- Is SEK 196, 26 too much for these fruits and veg?
I got into juicing last year but this year I am taking it to a new level by juicing every day and adding veggies in addition to carrots to the mix. So, am I going to be able to afford to live a healthier life?
Maybe not if I don’t find the best places in Stockholm to buy fresh fruits and veggies year round.
So I took my question to my Facebook friends to find out what others are paying not only in Stockholm but London and Paris. But it was a native Stockholmer, a really cool guy (smart as a whip, funny, and a clever business man) who gave me the inside scoop.
And since he was so nice to help me which of course in itself was super nice, I am sharing the love here:

Rasmus Ok, I’ll tell you some secrets of the indigenous population of Stockholm

1. As someone mentioned – Farmers markets – which are hard to find in the winter, maybe at Hötorget and inside some subwaystations.

Rasmus 2. As also mentioned – small shops catering for the non-european population asian, arab, indian markets are great places, check them out whenever you pass one.

Adrianne Tusen tack
Rasmus (nice to hear from you by the way). Now where is Haymarket? I’m definitely going to the “ethnic” stores. They are fun to visit anyway and I hadn’t thought about the tunnelbana shops. They always seemed a bit dodgy, but not anymore.

Rasmus 3. The real secret. Any ordinary ICA, Vi, Hemköp, Coop, Willys or whatever situated in a neighborhood where most citizens are from africa, russia, eastern europe, north africa, the middle east, india, china or southeast asia, will have lots of great fresh food at great prices, but almost none of all the prefab-stuff Swedes buy.

Rasmus :D You know, dodgy is actually a good indicator of low prices and great vegetables. And you will notice that those are the places who start to give you heavy discounts as soon as they understand that you are a regular customer, just be nice. Hugs


Adrianne OK
Rasmus, I’ve bought plants at terrific prices at Haymarket. And I LOVE your tip #3. It will require some research and a special trip ‘but will be well worth it if I am going to keep this up. And I’ll be nice

Kramar!

Rasmus Happy to be of help, and take care. And please avoid going to Alby, it seems to be some gang activity there, lots of robberies and rapes during daytime lately. Other neighborhoods with a bad reputation should be fine, its just history.

Adrianne OK, Will stay well clear of Alby. Truly appreciate the info. In fact I’m going to make a blog post about it. With friends like you I just might be OK here
Getting the inside scoop is always nice but when it’s in your home away from home is fantastic. Nice things happen to me in Sweden.
