We strongly recommend to the tourists that you should go at least three or four stalls to compare the prices, and see how cheap you can bargain the goods down to. It is usually twice or three times expensive than an acceptable price. Another tip is going to the market before 8Am for “morning price” that is little lower than usual for the same item.
