Nobleou:
Truth has always been a bitter pill

Thank you Canada for such recognition

ezebunafo:
you are not alone bro,me I just tear the price tag on anything I buy from the supermarket before getting home.just ignore,my own even use to curse the seller

jeph19:
I got tired of hearing "you've been cheated again, you don't know how to price" till date I've stopped buying things when coming home.

I came back from Abuja some weeks ago... I bought nothing

femi4:
It's a woman thing, they don't always trust the judgement of their men when it comes to buy buy

Just be yourself n embrace your cross, you don’t need to deflate or inflate the price

amazonguru001:
I think it's common with all women.

My own wife will see something she really likes and would command respect and honor whne put to use, but she would prefer not to buy it because of as small as N1000.

She will haggle price till the seller asks her to go.
So when she gets home, she will tell you story of how she saw one very nice gown etc
Ok madam where is it.

That's when she will tell you the seller didnt agree the amount she was pricing it.

Just imagine these genda.

Very unimaginable set of people.

akan102:
Me, when am asked the price, I do simply reply " last price" and walk away, no more discussion on the matter, or change topic.

IamAsiri:
It's all your decision. You can decide to ask how much she believes it's worth and get better at haggling prices or you can keep throwing away money (especially if you really do have more than enough), afterall, rich people don't think much about pricing goods.

Chubhie:
Learn not to tell her price. Whenever she asks, tell hear babe with a smile I've forgotten the price. A Smile inbetween mischief and innocence of a child. Be stoic about like 3 times in a role. She would eventually excuse your folly.

Pedrocross4568:
Is there a school where women learn these behaviors?
Women can be quite difficult to understand.
Please continue buying those items; just don’t disclose the total cost.

Onegai:
How about we ignore all the bad advice dished out here and try and communicate like adults, hmmm?

Tell her "babe/madam, I know you are the Ogbongbe Gbana of pricing, after you na you! I like doing these things to please you but when you complain about the price, it's like you don't appreciate my effort. So why not ignore my pocket and praise your baby for thinking of how to please his woman?"

If she complains after that statement, come and report her to me and I give you permission to chase NL girls

(No, I won't give you permission sha, everyone on this site is crazy, myself included).

Your wife thinks she's helping you, she doesn't realize it is hurting your feelings and making you feel unappreciated. So tell her, use your words, you went to school, you can speak

PS: my mum and dad had that same issue almost 40 years ago, over cooking pots. After their talk, she stated going "you paid N20,000 for this meat (which I know is actually N8,000 but I won't mention it)?!! Woooowwww !!!"

Goo0dHardDick:
Ignore her or just tell her you bought it at a higher price.

She can buy the items 1 Naira or probably get them free of charge when she gets to the market herself. Some people thinks living in Nigeria today is the same as 1955

dangermouse:
So you can choose to stop buying or deflate the price to her whenever you bought and she asks you the price. She will still complain by the way.

Goodluck bro.

dollypi:
The purpose...that is for us to know, and for you to find out..

indoorlove:
They prefer you giving them the money so they can "corner" some and pay their contribution

dollypi:
The internet is the best thing to happen to gender dynamics in Nigeria..

Men are comparing notes and uncovering female tactics..

Fekumzi123:
Better stop thinking about women matter, they're all the same. Me I have stopped telling my wife the real price.
Even if you eventually give her the money to go and buy it at that cheaper price, it is either she brings inferior one or nothing.
Don't mind them

yemmit90:
If a woman says they cheated you, just know she is 100% right they do. The right thing you should've done is to ask her the right price and use it to bargain next time. You will be amazed she could be right or almost right.

dangermouse:
Indirectly telling you to stop buying. She considers it her duty and i bet she is a stay at wife right?

Where else do you want her to get money from, when you keep buying does food items?

That is women for you.
