Introduction

---

Shopping is very common most importantly in the life of women because they can price things more than men and it is has become a habit, I myself I hardly do shopping as I can't price very much and I am not a shopping type I usually do it once in a while.

Who does the shopping in your household and why

My mother does the shopping in our household.
My mother is the one who does all the shopping in our house because she can price it very well at an affordable price, women have the gift of buying things at an affordable price because we men once they tell us the price of something we will just give them the money without saying anything.

I remember when I went to the market to buy something, that item cost #2,000 naira but I bought it at the sum of #4,000 because they seller told me that the price of it is #5,000 so I just gave him #4,000 naira to avoid bargain and arguing of price I was very happy when I came home and whem my mum saw it, I told her the amount that I bought it and she started laughing at me that if it was to be her she will buy it for #1,5000 naira and I became sad and since then anything that I want to buy I will always send my mum because she will but it at a cheap price.

You can see the reason why my mum does all the shopping for us 😂 if we go by ourselves they will cheat us, so my mum know how to buy things from them that's why she always does the shopping in our household.

Are you a "shopper" or a "buyer"

I am a buyer as I don't like shopping, I love buying things that are affordable to me.
Shopping consumes a lot of money because once you enter there you will see different types of items that will interest you and you will end up spending more than your budget for that shopping and they will make sure they convince you to buy more things from them.

I love buying things in the market hence I can price it and it will also be cheaper than when you go for shopping, buying things have become a part of me as I don't like shopping too much I usually go to shopping at most thrice a year.

Who do you think find the best bargains, men or women

I believe with my explanation above you will find out that women definitely gets the best bargains, because they know the quality of and item they can tell when it's fake or original but we men 😅 we will just go and buy anything we see in the market without checking it properly.

Women are very good at bargain and they know when and how to price a particular item that they want to buy, mostly if you go to the market or shopping center you will hardly find a man there and even if a man is there you will see that he is always accompanied by a woman so that they will not cheat him 😂.

In Nigerian 🇳🇬 market you will hardly find a man there because he didn't know how to price items, women are always the ones going to the market to buy things for the household because they know how to get the best bargains.

---

With the way our country Nigeria 🇳🇬 is now, there's no specific price for a particular item as people sell the way they want which is very bad but I somehow don't blame them because there's hardship in the country.
As a man going to the market once they see you they will increase the price of the item because they know that you will not price them, but if you are a woman they will adjust 😂 sellers prefer to sell to men than women because women find the best bargains.

What do you prefer? Brand or service

I definitely prefer a service because if the service is good then they will have enough customers irrespective of wether it's sold at a cost or cheap price.

A brand will be good but if the service is bad, then it will chase alot of customer away from them, a good customer service is very important in every business and that's what people need and nothing more.

Even if they find out that your brand is not quallty enough for them as far as your service is good, they will walk up to you and tell you how they feel about your brand and will give you advice to increase the quality of it.

Imagine walking into a shop and they treat and attended to you well and very fast, tell me will you go away from them?
As for me i will continue going there because I am valued, the secret of every business lies on it service and doing what people want form you.

I remember when I went to a particular shop that have a very good brand and many people have been taking about it so I decided to visit there.
When I arrive I ordered for a particular item and I stayed for about 40 minutes before being attended and that make me to miss a very important meeting that I was supposed to attend, I was very angry and left when I found out that the meeting that I was supposed to attend have ended.
Since then I prefer a service than a brand because had they attend to me very fast I wouldn't have missed such important meeting.

Show us what you bought on your lastest shopping spree

This was my first shopping of the year as I have been very busy to create time for it, when the time arrived I realized that the prize of goods and services have increased massively.

This is the jean trouser

I went to purchase a Jin trouser and a T-shirt and I budget #10,000 naira which is 37.8502 steem for it but when I arrived I noticed that the price have increased and I later bought the jean trouser for #8,000 naira which is 30.28016 steem and the T-shirt for #5,000 naira which is 18.9251 steem. And the total cost of the shopping was #13,000 which is 49.20525 steem.

This is the T-shirt

I was very happy coming back from the shopping as I was very pleased and relieved going for my first shopping of the year, when I came back for the first time my mum was proud of me for buying an item 😂😅 because the product was worth the price and I was very happy at then end.
