#Burnsteem25 || Steemit Engagement Challenge S4-W1|Traditional Retail Shopping: Shopping at roadside retail along our Lady of Apostles School
Myself at the retail shop making purchase
Greetings all and welcome once again to my blog. It's yet another beautiful day filled with much hope for a better tomorrow. We just kickstarted the steemit engagement challenge for season 4 and I'm delighted to be in attendance at this wonderful program
Today this very community has requested that we review traditional retail shopping in our town or city, and for this reason, I will be taking us all on a tour of my shopping at roadside retail along our Lady of Apostles School located here in my town which Akwanaga local government area of Nasarawa state. I do hope you will enjoy reading through my blog.
Make a post that describes you are happy and are doing transactions in traditional retail.
It is always a pleasure on my part to do transactions in the aforementioned place. This is one of the busiest retail shopping sides we are having here in my town. The reason is that you can get eventually almost everything you will need for your daily activities.
We don't like paying much for transport to the main market because you can purchase all you need at this retail shop. One good thing about this place is that their goods tend to be even cheaper and hence a lot of people prefer buying here.
I'm always very happy going to this point to get my things because it is very close to my house. If I need anything at all, in less than five minutes I can be able to get that thing from the retail shops.
I have also developed many relationships with people in the retail shop here because most times if new fresh goods arrive, they will call me to come and see them. They do so most time because of the business review I normally do helping to promote their business via the steemit platform.
Enter your total purchase in your country's currency and convert it to a STEEM, SBD or TRX value.
As at the time of writing this contest, I visited the retail shops to purchase a few things and I will present their names and the price in my country's currency as well as its equivalent in steem. As I have said earlier, things here are quite cheap. The prices I will be listing below are the amount I used in purchasing my goods.
| Name of Items | Price in NGN | Price in Steem |
|---|---|---|
| Iris Potatoes | 500 | 3.5 |
| Meat | 1000 | 7.0 |
| Detergent | 200 | 1.2 |
| Smoked Fish | 300 | 2 |
| Stock Fish | 500 | 3.5 |
| Fresh tomatoes | 250 | 1.7 |
| Garden Egg | 100 | 0.7 |
| Total | 2850 | 19.6 |
Write down the traditional retail address where you shop and include a map of the location using the what3words app or google maps.
As I have earlier stated above, the traditional retail address where I shop is along our Lady of Apostles School, which is located here in Akwanaga local government area of Nasarawa state Nigeria. The what3words location of this very place is seen below alongside a Google map.

The images of the places I did my purchase can be seen in the gallery below.
Give reasons why you enjoy shopping at traditional retail.
The reasons why I enjoy shopping in this traditional retail are not far-fetched. I will be highlighting the most important reasons below using a bullet.
The first reason is that things are quite cheaper here because goods come directly from the source
The place is quite closer to my house
I have been able to build a relationship with almost everyone here hence even without money I can get items to pay back later.
Conclusion
Everyone prefers shopping in a place where he/she can easily get access to the goods they want to purchase at a very affordable price. I hardly go out to other places to buy goods because eventually all my daily needs are found in this area of mine. The place is developing very well considering the electricity and the road construction currently going on. They have created lots of channel road which has made more people come for trades in this area.

I really like shopping on the spot, besides the cheap stuff we can choose the goods directly. Moreover, the seller is generous.
I also share about traditional retail, if you have time please take a look and I will be happy.
Excelente amigo @simonnwigwe.
Disponer de mercados tradicionales para hacer las compras del hogar y que estos estén cerca del hogar es una bendición y una fortaleza.
Siempre en estos mercados se consiguen buenas ofertas de productos muy frescos y diversos.
