I remember those days as a kid I used to run errands for my elder ones in the neighborhood. I used to be that very transparent and truthful child. So, many people in the neighborhood would always prefer I get some stuffs for them. Sometimes, parents with kids my age would prefer sending me to such errands even when their children are around. I didn't mind.
In most cases, I get tipped anytime I returned. Initially, I would turn down the money, but as time went on I started seeing those things they offer as their little way of showing appreciation, and my reward for being useful.
Those tips I received on a regular basis for running errands became a driving force, it prevented me from complaining and made me offer those services willfully.
Thinking about the SpendHBD initiative, the discounts we receive in each transaction we make serves as motivation, making us complain less about the incessant hike in the price of goods and services, and encouraging us to spend more on things we need without looking back.
I visited God's own Supermarket yesterday evening to buy some groceries and other things I'll be needing over the weekend. Food is one basic necessity that should always be around. At first, I bought bread and some satchets of coffee.
After the QR invoice was generated, I went on to scan and to pay. I spent 3.224 HBD on my first purchase. After which I received a discount of 0.967 when I visited distriator.com to make my claim. Trust 
Here's a screenshot from my device when I was trying to scan the QR invoice the business generated
A notification I received confirming the cashback was sent successfully
After my first purchase, I remembered I would be needing a lot more than just bread and coffee since I'll be having a visitor over the weekend. I realized I needed to get more provisions. I had to wait for 20minutes which is the stipulated interval before making a second transaction.
But as the time was ticking, I picked the things I needed. I bought A packet of spaghetti, a packet a macaroni, satchets of granulated sugar, a detergent, packets of noodles, satchets of vegetable oil, shoe polish, air freshener, satchets of tomato pastes, and a few other things.
After I was done picking the things I needed, the business owner generated yet another QR invoice for me, this time it was worth 7.641 HBD. I scanned yet again and received a discount of 2.674 HBD when I visited distriator.com.
After my transactions were successful, I realised that I have risen from 17th in the leaderboard rank to 15. That means I'm making progress, but then I really need to do more since the month is almost over and many other Hive shoppers are really doing tremendously well with the SpendHBD project.
I really felt happy after my shopping experience. I spent a total of 10.865 HBD and claimed 3.641 in discounts. I'll love to share with you a breakdown from my Hive keychain's history showing how my transaction went at God's Own supermarket.
I also took some pictures while shopping and it will also be my pleasure to share these pictures with you..
This is my experience spending HBD in one of the thriving listed businesses in my area, I hope you liked it.
I'm very delighted to be a part of this project and I commend the SpendHBD team. I'll keep spreading the word!!
I'm brainbrian, Thank you for reading to the end.
