THE SHOPPING GAME (27/07/2020): "someone's grumpy"

I almost never do the shopping but I couldn't avoid it today, besides I had to get some clothes as I have plans to travel down to my grandparents in a few days time.

I would normally do my shopping at the usual Shoprite but owing to the fact our vehicle had developed a minor fault and in consideration of the cost of transportation, I decided to use one of the local stores nearby. I and my brother set out on this one.

As a result of the pandemic, the tricycle we boarded which would normally carry about four passengers now accepted only two and guess what....the fees doubled to that respect and if you haven't got your facemask, well, good luck getting a vehicle (government and their rules...facepalm).

On getting to the shop, I found out the clothes had gotten relatively more expensive and they all gave the excuse "everything's scarce and expensive now" besides we're currently approaching the Muslim holiday period "ileya". I guess they capitalized on this also.

I was only able to get one of everything except the provisions, I already exceeded my budget for the day which left me annoyed but still thankful I didn't have to get those items at the ShopRite. I definitely would have spent double considering the transportation cost and the fact that It's almost impossible to walk past any food section without taking a second look.
