:lol: :lol: This pic was taken at Ingos Market. I usually get them though from either the little shop just down from St Anthony's chapel by the supermarket or right in Calangute on the left hand side. Shop..I think it begins with an A...and always makes me laugh cos it sounds quite rude! :lol: :lol: I've never had them break on me! Even had them 'heeled' when I've got home!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Pam you mean ARSON FOOTWEAR on Calangute High St I think??

Lizzy & Gemma, there are loads of breadmen doing the rounds in the tourist belt area..........don't tell me you've never heard the breadmans horn at 6.30am......lucky you!!! (sounds like a strangled duck)!! They ride around on bicycles with large round baskets strapped to the back and the bread and snacks you get from them are lovely, I love the egg patties...yummy!! My breadman is great, he sells the fresh milk in the poly bags and newspapers too. They also do the rounds at 6pm.
The fishman also does the rounds on his bike but you can tell the difference because his basket is square.

Thanks GFF I will be looking out for one of them now! We normally stay at the Marinha Dourada never seen them there. But November we are in Candolim so sure we will get some yummy samosas

Looks like the first thing to do when we get there in November is shoe shopping!!! Wow it looks like shoe heaven to me. I don't care if they only last the holiday, saves me looking around for some to take with me.

Hello,
I've bought LOADS of shoes from the little shop next to the Plantain Leaf in Calangute - not sure of the name of the shop but he has sacks full of shoes in every colour & size possible!
I've had some of them for four years, and I've bought them for other people so I can definitely recommend :wink:

We do our shopping in Panjim. After spending ages bartering on the markets etc we found we could get the same price without bartering in lots of shops in Panjim and less hassle to buy. Some shops even let you look round without hassle.
Make a day of it. Get the local bus to the ferry, free ferry over, bit of shopping. Check out the best bars in Panjim on this web site for a spot of lunch in air condition restaurants.

Carved furniture, I can spend all day in a furniture shop, every year we buy a load, and have it shipped home, it takes about 3 months to arrive home, but we have never been let down YET, also it works out far cheaper than buying furniture in this country. 8)

I have read many threads on what to buy in Goa, but there is never a mention of the famous Goan cashew nut! The best in the world So after you have bought the jewellery sarongs and things, spare a thought for the humble cashew nut :lol:
Ps Britannia Good Day cashew biscuits are great with a cup of tea
OK call me a cashewaholic if you like
No not a nut case :!:
