Hello readers! A lull in our system has put us slightly behind in our posting, however you get three for the price of one all at once! Of course in separate posts.
Last Sunday was a trip to the Calgary Farmers Market. It occurs to me that to make a cheap date, exactly what a date should be sometimes you have to think outside of the box. For example, going to the farmers market to buy groceries and produce as a part of your weekly shopping might not really seem like a date, and more of a drag. But who is to say that going to the market can't be a date? Here's why;
Craig's Review:
So you get up on a Sunday and you have to go shopping. If you're living with your partner, girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, wife, spouse, whatever or not you can turn a trip to the Farmers Market into a great, fun outing formed into a date. For lunch try Crepes from the Creprie (can't remember the name) at a quite affordable price at about $7.00 per person. To compliment a light lunch the market also offers up a ton of free samples of things like fresh produce, pizza, light desserts and more. A trip to the Market can be a great way to support local business, get fresh produce, and turn the drag of grocery shopping into quality time spent with your significant other, and with several locations throughout the city, its accessible to most anyone! Still a bit of a drag because its still shopping though..

Katie's Review:
Craig is right, this was a think outside the box situation. It might not be the greatest date, but we had fun talking to all the vendors and trying new things. I also think that the nicest people are at the farmers markets. No one seems to be in a bad mood and everyone is just enjoying the day.
Also, if you find yourself at the Calgary's Farmers Market make sure to try Cruffs. This place is to die for. They are the cream puff specialists. They have a variety of puffs with things like skor bits, chocolate, vanilla,nuts etc. Mix this with a variety of fillings, my favourite is the Baileys filling. Makes for a great and small dessert.....unless you eat 6!
