I came to Australia as a poor student, to save money I generally cook most of my meals. The thriftiness in me has not rubbed off much even though I've been out of student hood for a while now. To be save even more money me and Yoshi shop for groceries at West End market when ever we can.
This place opens from 6am ish to about 2pm ish every Saturday , it offers abundance of fresh vegetables, fruits, seafood, meat and a great atmosphere. Shaded by giant fig trees, the smell of fresh food , aromas from freshly blended coffee and cooked food and also the occasional live music is just a superb way to spend your Saturday.
Some people say the fresh goods here are sold at prices from the 90's, so with that saving get yourself a German sausage , a cuppa and enjoy your Saturday... while you can...Location : Davies Park Market West End is located in Davies Park - off Montague Road and at the end of Jane Street. @ Brisbane
Taste : depends on your recipe/ cooking
How do you spend your Saturdays?

Those are some amazing food pictures. I love a good farmers market on Saturdays too. But EVERY Saturday I go wine tasting. so luxurious.
Gosh! The vege at thr looks so fresh aye!
We also head out to the year-round Farmers' Market at Union Square in NYC on the weekends. Unfortunately, we don't have local pineapples! =(
what a great way to spend your saturday! i enjoy going to the farmer's market as well because the produce selection is amazing! for my situation though, i grow a lot of organic vegetables and fruit so i don't rely too much on the farmer's market!
@Kenzie: Tq .. Wine tasting every Saturday...wow thats great... luxury indeed!

The markets in Brisbane look great! Love the pictures .. your pics makes it all look sooo irrestible :) J
I don't think they're that cheap. Not bad though, compared to the Powerhouse Farmers Markets.
