    Some of my Food Plugs in Lagos. Where I buy Seafood, Whole Sale Shopping, some of my favourite supermarkets and more! Can we talk about the elephant in the room? That is the HIGH COST OF FOOD! I don't know how we will combat Food Inflation in Nigeria, but I'm hoping you are doing okay.

    Oh My Gosh!!! Somebody take me to that's seafood market ASAP. Sisi ooo, you're bargaining like a rich woman 🤣🤣🤣. You tried though. But practice more.
    This is how my grandma taught me:
    When a seller says an item is say 100, divide that by 2, that's 50 then add like 10 and begin bargaining from 60. Always bargain with a smile and be jovial with the seller. Increase your amount little by little and even pretend to walk away. Usually you can get that 100 naira item for 70, or 75 .
    Also my Dad taught me this one: , if you're buying a lot of items from the same seller, just ignore the individual prices they tell you. Just gather all your items and offer the seller a wholesale price. They usually accept because you're buying a lot at the same time. I saw my dad pay about 50% below market rate in some London tourists market and I always use this especially at tourist markets because everything there is 1000% overpriced. Its also worked for me in Aba markets.
    Good luck. I enjoyed watching you as usual.

    You are a very respectful and kind lady. I’m amazed at the way you say thank you to everyone. As for bargaining, don’t let people make you feel bad. Just take it as if you are tipping them. God will continue to replenish your pocket…these market vlogs make me miss home sooo much, thanks for sharing.

    You can use it to make pumpkin soup. You need: olive oil, small onion, chopped .
    Butternut pumpkin, peeled, de-seeded and roughly cubed.
    Small red capsicum, de-seeded and diced
    A few springs of thyme and parsley.
    Vegetable stock
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper.
    You can add meat , fish any choice you like
    Directions
    Heat the 2tbs of olive oil in a large pan, add onion, pumpkin, red capsicum and herbs , cover and cook for 10minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the stock, then bring to the boil, lower the heat and simmer for 30-35 minutes until tender.
    Cool slightly, remove the herbs and then purée in a food processor or with a hand blender. Season well, re- heat add meat of your choice and serve.

    Sisi yemmie buys with her eyes, once she sees it, she wants it. And she is the type of buyer that sellers like, the seller suggests a product to the buyer and buyer says bring it. These buyers contribute to the economy very well

    Your bargain at the sea food/fruitmarket(Vi) no be am😅infact you didn’t bargain at all..But you did good with the pepper(epe market). It’s asif you always pity them so you try not to slash the price too much.😅I like the fact that you say “thank you” at the end of every bargain.To be honest bargaining can be stressful especially when you’re all sweaty and uncomfortable.

    Next time when they tell you price divid it by 2 if it is 2000 you will start with 1000 the next you will hear is no I can sell for 1000 they will give another price 1800 you will tell they 1200.This remind me of when I used to help my grandmother to sell truck of tomatoes in basket. Old memories

    Sisiyemmie you've really learnt to haggle prices o...The cost of food in Nigeria leaves one with no choice. Those seeds you held in a small plate are so good for seasoning beef and making jollof rice, they have this mintlike flavor. That local food market you went to is my plug for buying pepper and tomatoes, I wonder why I didn't go there when you were going o so I can meet you. Anyway it's too far off and the roads are tighter due to construction. I found a new market closer where they sell pepper, tomatoes, yam etc at cheaper rates. It's after Bogije just before Beachwood estate. Try it the next time you want to buy foodstuff for less.

    Honestly, you made me proud with your bargaining at the Epe market, i was shocked to see such fresh produce sold so cheaply. I told myself" if i move to Lagos, I'd be visiting this market regularly" , the basket of tomatoes you got for #900 would be gotten at #2000 or more here in portharcourt.
    As for the seafood market, well your bargaining was not so great.
    I look forward to see what you'll be using the parsley,squash and pumpkin to prepare.
