In here, there are many markets that starts from 2 am to 6 am only, they sells many things but most is food with very cheap price because the farmers directly sell it. I know it but i hadn't gone to early market yet...simply i could not wake up early. I woke up so early in this morning, around 4:30 am. I really didn't know what to do after that because it was really hard to sleep back. I decided to go to the early market that's not far from my place. Wow, i was so surprised with it...the market is really crowd and prices are much much cheaper... I do save much money when buying food in there. Right now, i will do save money by this way, i have to wake up a little bit early but it is worth since i can do save more money, right?

Hi, In our area the market is available on Tuesdays where the farmers sell farm fresh vegetables and of course you can get everything including the household items in such markets. Sometimes i do visit them but they start in the evening around 5 p.m. So it is a nice walk from my place to this market and get the things needed. There are some other near by places too where the weekly market days are different and it is really good to buy them in one go. I do get vegetables for a week and store them in my refrigerator. Fruits i prefer to buy it on day to day basis but sometimes i do buy them from these markets. In these markets the prices are cheaper as compared to the Malls and other street corner shops. In India you can find such vendors every where but they are a bit costly as compared to the market/supermarket.

Ya, in fact the farmer sell their product with the cheap price. It is much cheaper when comparing with the price that i buy from the retailers. I think it is really good when we can buy goods directly from the farmers, and we can save much money from it. Do you do save money also?

No, i am living in the city but most sellers in the early market are farmers, and retailers buy merchandise from them also...I met some retailers in a small market near my place they do buy in that early market also...The prices in the early market is much much cheaper comparing with prices that i have to buy from retailers.

You don't actually need to wake up early, you could just well sleep late. You say it starts at 2am, so why not just go there at 2am then sleep afterwards? hehehe.. I know these markets are really cheaper and their produce are cheaper as well, we also have that in our city but the market starts at around 3am. Sadly, I am too far away from it and it would take me a whole lot of time to go there. It's not that safe early in the morning because it's far. But it's really a good way to buy fresh and cheap. Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

Oh if I do that then I'd be absent from work since my job starts at 8am, I wouldn't have time to sleep if I woke up and left at 3am.

The markets from 2 am to 6 am. For sure, i won't to go market at 2 am, i will go to to around 5:30 only... This market is not far from my place so that i did go to there to buy instead of buying from retailers. Ya, you are right,it is really good way to buy fresh and cheap. I did save from it. In your place, the market starts from 3 am, then i think it is still longer till 6 am. You can try to go to buy in there.

Ya, we can save much money by buying in the farmers markets. You just try to wake up early 1-2 times and go to there and then see how much you can do save... I am very sure that you love go to farmers markets only later because all merchandise are very fresh with very cheap prices...

if you want to save you money during early market hour, in the night kindly budget your meal allowance for the whole day if the budget is 200pesos , buy 1/2 kilo of galonggong its 50pesos only, then buy vegetable like petchay total amount of 20pesos mixed at sardinas at 11.75 average total amount of 50pesos, the another 100pesos buy 1/2 kilo of chicken or pork. don't go to the market without any plan to budget your money.

I often buy food for cooking every morning. I did calculate after buying in the early market, i did save much when i buy the same if comparing with buying from retailers and supermarket. I think it is really good but i have to wake up early a little bit early... Do you often buy good in the early market?

yes often in the market start at 2am, because all vendors still waiting the wholesalers to buy the cheaper amount especially the retailers, if you want to save your daily budget try to wake up early in the morning and then but the wholesaler buyer not the retailer or supermarket.

Market really offers cheaper merchandise than groceries and supermarkets. Fish, meat and veggies are fresh too especially when you come early. You could also see different things there that we dont used to see in the supermarkets and groceries like kakanin and bargain stuffs.

Exactly...i was so surprised when i went to the market in the early time. There are many goods in there and i saw some neighbor women who lives near in my place are shopping in there also. I guess they did exercise before going to the market. From right now, i will go to buy food in the early market, it is so so cheap when buying directly from farmers. I guess you often go to markets to buy food too, right?
