Mi primer plan recomendado les sonará extraño pero es de mis favoritos! ? Martes de plaza de mercado para comprar todas estas delicias!!! ? Apoyemos a los pequeños comerciantes, alimentémonos conscientemente y evitemos el plástico! Hoy fallé un poquito en esto último pero para el siguiente martes iré más preparada con mis contenedores y bolsas reutilizables ? #Sogamoso #Boyacá #QuéhacerenSogamoso #whattodoinSogamoso
