Grocery shopping

이거 봉지 주세요 — markets vs marts, one card.

마트 chains (이마트, 롯데마트) vs 동네 슈퍼 (corner marts) vs 재래시장 (traditional markets). Prices drop, haggling rises as you go local.

Weigh-your-own produce at traditional markets: point, ask 얼마예요?, nod, pay. 카드 돼요? usually yes at marts, sometimes no at markets.

Bring your own bag (장바구니) — plastic bags cost money by law. Bring a 재사용 백 and feel superior.
