A bazaar is a trading place for grocery products in an open space and most of the time the trade is made using cash. Local people have been doing their grocery shopping in bazaars for hundreds of years. Traders in bazaars bring their products early in the morning regardless of weather conditions and trade there until the evening or until they sell out all their products.
Although there are different shopping malls and markets, some people still prefer traditional bazaars. In bazaars, you can always ask for a discount, something you cannot do in shopping centers.
However, I always do my grocery shopping in shopping centers because they are indoor places, so a hot or a cold or a rainy weather will not restrict me, besides I can use my money on my credit card. Lastly, it is very convenient and quick. I don't have to walk around a big area to find what I need.
Surprisingly, Ecobozor has cleared out all my old beliefs about bazaars. First of all, it is an indoor place, but it is still a bazaar, since there are sellers from whom you will buy products. A cash or credit card option is available. You can take a cart and do your shopping. Ecobozor is a clean, comfortable, and nice place for grocery shopping.
