3. Healthy fruit and vegetables: local addresses for fresh produce

⚠️ The costly mistake: filling your trolley with imported goods only. European brands are available everywhere but weigh quickly on the budget. The winning combination among residents is the supermarket chain for groceries and the local market for fruit, vegetables and fish.

The essentials:

• Large chains all over the island: Intermart (an Intermarché partner, eight stores) and Super U lead the way.
• French products are easy to find, particularly at Intermart.
• For fresh produce at gentle prices, local markets remain unbeatable.
