Since today is the start of my rest day. After our breakfast, my wife and decide to take a bus ride to buy some kilos of pork, eggs, sweets, bread, etc in a place which foods are too low in budget. Although, we have a market nearby, about less than a kilometer, I said to my wife, let's go to the market with about 10 kilometers ahead in which all good are up to 50% much cheaper to the goods in our nearby market. No need to worry about gasoline or fare hike because, were going to ride a free bus ride back and forth. The goods we bought will be good in a week. We've gone there for about 2 hours. As of this writing, I'm already at bed, prepare myself for an hour or two hours nap to gain strength. And later will be thinking my next thing to do to enjoy my rest day. Good morning/ good afternoon/ good evening/ goodnight.

Even if the price of gasoline if you buy a lot of food it is worth paying 50% less.

@LadyDuck Yes that's because of inflation. I don't know how to control the inflation.

Yes. Considering there's no free bus ride and going to pay the price of the gasoline but the goods are 50% less. I'm good with that.

That's a good use of time. We also do that and buy vegetables and fruits from a weekly market where the rates are lower than the daily market near our home.

Yes. I said to my wife once we have extra budget even if the distance is too far, we need to go there to save money.

Hey, if the bus ride was free...I would be doing that too! That looks like a nice market as well.

Yes. You got it right. I don't know when the free bus ride will last.

Take full advantage of it. After all a penny saved is a penny earned.

I am just stuck on free bus ride. America is getting lapped on its lack of just be a human. Glad all worked out if you so tired. I miss being tired for good things. Sleep well my friend.

50% is definitely worth the extra distance. Have a good weekend.
