The Daily Food Shopping Game (15-09-2025)| (Week No. 84)

Purchasing food ingredients for daily meals is part of the way we contribute towards healthy living and this is beyond just going to the store or market to purchase groceries; it’s about our choice of foods, planning before stepping out and also about the budget.

Food ingredients shopping is more economical and of course healthier because the ingredients are fresh.

On Monday 15 September 2025, I decided to visit the market to purchase few items for lunch.

Market view

After having breakfast, I thought of making something healthy for lunch so I decided to step out in the morning so to have access to fresh ingredients especially vegetable.

It was a rainy morning; the sky was cloudy but I needed to work with time so I hurried out to the market. It started raining when I was at the market, I quickly purchase the few items I needed for porridge yam from just few stand.

Different sizes of yam

The yam seller brought out different sizes of yam for me to choose from and I went for the one that suits my budget.

I also bought other ingredients ( fresh pepper and onions) from him. After making payment, I moved to another seller where I purchased cow skin, pumpkin leaf, dried black pepper and crayfish.

I didn’t spend much time in the market because I could access every ingredient on my list without having to move around. I also like to shop in the market like this because of accessibility and affordability.
