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

Switching to wet markets slashes grocery bills by HKD 3,000-6,000 per year, as fresh produce, meat, fish, and tofu cost 40-60% less than at ParknShop or Wellcome. A family spending HKD 800 per week on fresh groceries can cut this to HKD 450-500 by shopping primarily at neighbourhood markets. Top-rated locations include Wan Chai Market, North Point Market, and Mong Kok Market, with best prices and selection before 9am. This is cheaper than the average supermarket by at least HKD 350 per week, but requires cash, as most stalls do not accept cards or apps.
