Enjoying the sweet taste of Maize (Corn) and African Pears.

in Steem Cameroonlast month

As the seasons changed, my cravings for African pears and roasted maize grew stronger. There's something about the combination of the two that just hits the spot. But, as much as I loved indulging in this treat, my wallet didn't share the same enthusiasm.

Every blessed day as I close from work, I found myself shelling out Nine Hundred Naira (approximately 4.649 Steem) for just one roasted pears and a serving of maize. It was a steep price to pay, but I just couldn't resist the allure of this tasty duo.

However, as the days turned into weeks, the financial strain began to take its toll. I knew I had to find a way to satisfy my cravings without breaking the bank.

That's when I hatched a plan. I remembered that Mkpat Enin Local Government Area, a region a bit far from my home in Uyo, was renowned for its affordable produce. I decided to take a trip down there and stock up on African pears and maize. On June 15th, I set off on my journey, eager to save some money and indulge in my favourite combination.

When I arrived at the village, I was thrilled to discover that the prices were significantly lower than what I was used to paying. I seized the opportunity and bought a large quantity of both African pears and maize.

The journey back home was filled with anticipation. I couldn't wait to cook and devour my purchases. As I sat down to enjoy my meal, the flavours and textures melded together in perfect harmony. It was a truly satisfying experience, and I felt grateful to have found a way to enjoy my favourite food without breaking the bank.

As I savoured the last bite, I realized that it's the little things in life that bring us the most joy. Taking the time to plan and prepare a meal, rather than relying on expensive convenience options, had not only saved me money but had also brought me a sense of fulfillment.

That day, June 15th, was my "Happy Day" the day I took control of my cravings and discovered the sweet taste of savings.
