Yes,

As far as I can see it is a correct example of Second Conditional

If I went to the market, I would have (better- buy)... is second conditional.

If I had gone to the market I would have had/bought... is third conditional,

If I had gone to the market, I would have ...is generally referred to as 'mixed conditional'.


All are good, natural English.
