Here are some tips if you are planning a trip.
- Do NOT travel far for your groceries. There is no need to make a special trip to these popular markets. Instead, shop for your groceries around your neighbourhood.
- Opt for substitutes like Supermarkets or Mini marts to get your fresh produce.
- Buy more per trip to avoid daily trips
