If you want to get fresh produce, the best place to find it is not just in your local grocery store in Alberta, you can find it in a farmers market. You can buy a lot of things from the Sunday farmers market Edmonton. To make the most of your experience and to ensure that you only get the best buys, here are some things that you can do.

Plan how much money you are going to spend, then get it in cash. Most sellers in Alberta accept cash payments, even though there are others who will accept credit or debit cards, or even checks. Carrying cash will limit you to spending only the money you have carried, so this will give you better control of your finances. Before you live home, write down everything that you intend to buy, so that you do not end up straying from your budget.

Decide when the best time to shop is and allocate yourself enough time to go out. Depending on what you plan on buying, it can take you a few hours to make a purchase. If you want to get the best of everything, shopping early before midday is advisable. But if you want to get a discount, consider going in the evening, since most sellers are more likely to reduce prices for you, so that they don't carry their produce back home.

It pays to look around the area first before you start shopping. Scan the area and walk through the whole market. This will help you spot the best sellers and where the freshest produce is. Once you have covered the whole place, backtrack and start buying things from the best paces that you spotted earlier on.

Be willing to experiment. Don't just stick to buying things that you know. Once in a while, throw caution to the wind and try something different that you have never tried before, who knows; you might just get to like it.

Try and buy what you can find in the place, instead of looking for exotic produce. Things that are in season tend to cost a lot less, since there is plenty of it available at that particular time. Also, fresh produce tastes a lot better, since it hasn't been stored for a long time to the extent that it has lost its favor.

Consider buying large quantities of items. Learn different ways of storing produce, so that they do not rot. Once you get home, preserve the foodstuff. This can be by freezing or by canning. Buying lots of items will ensure that you enjoy them at other times in the year when they are not in season.

Chat up the people who are selling things. If you have any questions that you would like to ask them, do not hesitate to do so. Talking to them will give you lots of great insight. You will also learn a couple of things that you might have otherwise never learned.
