    12.50 for some SR flour, Eggs and a bag of potatos. Thats what i get for going to coles. Has anyone ever been to Dandenong Market? was jelous of the 35 dollar fruit and veg box someone got last weekend from Preston market. Or is there a good online service people like?

      If we’re nearby we’ll do the Dandy Market. It’s not cost effective for us to drive there just to go to the market but if we’re out and about we’ll go. Are you Paky way? I’ve heard good things about Garfield fruit and veg, and I think they’re online too. I’m more Cranbourne way so I go to what they call Market on the main street and I’m pretty happy with price and quality.

      Market Europa is pretty good price for fruit and veg if there’s one near you. It’s close enough to mine that Dandy market is another 7km/30 mins. Dandy is probably better but effort counts too.

      I can’t tell you how much I miss Preston Markets, even now. My oldest and I were a fixture there. Vendors knew his name/he knew them etc. We were there upwards of three times a week from when he was a newborn. The sounds of the market would soothe him to sleep when he was a baby. He had a tiny size 2 uniform of the taco truck that Ellie bought for him and he wore proudly out and about.

      The few markets we have in Perth are more like Queen Vic than just regular weekly shopping markets.
