"Dear Steemian friends! I Hope everyone is well. By the grace of God, I am also very well. Welcome to my 'Diary Game'. Today I will share my monthly shopping experience for my home and some wonderful moments. So let's get started -------

The day was Friday the 7th. Since it was a holiday, I woke up at 10 am, freshened up, and went to the local market with my mother to do my monthly shopping. I first headed to the fish market with my mother. Since it is Ramadan and today is a holiday, the morning market is a little different. People come to shop after fasting, so there is a calm atmosphere in the market. Upon entering the market, the first thing I noticed was the arrangement of various types of fish sellers. Starting from Hilsa, Rui, Katla, Pabda, Shing, Pangash, Tengramach, Tilapia, and shrimp, various types of fish were arranged in rows. Since it is Ramadan, the prices of some fish have increased a bit. However, I was satisfied with the variety of fresh fish.

Then I went around the fish market and bought several types of fish. And the prices of the fish I bought from the fish market are given below.

Sl. No.	Fish Name	Quantity	BDT Price	Steem Price
1	Tilapia fish,	4 Kg	960	57.35
2	Shrimp fish,	1 kg	800	47.80
3	Pabda fish,	3 kg	900	53.80
4	Coconut fish,	2 Kg	400	23.90
5	Pangasius fish,	5 Kg	1000	59.75

After buying fish from the fish market, I went to a well-known chicken shop in the market. I bought broiler chicken and cock chicken from there. The chickens in the shop are quite good in weight and the chickens are cut and cleaned very well. Unlike other sellers, they did not charge us too much. The price of chicken is given below:-

Sl. No.	Vegetables	Quantity	BDT Price	Steem Price
1	Broiler chickens.	5 Kg	1000	59.75
2	Pakistani cock chickens.	3 Kg	900	53.80

After buying the chicken, while leaving the market, I looked at the vegetable market and saw some fresh vegetables. I bought some cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, lemons, and coriander leaves. The prices of the vegetables we bought are given below.

Sl. No.	Vegetable Name	Quantity	BDT Price	Steem Price
1	Cucumbers,	1 Kg	40	2.40
2	Tomatoes,	2 kg	80	4.80
3	Pumpkin,	1 kg	100	5.95
4	Coriander leaves,	500 gm	20	1.20
5	Eggplants,	1 kg	80	4.80
6	lemons,	8 Pcs	120	7.15

Watermelon on a hot day and dates during Ramadan, both are symbols of comfort. Seeing watermelons arranged in rows on a van on the side of the road filled my heart. Especially seeing red watermelons makes my mouth water. There is a special fun in bargaining when buying watermelons from the van. I like to bargain by looking at the size of the watermelon. Now that it is the month of Ramadan, the price of watermelons is a little higher. So I talked to the shopkeeper and chose a good watermelon. After buying watermelons, I saw different types of dates at a nearby date shop.

During Ramadan, a variety of dates can be seen in the date shop. The dates from different countries look very beautiful. The sweet smell and soft texture of dates calms the mind. It is nice to be able to buy good quality dates for iftar. Then I bought some good quality dates from the date shop.

Sl. No.	Item Name	Quantity	BDT Price	Steem Price
1	Watermelon	1 pcs	300	17.70
2	Dates	1 Kg	300	17.70

First, the smell of fresh fish at the fish market, the bargaining and the shouts of fish sellers create a festive atmosphere. The joy of choosing the fish of your choice is different. Then, the eyes are dazzled by the variety of colorful vegetables at the vegetable market. A sense of satisfaction comes to mind while choosing fresh vegetables. Then, when buying watermelon and dates from the van, the memory of cold watermelon slices and sweet dates on a hot day fills the mind. The joy of choosing a good thing by bargaining is different.

Finally, when going to a familiar grocery store in the market and buying daily necessities like rice, pulses, oil, spices and more, it feels like you have bought everything you need for your family. When the bags are full at the end of shopping, a sense of peace comes to your mind. All in all, the experience of shopping is quite mixed. On one hand, there is the fatigue and the pressure of the crowd, on the other hand, there is the joy of buying fresh items and the satisfaction of getting everything you need for your family. I returned home after shopping for the entire month from the market. The prices of all the items from the grocery store were given below.
