RE: Weekend shopping in my local market

in Market Friday2 years ago

What a wonderful market you brought us to. I like the list that you use. I do that same thing and this way, we always have it on us. Who leaves home without their phone anymore? You did very thorough shopping and if I was the only one at home, I would do the same as you. One or two pots of food and alternate them daily. :) It is cheaper and more efficient.

I find that if you go to the same seller, you develop a relationship and you are able to get better buys or better produce. It pays to be loyal. I am glad to see the road is fixed. Over there, when it rains, it is a huge flooded road! The downpour is so torrential. I think you did well and it was fun tagging along with you! This was a great post! Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday! I cannot tell you how pleased I am to see so many participating every week. I have learned so much about the different cultures of the world, especially the small things that go unnoticed except by those looking for it. Life is interesting, wherever you are, whatever you are doing.

#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers markets and eventually branching out and evolving over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but, it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact of what is these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.

Yea! Shopping from the same seller each time you visit the market shows customer loyalty. The way sellers present their selves really matters a great deal.
Thank you reading through Ma'am and thanks for the update too!
