The day was Monday, I had an experience shopping that day. That day, I left with my roommate to shop at the hostel for a week. It was a very experiential and long day of big purchases. I woke up early that morning as planned. My roommate woke up with me, because it was our turn to go shopping today. That's why we all had breakfast at eight o'clock. Our target is to reach the market before nine in the morning. We had to market according to a large list, so our planning was very important.
After resting until 8:30 in the morning, we started our journey towards the market. We hired a rickshaw to travel from our hostel to the market. I prefer to ride a rickshaw by paying the fare. That's why I asked for the rickshaw fare. Although initially the rickshaw fare was demanded more than usual. But I set the rickshaw fare at 40 Bangladeshi taka as the normal price. Then we took seats in the rickshaw.
It was quite hot after getting into the rickshaw, but it wasn't too difficult to adapt to. Because while riding in a rickshaw, the body was exposed to enough air. We were sitting in a rickshaw, enjoying the scenery around the road, enjoying the breeze. I felt a little annoyed in the rickshaw, because there was a noise being made in the rickshaw, which was hurting my ears in a very oblique way. Anyway, I continued to enjoy the ride.
The beauty around the road was beautiful. We were walking along looking at the concrete roads and the huge buildings. I really enjoyed the blue-white view of the sky because it fascinated me. The blue-white beauty of the sky is no less than that of a beautiful woman. Anyway, I didn't make the mistake of capturing it on camera while I was enjoying it.
Anyway, after a fifteen-minute journey, we reached Joydevpur Bazaar. After reaching Joydevpur market, we first entered the fish market. The reason we first entered the fish market is because we want to buy fresh fish. We were very happy to enter the fish market because we had entered a new fish market. But the price of fish here was quite high. I have mentioned some scenes from the fish market below.

Then I bought the necessary fish at the fish shop. I bought 9 kg of Rui fish from the market. We purchased 9 kg of fish from the Rui fish stall mentioned in the picture. We set the price of fish at 350 taka per kilogram. The price list is mentioned below.

After purchasing the fish, we cut them. We cut the fish for 15 Bangladeshi taka per kilogram, which was slightly less than 1 steem. In total, we cut all the fish for 8 steem.
After cutting the fish, we came to a rice warehouse. There was sufficient rice imports here. We purchased three sacks of good quality rice according to our preferences. If you want, see a picture of the warehouse in the picture below.
I purchased three 25-kg bags of rice from the rice warehouse. The price per sack was 1450 Bangladeshi taka. The price list is clarified below.
Price of purchased rice | 3bag X 1450= 4350 bdt | 255 steem |

Anyway, after buying the rice, we paid the price there. After paying the price, we went to a vegetable shop. We went to the vegetable shop and were looking for fresh vegetables to buy. We purchased the necessary vegetables from a vegetable shop.
We bought pumpkins, potatoes, cauliflower, tomatoes, leafy vegetables, etc. The prices of vegetables here were quite normal, I mentioned the pictures of fresh pumpkins and corollas from the vegetable shop.

After we purchased all the vegetables we needed, we paid for them. Our total purchase cost at the vegetable shop was 4,570 Bangladeshi taka. Which is converted to the current steem price,

After we finished buying vegetables, we went to buy chicken. Plans were underway to end the market activities by purchasing chickens from chicken shops. Anyway, we went to a chicken shop and bought 9kg of broiler chicken. At the same time, we purchased 4 kg of layer chickens. You can see the prices of broiler chickens and layer chickens in the picture below.
Purchased broiler chickens | 9kg X 140= 1260 bdt | 74 steem |
---|---|---|
Purchased layer chickens | 4.6kg X 270= 1242 bdt | 73 steem |
After purchasing all the products according to the market list, we hired a rickshaw to carry them. The rickshaw fare, including the goods we were carrying, was set at 80 Bangladeshi taka. Then we loaded all our purchases into the rickshaw and sat down.
After returning home, I rested. After getting enough rest, I took a shower and freshened up. After finishing our bath, we calculated the cost of all the markets. The cost of all the markets is presented in the table below.
