# Shopping

## Groceries

Italians love to buy groceries at the markets, where you can find the best quality and many times you have the possibility to buy directly from the producer. This is a sustainable practice and an incentive to help the local producers. To respect the Italian cuisine heritage, locals know that the best way to buy good and fresh products is to buy groceries more times over the week (instead of going once a week and buying a lot of food all together). 

## Clothing

### Made Green in Italy

If you want to focus on supporting environmentally friendly products while in Italy, look for the [Made Green in Italy](https://www.mase.gov.it/pagina/made-green-italy-national-scheme) certification in supermarkets and clothing stores. Products marked with the symbol have been proven to meet the standards of environmental sustainability as set by the Italian Ministry of Environment and Energy Security.

### Secondhand & Vintage Stores

Try a store where you can purchase secondhand clothes, books, and other items. Brick and mortar vintage stores tend to command premium prices. <https://www.instagram.com/humanavintageitalia/>
