Wet Markets vs. Supermarkets — Save HKD 3,000-6,000/Year on Groceries

Buying fresh produce, meat, fish, and tofu at Hong Kong's neighbourhood wet markets (cooked food markets are in every district) costs 40-60% less than equivalent items at ParknShop or Wellcome. A family spending HKD 800/week on fresh groceries can cut this to HKD 450-500 by switching most fresh items to the wet market. Top-rated markets include Wan Chai Market (Central Escalator link), North Point Market, and Mong Kok Market. Visit before 9am for best selection and prices. No apps or cards needed — cash only at most stalls.
