Mobile Market Guidelines

BRING YOUR OWN REUSABLE BAG! We have limited bags available (and they hold more groceries!) ONLY TWO SHOPPERS AT A TIME! Please wait until you receive a shopping basket to begin shopping. LOOK AT THE LABELS! The maximum number you can take of each item is written next to the label. Example: APPLES (5) = take up to 5 apples BAG YOUR OWN GROCERIES! Once you are done shopping, please go to the table with your basket. We ask that you bag your own groceries and leave the basket on the table when you are done. ONLY SHOP FOR ONE HOUSEHOLD AT A TIME! If you are shopping for more than one household (i.e. a friend, family, neighbors, etc.), you will need to get back in line and make a new basket for each household.
