Bargaining for Grilled Fish in The Market

I went to the morning market near my home to buy a grilled fish. Well, it's always to go to the market and take some photos there. I like the many colors of the market. I like looking at people buying, selling and bargaining there. But to be honest, I am not good at bargaining. My wife, on the other hand, is an expert in doing so.

My wife and I had to go to the market very early morning. It's about 4.30 AM when I stepped my feet on the road where sellers displayed their merchandise. Yup, part of the market was actually a public road which was closed for traffic until 8 AM.

Sometimes I wonder why the market start so early. There was a time when I arrived in the market 6 only to find most of the sellers have packed their belongings. We couldn't get to buy things we were looking for.

This morning my wife and I was going to buy grilled fish from a lady seller by the road. We bought from her few times before. There were some buyers who also competed to get the grill fish. With her expertise, my wife bought grilled fish and fish satay for about just below USD 2. That's after bargaining.

Bargaining can be viewed as an income. Let say, a seller asked for USD 2.1, and we could manage to pay for just USD 1.9. then the USD 0.2 could be regarded as an income. What do you think?

Happy New Year 2022 to you all 😍
