This week..... shopping with kids

Yaaaaaaay. It’s another Friday with another opportunity to participate in fun-filled contest organized by Hive account@dreemport in collaboration with Market Friday by Hive account@dswingle.

For this week I have something to share from a small super market in a locality of Karachi City. The market’s name is Buy Time Super Market. There you can find various types of items including confectionary, grocery, dairy, bakery, drinks, crockery, jewellery, perfumes, accessories and makeup, toys, stationery, footwear, garments and undergarments. However, it is not that big a store and so the variety may not feel satisfactory in all the kinds of product. Nevertheless, it is not useless to give it a try especially when you are not really in search of a particular brand. Sometimes, you may find a unique thing in a good price that you have been searching for a long period of time. It’s up to luck smile 😊.

My kids were eagerly waiting for their summer vacations to spend their Eidi for their shopping. Some of you might me wondering what Eidi is. Eidi is a cash amount that younger in a family receive as a gift from their elders on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitar. Eid-ul-Fitar is an event that marks the end of the Holy month of Ramadan. I had promised my sons to take them to the market where they would buy the product of their choice. Last weekend was the time to fulfil the promise. I took both of them with me, but oooooops..... I couldn’t capture the snapshot of the market from outside, as my kids were with me so it was dangerous to leave their hand amidst the way. We were on foot na 🚶‍♀️ 🚶‍♂️.

I couldn’t capture the snapshot of every section. As you might know how difficult it is to shop with young kids. They may demand for very expensive item or they may have difficulty choosing what they actually want. Moreover, if there is something that doesn’t interest them they would kill you with their questions and complaints 😟. That’s why I took photographs of some places leaving the others.

On the ground floor of the store items if confectionary, grocery, dairy and drinks are present. Here is the rack of diapers of various brands. Their price ranged from 3.5$ to 8.5$ for a packet of fifty pieces.

Here 👇 is the rack for packaged milk of various brands. The price for 200 ml packet were 0.21 to 0.225 $.

Here👇 is the rack for various sauces and mayonnaise flavours including plain mayonnaise, mayo garlic, sandwich spread, chicken spread etc. The price for each 500ml pack ranged between 1.6$ to 1.8$.

Here 👇 are the racks for a range of biscuits. The price of each box ranges from 0.6 to 0.75$

This pack of cake rusk comprising of 8 pieces costs 1$.

Here is the refrigerator for dairy products including butter, yogurt and cheese. According to price mentioned on the list various products range from 0.25 $ to 2.5$.

I took this snap in a hurry so couldn’t take a clear picture of price list. Otherwise, I would be able to tell the exact prices for exact quantities.

Well our shopping had nothing to with anything on the ground floor. We went to the first floor where my kids bought the products of their choice. We spent most of the time in the toys section and Lol I don’t have a single picture for it. 😆
Nothing to worry. I have taken the picture of what they have bought.
Here is the set of swords and bow.

My elder son bought it for him and he was so quick to open it that I couldn’t even take a picture in its pack. It cost us 2.75$.

Here is the thermos. This is also bought by my elder son for school. It cost us 1.6$.

Here is the packet of 12 colour pencils. It cost us 0.8$. These colours are of good quality with soft lead for easy colouring.

We bought two packets if them. One for each boy 👦
Here is the toy that my younger one bought for him.

It is a fish catching toy. It uses two AA cells for moving the fish in a circle. He also bought cells for this toy.

Here is the hanger for earrings. Their Price ranged from 1 to 2 dollars.

Here are some racks for various types of crockery.

I couldn’t notice the price for everything, yet I had seen the prices for melamine plates. Their price ranged from 0.4 to 1 dollar.

Now coming to the challenge by dreemport this week. When I visited the market I had no idea what demands dreemport would do. Hehe. So I decided to go through my gallery and figure out if there id anything that would meet the challenge demands. And...........
Here we gooooo.....

Something Bubbly
Hmmm..... My younger one bought something that was bubbly. It is not a food product, yet it has bubbles- colourful bubbles that pop; and provide a good exercise for fine motor muscles of fingers. Also, they have relaxing effect on your mood.. What’s that??? 🤔
That’s the pop it!

Ptt, ptt, ptt....BUBLYYYY 😃
By the way, this bubbly thing cost us 1$.

Something prickly
Did we buy anything prickly? Ahaan! There is something that would give me a sensationally prickly effect on my skin when I will remove it after application on my skin... hehe.... what’s that?
That is wax for removing extra hair. 🤣

Its price was 0.75$ for 70 grams.

Something that smells good
For smells , there is an image for the rack of several varieties of perfumes and body sprays.

As I told you already that I was not aware of challenge questions for this week, this is an image that was captured by chance. I had no intention of buying any perfume. Though I love smells a lot, yet I avoid wearing them because of my son’s asthma.

Something that called my name
Yeah.....! There was something that was calling my name out loud there. However I didn’t buy it because the one I liked was expensive so I just took a picture of it.
Naah naah! It is nothing to eat. Instead, it is something to carry with you. A hand bag....... 👜. Hehe.

There was not a very wide range for bags. The one I liked had a price tag on it of 11$. Seriously, I was not ready to pay this much for a hand bag while I have some other important things to spend on. I would buy it some day when Hive would reach to moon again 🚀.
The prices of bags on this stand ranged from 3 to 11 dollars depending on their quality..

So, friends......!
That’s all for today’s trip. Eagerly waiting to see you all next Friday with a new trip, new energy and new challenge questions. I hope I would find them earlier this time. 😃.
