to purchase your fruits and vegetables at open-air markets or street markets. These markets are usually held once or twice a week in most areas (or daily in large towns), usually in the morning. In Costa Rica these open-air markets are called Feria del Agricultor. |
