MY FIRST BIG SHOPPING

avatar
I have never been a type that loves shopping but I at least had the habit of picking the few things I will be needing for the month at the beginning of every new month. Many things has changed now, I cannot remember the last time I visited the super market. Given that I am no longer as financial buoyant as I use to be, I simply go to near by mini stores to pick the things I need when I ever I need them. Flashing back to when I use to do little shopping, there is an embracing incident I will love to shear with you guys. Now let's get on with it.

Visiting Ibadan for the first time, I was just a student. My shopping experiences in Ibadan where certainly my first as I never knew what it felt like to shop while I was in Port Harcourt with my parents. My mother use to have a mini store and almost every thing we consume were gotten from there. Now it's a new world and I had to adapt to a new lifestyle. Feedwell being a Super Market was quite popular in Ibadan, most of my friends went there to get whatever they need and I simply joined them. At the beginning of every month I simply go there to pick most of the things I will need for the month. I enjoyed there services and that made me never to try any other super market around.

On a faithful day I woke up to see a fat credit alert on my phone. My cousin who is in the US had sent me two hundred dollars which was about seventy thousand naira then. Added up to the money that was in my account I had over a hundred thousand naira, it was probably the happiest day of my life. Since it was already the end of the month, I made up my mind that I was going to shop big for the month and I did. The only problem is that it ended really bad.

I had never used a shopping cart in my entire life but I made sure to carry one on that very day. For every thing that I will need for the month, I made sure I pick an extra. At the end of it all the whole stuff amounted to about 80 thousand naira, it was nothing I can't handle, at least I thought so. It was time to pay and I brought out my visa card, only then did I realise that my account has been block. All the while I have been operating on a student account and will need to upgrade it before I can accommodate up to a hundred thousand in it.

Not only do I have to drop all of the things I have collected in shame, I also had to trek home. The distance was massive but I had no option, I do not have any other money on me as my plan was to withdraw some money from the ATM before going home. The next day I went straight to the bank with a bittered heart, stood on the queue for about ten minutes only to realize what really was the cause of my problem. The account was finally upgrade and I could access my money. Though I latter went back for that shopping but the did had already been done.


Thank you so much guys for reading up till the end. I am @ernesto6402 and happy to have sheared my most funny shopping experience with you guys. One Love✌️
