I get up early, it's Saturday and today I have to do most of my grocery shopping for the week. Vegetables, groceries, some fruit, condiments, etc, a Weekend Challenge in these parts. I prepare my usual morning coffee (essential for my daily functioning) and turn on the equipement. I unfold the window and focus on the options, to see what the screen shows me and what I am going to put in the cart.
First I perform a general search, a pan across the board. I need to assess the best options.
There is a site on the left with a large group, there must be something unusual there....o very very cheap.
Closer I see variety, but no people. Something smells bad, it's possible it's the price-quality ratio.
Just in front the image of the product seems to have better resolution, there is cleanliness, good colors, chromatic harmony and it is a quite busy area. As to take into account.
On the right there is good movement, several products in high demand as far as I can see.
In another nearby area there is more of the same, I see it every day, nothing new, so here I don't even look.
In the end I decide, I put everything in the cart and make the purchase. A while later it is already at my door. You saw how easy it was, everything was as easy as pie, but...
What they don't know is that after filling my pockets with money (yes, because the prices here are sky high), going down five floors to the street, standing in several lines, rummaging and bargaining, I finally manage to make the purchase. Then I climb the five floors back to my apartment with a full bag and empty pockets.
Well, I certainly have an advantage. From my terrace window I can see the whole offer and with my camera I can detail what my eyes can't see from the height. That way I decide if it's worth going down. 😁
