A few, which are always a visit worth:
 
Street Markets
 
Nizza Monferato every Friday (morning) from the central place through the old town, not easy to find a free parking lot, perhaps you are lucky and get one direct at the fruit and vegetable marketplace

Every 3rd Sunday is a "antique" market on the main place.
 
Dogliani every Tuesday morning through the old town, parking lots can be find at both side of the little river outside the old town
 
Alba every Thursday morning a smaller local one at the market place, every Saturday the large touristic one through the old town, not easy to find a free parking lot (direct at the market hall, in the old town with entrance by the hospital or from the south)
 
Mombercelli every Monday morning at the central "parking" place of the village. Small but has everything you need daily, except meat, not easy to find a free parking lot (market place itself, or at the street entering the village from north)
 
Montegrosso every Tuesday morning at central place near the railway station
