MARKET FRIDAY: BUYING FOOD ITEMS IN THE MARKET & POST SALLAH SITUATION IN THE MARKET
Hey lovelies ❤️
It's your favorite girl @debbie-ese 😍
Welcome to my blog 🤗
Thank God it's Friday and I'm happy to be joining the market Friday today. It has been a long week with so much activities from work, to searching for a space for my business, to the market and so on. I have had to be working from home pending the time I get a space in a strategic place for my fashion business.
I started my day by working on a customer's dress that I will be delivering latest tomorrow evening. Afterwards, I realized that I needed to go to the market to buy some few stuffs because tomorrow will be a very busy one for me. Apart from the dress that I'm making I need to pay a visit to a friend in the hospital. So, it might be quite stressful and that's the reason I decided to go to the market this evening.
The market is not looking too busy and I guess it's because of the Sallah celebration that took place earlier this week. Most of the shops are on lock. The market is mainly dominated by Muslims and most of them may have traveled to their hometown to celebrate with their families or taking the week off in their respective homes.
The major things I needed to purchase are some of the food items that I'm running out of such as pasta, noodles, rice, as well as pepper, tomatoes, onions for stew and vegetables for soup. Like I said in one of my recent posts that power supply have not been stable for a while in my neighborhood and it is really affecting me especially when the foods that I keep in the fridge get spoilt.
In terms of price and quantity of food in the market, pepper and tomatoes, for instance are quite in abundance. I bought #100 pepper and the nylon was so full that I thought the guy didn't hear the amount I told him at first. I guess this is so as we're approaching the raining season gradually.
The price of my favorite noodles, Indomie Onions keep increasing by the day as well. Even though the price is increasing I have got no choice than to buy. But is it possible that when the price of a particular product increase and people refuse to buy it for a long time, will the price be forced to reduce? Just curious because no matter how prices of products increase we still tend to buy it.
Thank you for your time lovelies.

Did you drop your link on the #MarketFriday post here?
Thank you!
No, I didn't drop it but I will do that now
Looks almost like Asia. Crazy to see how similar we are even from such far away !!
That's interesting to know. Is it the setting of the market or the foods that are similar?
I hope you find a place soon, it will be nice to do your work away from home and not have to drag your business to your house. Although, honestly, look at the money you save, and being able to work from home gives you the freedom to do things at home in between.
If you have room to dedicate to your business, I might be tempted to hang out there and save the extra money.
I will tell you what. I was so upset at how expensive tomatoes were one year, I wouldn't buy them. I need them, but, I couldn't believe how they could look me in the eye and quote me a price like that. I changed how I cooked and well, honestly, one person didn't burn his business, but, I felt better! LOL
I have run so far behind in the comments of #MarketFriday that I am having to do the abbreviated one so that I can finish them in an (almost) timely manner. For this, I apologize, but, just know that it doesn't change the way I viewed your post. I have read them all at least once, some twice and as usual, I am pleased to say that I always get the best. I just love how people have embraced the community and have really been making an effort to visit the other posts, learning about each other and giving pieces of advice, their opinions, and most of all, showing support to each other. That is what community is all about. I want to thank you for doing that.
Thank you for being part of #MarketFriday! I am honored.
#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but, it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that is these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.
Fridays are all about the #MarketFriday Challenge! Looking to take part in it? Here is how:

I could have considered working from home but I may be faced with some challenges. I intended to sell fabrics, threads, and other sewing materials, and if I work from home people would not be able to see my wares as much as it will be if it were to be in a public space.
