- I wear shorts and oversized tee most times. I like to see my legs in the market.

- Hahahaha. It is the hailing for me. I use a lot of “Daddy” and “Mummy” on those old people. Every other day I tell one of them they look like my favourite aunty or uncle, so I was drawn to them.

- I have one bagco I have been using for months. I wash it when I get home and dry it for the next market day.

- I make a list in my phone too. I start making the list within the week. That is how I tend not to forget anything.

Yeah, I dress in jeans and tops .


A heavy bargainer (covers face)


My family members tease me a lot about this.
My trick is to hail you customer even when I'm buying from you for the first time


I make lists but still buy on impulse I hate that I do this.

I don't buy from people I know.
I buy from specific people but have no problem switching.

I got big tote bags now since price of bagco bags went up.

GreatAdvice:
I wear boxers and singlet. I do all my shopping right on my phone and it is delivered to me 2hrs later. By shopping online, I limit my exposure to toxic fumes, dirty roadside puddle, police extortion and random street fight. Moreover, by shopping online, I'm creating jobs for others as well as saving the planet from global warming. I will advise everyone living in a big city to buy groceries online, it may seem expensive but exposure to cancer causing fumes is detrimental to your health.

You use to be an atheist those days dunno if you have changed. I been like you oo

Luckygurl:
I do shorts and t shirts mostly. I have dedicated customers for different items to avoid haggling prices and wasting time.

I just wish to dash in and dash out in the shortest possible time.

Dear lord I always think I am alone in these.
I buy enough meat anyway yet once it finish.. It is bye-bye to the food.

pocohantas:
I dread buying meat. I think buying meat is the true test of your negotiation skills because this is where you can be ripped badly. Other items like frozen food, vegetable oil and seasoning cubes have fixed prices. Even if there is a difference, it would be N20-50.

But you see meat (beef or goat meat)? If you snooze, you would lose badly.

To buy meat, I make a mental calculation of how many pieces of N50/100 meat I can get from it. Just the way bukas cut their meat. Then take away another sum as a discount on bulk purchase.

Thankfully I have a butcher that does me well now and my calculation never fails when I get home to cut into my preferred size.

Yes I cut myself. Even my chicken and turkey, I cut myself. There are dedicated knives for this sha.

Lol I thought I'm the only one that makes list of things to buy my friends thinks it's weird

pocohantas:


You guys don’t freeze your food or what? Where do you find the time to eat all of them?

doggedfighter:




What will I change to ?

How are you doing out there, dearie?

pocohantas:


You guys don’t freeze your food or what? Where do you find the time to eat all of them?




So what do they do? Just enter the market and start buying?

doggedfighter:


See my people here


In my own case, I never rest until the meat in the pot finishes
