My economical aunt
Born 2004, M, from Ojo, NigeriaMy aunt asked me to follow her to the supermarket to buy some foodstuffs. I declined at first, not that I am lazy, it's just that I know my aunt very well. She is not quite welcomed at the supermarket. It's as a result of her trying to lower the price of the commodity she wants to buy despite the price tag.
We have been kicked out of the supermarket a number of times, and for once, I am tired of the shame. It so happened this fateful day, I had agreed to go with her. We reached the supermarket, as she went about collecting all the foodstuffs she needed.
One hour later, and the cashier in the supermarket have been reduced to tears, as my aunt had price the foodstuffs to the last penny. And once again, we were kicked out, with our faces posted on a sign board, which says "BANNED".
My aunt didn't give up. There is this particular supermarket that I pitied the most. Seems they don't know my aunt. As my aunt and I were walking around, Someone ran up to us from the supermarket, telling my aunt and I to patronize them.
I was shaking my head as I almost cried for him. What made me almost cry was the fact that the man was handsome. My aunt walked over to his supermarket, and asked for the price of the electric cookers.
The worst part was that the man was happy to have finally gotten a customer. According to the price tag, the gas cooker cost over $3000
"It has a price tag attached to it". The man said
"It's quite expensive if you ask me, won't you give me a discount". My aunt pleaded, showing off her puppy dog eyes.
"Okay madam, I will give you a discount, but it won't be more than 5%" he said, as his smile faded away.
"Why don't we negotiate the price" she said while flashing her white set of teeth at him. I instantly knew the man would be duped right before his very eyes.
Turns out, my aunt and I walked out of the supermarket, with three gas cookers in our hands. What surprised me the most was that, she bought the three of them at just $2500. That's not even up to the price of one. The man still don't understand how it happened.
My aunt and I looked back, and saw the man crying. My aunt couldn't help it, but tease the man.
"Sir, are u crying?" my aunt asked, teasing him.
"No ma, I am just shedding tears of joy." He replied, still crying.
Meanwhile, my aunt and I went back home. Thanks for reading.
