    You have several general stores in Bamako where you can find European food. However, the price is incredibly high. I use to buy a maximum of my food and beverage in the small streets around the market.
    Goods are not nicely displayed but you can save up to 80%

    Juices, tin food, dry food, drugstore itmes, etc.

    Negotiate good rebates for large quantities

    Batik
    by Alpha_Ghana
    Malians wear traditional clothes that look between the coloured African dressing and the Arabic one.
    Batik is a Malian fabric you can find at different prices in the boutiques of Bamako. Curiously, the best qualities are imported from Europe, but you can find local "imitations" at very good prices.

    Buy the fabric in a shop and ask a taylor to make a dress or a clothe for you. Prices are below 5000 CFA for a low quality but can go up to 70000 CFA or more for the top quality.
