This Friday, I took some time off work to go buy hot plates for my “not so new apartment”. Before now, I have been window shopping, looking around and comparing prices from different stores and products.
Usually when I buy electric appliances, I prefer to buy a brand that gives me up to six months warranty on their products, so in case anything comes up, I won’t need to spend extra money.
Yesterday was no different, because I had made up my mind to stop using my gas cooker. Perhaps, it’s because I have 24-hours light and with the price of gas currently, I need these electric hot plates to cut my gas bill.
Like any other shopping day of mine, there are lots of distractions for me. From non-stick frying pans, to toasters and even deep fryers everything was coming at me like “Are my what you are looking for” but when I looked at the price tag, my head quickly got back on track to what I really came to the store to buy. For instance, this electronic cooking stove and electric grilling pan really got my attention in-fact I had imagined using them to make some very nice grilled chicken and beef but the price was over my budget, so I had to move on.
Next to them were bread toasters! oh my goodness! This guys really want to remind me that I need to make more money in this life! because, what kind of oppression is this? just look at the price considering my budget! Anyway, I saved them so that once I hit that money bag, I will come back for them.
While was still looking for my hot plates, my eyes went straight to this sandwich maker and the deep fryer! Like what do this guys want from me? Practically reminding me about everything I don’t have in my house. I made up my mind to mind my business then this Brinox grill frying pans popped up although, they are so cute and within my budget, it was not actually what I came for, I had to continue my search.
Finally I saw the electric hot-plates I was looking for, with one year warranty and for only 6,900 naira only. Not just that, it came with two hot plates!
I was so happy because most of the stores I’ve been to earlier, were saying 8k for one plate and 12k for two plates without warranty.
I was so excited, that I even got some groceries for my house, you know I needed to try if this electric hot plates were actually working and they were 😂
