That said, they are putting up signs with an established price for the fruits, vegetables etc in some of the markets. And even if you pay a bit more, it is way under prices in the States and a lot fresher.
Works the same way for me in the Philippines, my wife wants me to hide until she is done shopping, then I get to show up to do the heavy lifting. Fresh markets there also better and cheaper than in the USA.
