Betterlife - The Diary Game | 23 February, 2025 | A day at the wholesale Market...

Assalamu Alaikum friends, I hope you are all having a great time on the platform. For the past few years, I have been regularly consuming dry foods, which are very beneficial for our body. Unfortunately, these are not very available in our local fruit shops. I had planned to buy several types of dry foods together.

After breakfast this morning, I decided to go to Chittagong's largest wholesale market Riazuddin Bazaar to buy my necessary supplies. It is located quite far from my local area in the city, so after a long journey by public transport I finally reached there.

The market scene in the morning was as expected and there is almost no item that cannot be found in this market. Most city peoples do their grocery shopping, including fresh vegetables from here. I will publish another blog about the wholesale market of Riazuddin Bazaar.

Anyway, I entered the market through the alleys. There were many sections but my shopping was from the fruit wholesale market. So, I headed towards the fruit shops and almost all the shops had all the necessary dry fruits.

I asked the shopkeeper to give me the items according to my needs and he started packing them after measuring them on the scale. Basically, I bought the following items for the next few days:

Iteams	Quantity	Price STEEM	Price USD
Almonds	200 gm	11.9 STEEM	1.81 USD
Pumpkin Seed	200 gm	8.13 STEEM	1.23 USD
Cashew	150 gm	12.48 STEEM	1.89 USD
Chia Seed	250 gm	8.6 STEEM	1.36 USD
Raisin	150 gm	5.4 STEEM	0.82 USD
Dates	500 gm	13.5 STEEM	2.06 USD

^{1 STEEM = 18.41 Bangladeshi Taka}

Among these items two or three, such as almonds, cashews and raisins are also available in our local market but they are more expensive and buying in small quantities makes them even more costly. By coming to Riazuddin Bazar, I was able to buy my supplies at a fair price.

My shopping consisted of these few items. Although traveling so far for these few purchases might not make sense to many, I have no problem with it because I am getting real market experience and quality products at the right price.

Moving a little further, I saw a small food shop in front of me where various fried snacks were being sold. I ordered a samosa and a jilapi for myself. The jilapi was quite juicy and delicious.

After paying the bill, I did not delay and returned home by public transport. Although I had come here very early in the morning, the morning time was over with just this little shopping.

In the afternoon, when I was at home, my sister came to me to solve a problem with her phone. My little nephew had turned on the custom recovery mode by pressing random buttons and I restored it to its previous state by watching a tutorial.

I went out for a while in the afternoon and offered my evening prayers at the local mosque on my way back. Then I returned home and sat down for evening snacks. A neighbor had sent us biryani.

Sharing anything with neighbors pleases the Almighty. I have always seen my mother share any special food prepared at home with the neighbors and they also share with us. I took a small bowl of biryani for myself.

I spent the night at home. I offered my night prayers on time and had dinner. Before going to sleep, I completed my special prayers and then went to sleep. As of today I'm leaving here. Wish you all good health, everyone.
