Shopping Habits of People between Countryside and City

What are the differences and similarities between shopping in the countryside and city? I have been lived in the countryside until I graduated from high school. I found that the shopping habits of people in the country and city are very different. For instance, the place they go for shopping and the times they shop.

People who live in the countryside always shop the articles which will be used daily at the grocery around their village. Such as eggs, soybean sauce, salt, sugar, flour and so on. Besides, they seldom go to the market for shopping the vegetables, fishes and meat. Since most of people raise chicken, duckling, goose and plant variety vegetables themselves. They only go to the market when there is a special festival, like Chinese New Year, the Moon Festival and etc.

While, people who live in the city usually go to the market or hyper market for shopping vegetables, fished, meat and the articles they use daily. Most people go to the hyper market for shopping once a week on Saturday or Sunday. The reason is that city people always busy with work from Monday to Friday.

However, recently years, people who live in the countryside have changed their shopping habits as well. Since more and more supermarkets are built in the countryside. It is convenient for people go to shop.
