Hello to all Hiver's and friends !!! Today I would like to share to you all our market experience with my friend Jia to buy some seafoods to cook for our dinner.

After we been from the beach we planned to have dinner to our friend Novie's house.We like to cook a seafood dish and since my friend jia is from Zamboanga and not familiar in Cagayan de Oro market.


I guided and helped her to buy some seafoods.Before she know about Cogon market she used to buy seafood.She used to buy at Gaisano mall where it so expensive.


Yesterday she was surprised with the difference of prices at Cogon market where its very affordable.We bought 1 kilo of shrimps for only 150 pesos, 1 kilo of mussels , 4 pcs of crabs that cost 120 pesos only.


Then at dinner time we cooked it good for 6 people.All worth for the price and the total maximum of people to eat.


I am very practical so instead of going to the mall supermarket I will prefer to go to Cogon market to buy food and it saves me a lot.Then if I have extra then I could use it for kids expences such as school allowance and school projects.

Mostly I do go to Cogon market during 5pm so I can catch up the sidewalk display of the fresh fruits and vegetables from Bukidnon.The prices has a huge difference inside the cogon market than in sidewalk's.

Like the chopsuey vegetables if you buy inside the market stall the price cost's 60 pesos per kilo but in the sidewalk it only cost 25 pesos per kilo, you can even ask to make it 20 pesos per kilo.
So if you bring 500 pesos for your food allowance you can have it so much for the whole week if you are a smart buyer.
