Cash in small bills alongside your card, since some vendors are cash-only while others are card-only, plus a sturdy tote or backpack for purchases and a cooler in the car for anything perishable. Go early for selection or the last hour for deals. Walk the full market once before buying, note the two best stalls, then circle back and commit.
