Before I went to the market (Ilishan Market), I checked around my home for the food items that I would need and after making my list, I walked down to the local market in my community located at Ilishan Remo, Ogun State to buy some food items that I would use to prepare soup and stew for the weekend.


The first food items on my list that I bought was dry fish, stockfish and egusi. But this time I didn't buy from the woman I used to buy from before because she was not yet open for the day when I got to the market. So I went to this very organized and neat seller who also sold at a cheap price for me. This first soup items that I bought are very necessary for soup making and mustn't be left out while purchasing food items for soup.

The next food item I bought was the bitter leaf vegetable. It's been a long time I made my soup with this vegetable, so at the sight of a transparent bucket filled with fresh bitter leaf vegetable on the sellers shopping table I had to change my plans of buying Ukazi leaf vegetable to finally buying the bitter leaf vegetable instead. I bought a small quantity too because I do not like the vegetable to be too much in my soup so my soup doesn't taste too bitter.

I also bought some cow skin meat "Kpomo" for my meat. I usually use this to make my soup because I love the crunchy taste i get whenever I cut it into tiny tiny pieces and use it to make my soup😋

I also bought some seasonings that I could use to make stew during the week because the ones I bought the last time has all been used by me. I bought a sachet of star maggi and a roll of the Gino curry spices.

I bought some fresh pepper and tomatoes for making stew during the week. I was actually surprised at the quantity I got at such a low price and it made me ask the seller why? And she replied, saying that the rainy season has made tomatoes and pepper to do very well so I should be expecting to get a large quantity of them at a cheap price. I felt happy with the response because for few months now fresh tomatoes and pepper has been somehow scarce and if you get to see, you buy at a very costly price due to the dry season that we were in.

I bought onions too! This time, I bought in a big quantity too. One that could last me for like 2 weeks and at a very cheap price too. Buying in big quantity from the abokinas actually saves money for me because when I buy from street sellers I cannot get such a big quantity at a cheap price at all.

And finally, I checked my list and discovered that all on my list has been bought. Friends, that was how easy and less expensive my shopping experience was for me and I look forward to doing more shopping in my traditional retail market soon.
