On the morning of September 2nd, at some traditional markets in Ho Chi Minh City such as Nguyen Tri Phuong, Thanh Da, Hoa Binh, Ba Chieu..., the number of shoppers was quite bustling. Stalls with meat, fish, vegetables, and fruits attracted many buyers.
At Ba Chieu market, Ms. Dang Thuy Anh - living in Binh Thanh ward, said that her family spent the first days of the holiday going out to play and visit relatives, so they only took advantage of going to the market to shop on the last day.
Tomorrow the whole family will return to work, so I bought vegetables, meat, and fish for the next few days. Today going to the market, I see more crowded than usual, especially fresh food stalls. I mainly choose items that can be stored in the refrigerator to avoid having to go to the market on the first day of work" - Ms. Thuy Anh shared.

I see quite a lot of customers, especially at the food area. During this time, the supermarket also has many promotions, so the family bought quite a lot of necessary items" - Mr. An said.
