Crawford Market, Mumbai, MH, IN.. Must do it again. This time right.

Well recently my wife and I went to Crawford Market for purchasing a Steel Cupboard in Kalbadevi. Whilst, there are lots of avenues to shop around for variety of goods, the plan of action should be simple

1) Visit very early. Try to get there before sun is overhead. Say at 0900 AM IST

2) Have a list of to buy products. There is incredibly large variety of goods on offer. Kids Toys, Women's & Kids clothing, Imitation Watches, Foot Wear, Ladies Handbags and beauty care. I am not going to articulate all the vares. There are many reviews on TripAdvisor.com just for that

3)Bargain Hard... But wait, before you bargain, dont ask the final price. Visit all the street hawkers and check their offered price. Dont show intent for a sale as yet.

Once you have visited all hawkers and identified a product, home into these vendors for their final price. And bargain hard. If you are buying in bulk the discount is significantly higher.

It was shopping paradise for my wife. We spent just 2hrs as it was quite late (2105 IST)

But certainly, its an entertaining affair at the Crawford Market.

I certainly need to visit it again and this time on weekday and early morning.
