“Five euros a box instead of 7! shouts a seller from the Aligre market in Paris (12th arrondissement), shortly before the shelves are packed. Sonia, 64, turns back and hastens to buy the discounted case of strawberries. This nursing executive, who lives with her two daughters, has got into the habit of doing the end of the market for a few months. “I come on purpose before closing time. I live at the other end of the 12th arrondissement, but the whole arrondissement knows that you have to come to the market at 12:30 p.m. to do good business. In addition to her strawberries, Sonia managed to find organic tomatoes “at a reduction of one euro”.
