I realize that I don't have to go to a grocery store except to buy some meat and svjezi sir (translated: fresh cheese, kind of like cottage cheese but better. MUCH BETTER!). This market is only about a 10 minute walk so I can make it there couple of times a week. My challenge so far has been getting up early enough to make it there before the market closes. I am still half on Croatian time and half on Ottawa time, though I think I am switching over to Zagreb time pretty soon (as soon as Carla gets here!)
Everything is produced locally. Fruit, vegetables, cheeses, eggs, honey, jams. Yummy!!! Head lettuce costs less than $0.50 and it looked GOOD. I came across forest strawberries. For those of you that have never seen then before, they look like miniature strawberries. I smelled them before I saw them, they smell so good (and taste great). They were a bit pricey so I think I'll buy them when Carla is here .
Fresh strawberries are $2.50 per kg. That is at least half-price from what we pay in Canada on a good day. Guess what I've been eating every day? :-pWell, it's time for me to dig into my fresh fruit loot and have some strawberries. Bon appetit. :-)

Have you found a farmer's market for meat? :-)
Not yet, but I will have to look for it soon.
Daco:
Thanks for writing in English.
Ivan: Maybe your blog should be bi-lingual. It'd be good practice for your written language, and convenient reading for your European family! ;-)
