IAmAliveChallenge / Sunday: Shopping with my brother

in GEMS3 years ago

Cuando la vida nos da la oportunidad de levantarnos con energía para cumplir con las actividades que tenemos programadas, es una gran bendición, la vida no se ha paralizado por la cuarentena, la gran mayoría tenemos que comprar nuestros alimentos y muchas veces tenemos que ir a varios locales para encontrar los mejores precios, es imposible quedarse en casa encerrados, quizás algunos lo puedan hacer y puedan comprar todo por servicio delivery, pero no todos tenemos la capacidad monetaria para hacerlo.

When life gives us the opportunity to get up with energy to meet the activities we have scheduled, it is a great blessing, life has not been paralyzed by the quarantine, the vast majority we have to buy our food and often have to go to several stores to find the best prices, it is impossible to stay at home locked up, maybe some can do it and can buy everything by delivery service, but not everyone has the monetary capacity to do so.

With my wife shopping

En casa nos planificamos para hacer pocas salidas y cuando lo hacemos buscamos rendir el tiempo y el uso del vehículo, por el tema de la gasolina, que se encuentra a precio internacional de 0,5 dólar por litro, quizás en otros países es un precio normal, pero en mi país es nuevo, aunque existen estaciones de combustible que expenden a precio subsidiado, lograr comprar allí requiere muchas veces pasar de dos a tres días durmiendo en colas en los alrededores de la estación, una verdadera odisea. Por lo complicado que es obtener la gasolina económica, tenemos que optimizar el uso del vehículo, muchas diligencias las hacemos caminando, cuando no amerita cargar mucho peso y no son caminatas superiores a dos horas.

At home we plan to make few trips and when we do we try to save time and use of the vehicle, because of the issue of gasoline, which is at an international price of 0.5 dollar per liter, perhaps in other countries is a normal price, but in my country it is new, although there are fuel stations that dispense at subsidized prices, to buy there often requires spending two to three days sleeping in queues around the station, a real odyssey. Because of how complicated it is to obtain cheap gasoline, we have to optimize the use of the vehicle, many errands we do on foot, when it does not require carrying much weight and are not more than two hours.

Como evitamos llevar a nuestros hijos a hacer compras, los dejamos en casa de mi amada madre y allí se suma a la salida mi hermano, quien aprovecha para hacer compras también. En esta oportunidad mi hermano había revisado los precios el día anterior y sabía dónde ir y la mejor opción, que era comprar por paca los productos y entre los dos compramos papel higiénico y harina de trigo bajo esta modalidad. Aunque no teníamos pensado comprar esas cantidades nos pareció una excelente oportunidad para ahorrar.

As we avoid taking our children shopping, we leave them at my beloved mother's house and there my brother joins us, who takes the opportunity to do some shopping as well. This time my brother had checked the prices the day before and knew where to go and the best option, which was to buy the products by the bale and between the two of us we bought toilet paper and wheat flour under this modality. Although we did not plan to buy those quantities, it seemed to us an excellent opportunity to save.

En nuestro país está ocurriendo un fenómeno con los comerciantes que ahora tienen varios precios en los productos aunque están expresados en dólares, si pagas con dólares en billetes el precio es el marcado, si pagas por punto de venta te reciben el pago con un aumento sobre el tipo de cambio del día, toda una locura. Lo importante es que rendimos el dinero y compramos productos necesarios. Definitivamente, a pesar de la situación particular que vivimos, siempre buscamos las formas de seguir adelante y mantener nuestra calidad de vida.

Es maravilloso cerrar el día con la alegría de haber logrado nuestros objetivos y haber disfrutado en familia.

Siempre lo que pasa es lo mejor y Dios sabe lo que hace

In our country a phenomenon is happening with the merchants that now have several prices in the products although they are expressed in dollars, if you pay with dollars in bills the price is the marked one, if you pay by point of sale you receive the payment with an increase on the exchange rate of the day, all a madness. The important thing is that we make the money and buy the necessary products. Definitely, despite the particular situation we live in, we always look for ways to move forward and maintain our quality of life.
It is wonderful to close the day with the joy of having achieved our goals and having enjoyed ourselves as a family.
Always what happens is for the best and God knows what he does

Feliz 2021

No es fácil perseguir nuestros sueños, pero es imposible si no damos el primer paso.

A soñar y a trabajar…

Estar vivo, es disfrutar la vida en familia.
Unidos en familia es el mejor motor para salir adelante en la vida.

It is not easy to pursue our dreams, but it is impossible if we do not take the first step.
To dream and to work...
To be alive is to enjoy family life.
United as a family is the best engine to succeed in life.

Estimados lectores, agradecido con su valiosa visita y sus comentarios en mis publicaciones, ustedes alimentan y activan mi motivación para escribir, cada día es un motivo para agradecer a Dios por tantas bendiciones. Felicidad siempre

@marinmex - It is a great idea to do your shopping by walking instead of using vehicle that is save for money and promote healthy fit. Moreover, I respect you thought of not taking your kids along while out for shopping. As the pandemic is everywhere, it is better to avoid and limit you and your kid of going out that will cause you a high risk of infection. Have a great day. Be healthy, safe and strong.
