I'm an American in Paris who spends $150 a week on groceries. Here are the best things I buy at the market for 2.

• I'm an American in Paris, and I do my grocery shopping at the local market every week.
• I typically spend almost $150 a week, but it's worth it for the community feel.

I'm an American who's lived in Paris for over two years. One of my favorite French traditions is going to the local market on Sundays to get produce, meat, cheese, and even street food.

In France, the market is more than just a place to shop. It's also where the community comes together to talk with friends over a glass of wine or coffee.

Nearly every Sunday, my husband and I go to the Marché Gisèle Halimi to do our shopping for the week. It's a bit more expensive than going to a regular grocery store, but I prefer to support the local market.

Here's what we get for a week's worth of groceries for 140 euros, or about $150.
