We all love to go for shopping. I would say food shopping is what almost everyone does frequently, unlike other kinds of shopping.
When it comes to food shopping there are variety of places to get your food stuffs such as the supermarket, mini or local market, it all depends on the kind of product, quantity or quality.
Most people would prefer to shop in the supermarket because they feel most of the food stuffs there are of quality and well packaged, unlike the local market where you see everything raw and not well packaged enough to attract buyers. Even as that people like us would still prefer or choose the local market over any other.
Why I love shopping at the local market
In my country Ghana, the local market can been seen as a place where you can find large variety of foods. You have the choice to choose from this variety of foods that you like and is attractive. Supermarkets here are sometimes limited, you might not see exactly see what you are looking for but it is not so in the local market.
When it comes to pricing you can get a particular quality food for a cheaper price because there are different sellers there, so the competition is usually much, but in the supermarket since it is a one man business, there is only one fixed price which cannot be changed leaving you with no option and choices.
Also what excites me is that you get natural produce directly from the farmers and owner of the foods, so there would not be much processing before it gets to you. I usually hear that supermarkets are more of processed foods, I love natural products directly from the source, you know what I mean hahah...
Do I buy from one seller or different?
In the local market buying from a particular seller can be very difficult, especially when you can get the food stuffs for cheaper prices. Although having a particular seller can be very good when you find out that the person product is of quality and suits your taste. There is also a special benefits when you shop from a particular seller, like the extra recognition as a customer,but like I said earlier it is a large market I am still curious to try other sellers.
The supermarket is good for shopping and there are quality foods stuff there, but I would prefer the local market because it gives me what I want at anytime.
Thank you.
