A long-awaited Grocery Shopping day at 'Shwapno'.

Everyone is posting their summer vacation photos, and I'm doing grocery shopping!!

Ah, life sometimes feels dull but there's no way to pause. So better do some good grocery shopping so at least our stomach can get rid of the dullness!

This Friday I went to the nearby grocery store to do some shopping which I usually don't after moving to our new house. So it was kind of a fun day for me. I'm not familiar with this branch and this experience felt new to me.


Shwapno (aka 'Dream' in our language) is a Bangladeshi supermarket chain, you will find their store all over the capital city. They give many promotional offers from time to time, especially on Fridays.

So if you love to do shopping, you must visit Shwapno often.

Upon entering the store, I saw the promotional displays featuring current sales and offers. I grabbed some cookies, oats, washing powder, and biscuits from the sale.

This store is quite big and just like other stores the products are organized into different sections or aisles, each containing specific types of products like produce, dairy, meat, bakery items, canned goods, and household essentials.

I grabbed a shopping cart to carry my items as I move through the store. This store has a wide variety of brands and products to choose from. You'll find different options for each type of item, allowing you to compare prices and select your preferred items.

Also, I have found that many products were in subsidiary price which is very rare in this type of huge malls. Probably, they get discounts from the companies!

Shwapno is well known for its sales, special offers, and discounts offers. For example, I bought some toiletries that come with free products like toothbrushes, body scrubbers, etc.

This store also has a lifestyle corner where they have clothing, accessories, etc. The product quality is not top notch but according to the price I found that they are good to go.

I didn't buy any frozen goods but seems like this shop offers a wide range of products in this section. This aisle was more crowded than others. The price seemed to me a little less than the regular wet market. I'm not sure how they afford to offer that price, probably because of their bulk purchase or commission from companies.

This section is dedicated to personal care products, cleaning supplies, and household essentials and this is one of my favorite aisles. I do love to browse the household stuff in such stores.

The price was a bit high than a regular shop but they have a range of products and the quality seemed good to me.


When I finished shopping, I headed to the checkout area. There were multiple cashier lanes. The VAT seemed quite high to me. Because we don't have to pay VAT in regular outside shops for the same products (It's kind of weird, I know). Vat policy is different here.

Anyway.

I have done a full grocery shopping after many days and it went well. It was not boring and I managed to finish it with peace of mind which I may not find in other places like the regular market. So I would give a point more to this store.

Happy shopping, everyone.

Fridays and weekly days are especially for this work, a person takes all the goods of his house and all this work also takes a person's whole day because small things have to be completed for the whole month or Then for the whole region here in Pakistan also people go and bring all the goods in the same way for a day.

Most Asian do the same, they do monthly grocery shopping at onec because that's more convenient and we can have a discount on bulk purchase as well.

I love this kind of stores too where I can find almost all the things I need in one go. Aside from it offers great deals it's also very convenient shopping there.

I agree. When we are busy, it's better to go to the mall rather open market.
Thanks.

Starting immediately, #MarketFriday will be paused for a period of time. I want to thank you for your support along the way and I look forward to seeing you back when I resume the posting concept.

#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 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.

Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday

#MarketFriday loves you!
