    That was a culture shock for me when I moved to the US. I knew that back in the day, in rural areas of my country, the markets only opened once a week. I was shocked to find that happen in urban/suburban areas in the US. Back home I could just go to the closest market any day. Morning news would have a report comparing prices in different markets across the city, so you could pick the one that has the best price for what you need that day.

      This sounds so efficient and amazing. I’m currently trying to move to a more self-sufficient lifestyle, and a community like this is very appealing, and makes so much sense. Where is ‘home’ for you?
