My post last week focussed on Jayanagar 9 Block vegetable vendor rates. This week on saturday morning I landed up in BigBazar to purchase vegetable. The rates are listed below:

Carrot : 20 Rs/Kg
Green Chilli : 31 Rs/Kg

Jaynagar 9 Block Vegetable Vendor Price:

Tomato : 30

Ladies Finger: 60
Capsicum : 60
Lemon : 5 Rs
Cabbage : 30 Rs/Kg
Mehthi Leaves: 1 bunch for 10 Rs
Palak Leaves : 1 bunch for 7 Rs
Brinjal : 30

Note:
As you can see vegetable vendor rates are much higher than BigBazar rates. There is any where between 20% to 100% difference in rates. Its much cheaper in BigBazar.
One issue normally people have with Vegetable and Fruits outlet like BigBazar , Reliance , SPAR etc is the quality of items. They are right about it. In SPAR quality sucks. Reliance is mixed bag. BigBazar was also like Reliance. This time around, I found almost 70% vegetables sold in Bigbazar to be on par with road side vegetable vendors.

Quality Observation of vegetables sold in bigbazar on saturday 10/mar/2012:
Tomato : Good
Potato : Good
Ladies Finger : Good
Capsicum: Good
Carrot : Above Average
Cabbage : Good
Palak Leaves : Good
Brinjal : Good
Onion : Pathetic
Methi Leaves : Average

Onion being a weekly chief requirement, I have no choice but to buy it from road side vegetable vendors.

I have arrived at the decision to purchase at least 60% to 70% vegetables from Bigbazar and the rest from vegetable vendors. This way I get to save almost 30% more money.
