Shops (tourists)
Most of the tourist shops accept credit cards like Euro/Master, Visa and  sometimes American Express. You can also pay at international hotels or in some restaurants with credit card

Journals

At a lot of kiosks you can get International journals and magazines one or two days after  date of issue.
Daily journals and magazines in French are available in the whole city.

Purchase of food

On the markets a big quantity and choice of fruits and vegetables are offered. Here you can try to trade for getting a good price. Often tourists and strangers are offered a higher price. There is always a difference to trade, even though you have the opinion it is cheap. 1Dirham has the worth of 0,5 Euro, compared with the salaries in Morocco.

Here are some pries of vegetables and fruits (depending on the season):     :        

1 Kilo of Zucchini, onions, aubergines 3-4DH
1 Kilo of potatoes 8DH
1 Kilo of oranges 3-4 DH
1 Kilo of grapes, red 4-6 DH
1 Kilo of grapes, Muscat 10 DH
1 Kilo of peaches 12-16 DH
1 Kilo of watermelons 4-6 DH
1 Kilo of melons 6DH
1 Kilo of bananas 8-12DH
1 Kilo of apples 8-16DH
1 Kilo of olives 8-20DH

                                     

Bread you can buy at each street corner. One little flat bread (black or white) costs1DH, a taller one 1,80DH and a Baguette 1,10DH. There is no big choice of bread in Morocco. 

Meat is available for 40-60 DH. Most of the European are frightened of the butchers, because the meat hang simply at the fresh air. It is sold normally the same day, it its butchered. Every part of the animals are salt. Be careful with minced meat.

Meat of chicken costs 30 DH/kg. You can even choose your "chicken", which will be killed and plucked for you.

Eggs can be bought without any risks. The prices are between 0,80 and 1,10DH, depending on the season. Eggs of  chicken in big farms are cheaper ("rumi", mostly brown, and with a similar size) and the eggs of the land ("beldi", smaller, differently coloured, but brighter) 

Fish is sold every day freshly at the fish-market. Except if it rains or a strong wind blows. Regard the signals for fresh fish: red gills and clear eyes
You have a big choice: f.e. gold-fish (sea bream) for
20 DH/kg,  sardines 7 DH/kg, shrimps 30 - 40 DH/kg

There are a lot baker's shops and cake shops.  The oldest and excellent  baker's shop is located at the corner of Av. A. Ben Abdellah - El Hajjali. The address: Café Chez Driss, 10, rue El Hajjali. Here you can also get cheese, butter and other products made from milk

Hint

It is useful to have a lot of small change to pay easily at the souqs, at the shops because small change is always missed. The easiest way is to ask at the bank to get a lot of small change when you receive money.

Super-markets

You will always find higher prices for imported products. for them. Also when they are produced in Morocco. At the new big super-markets like Macro and Marjane (in Casablanca, Agadir, Rabat and Marrakech) you can find a great and various choice of a lot of European products.
But it makes more fun to buy at the commercials at their little shops called Hannuts Sometimes  in case of any problems of understanding it is easier to get the food in the super-market
