Today was really exciting because we resumed our group shopping after going for a break because of our convention program. So our local guide @beauty197 communicated with us via our WhatsApp group chat about shopping for today. Option was given as to which listed store we would like to shop and some chose @bokku-mart because of their low prices. Time was set for an evening shopping at 4:pm because of the busy schedule of many people in lagos. I also had to join in straight from work, glad I did anyway.
Yes bokku-mart has a very good price when compared to other stores, the only problem they have is limited stock. They don't sell most things and this makes it difficult to shop from there most times. Thank goodness that we have other listed stores we can also buy from which makes shopping experience encouraging and fun.
SHOPPING
The first store we went to was bokku-mart, we got only few items because they didn't have much to choose from, I couldn't get anything from there because they literally had nothing on my list. After transactions and paying with HBD, we left bokku-mart and went to @chiefomart where we got most of our items.
I personally enjoyed shopping at chiefomart today because they had everything I needed on my list, ranging from toiletries, to beverages and cosmetics, they had all I needed and in different products or brands. It was really exciting to shop at chiefomart and that's where I did my shopping today with 35HBD spent from me and adding the one from others amounted to 105HBD, isn't it huge and incredible? I had a very full basket of beverages, toiletries and a lot more, it was too heavy even to lift up the basket of food items worth 35hbd.
SHOPPING WITH NEW USERS
Two new registrations was done today and they were assisted to do their own transactions, pay with hbd and claim their discounts. One of the new user works at bokku-mart and when he saw me making payment with #hivedoller last week, he asked some questions which I answered and explained to him how the #hive platform operates and the benefits of participating in the Spendhbd project. He was excited to join in our group shopping as his friend who also works at bokku-mart and who is now part of hive platform has explained to him about the authenticity of the project. So he came around today and was registered by the local guide.

Another friend who has heard about hive but is always busy took the opportunity to get registered today because she's on leave from work, she was also signed up through the Spendhbd distriator app and also did her transaction and made payment wirh hbd, after which she claimed her discount.
New user @sandrai
A workshop was held where a briefing was done to explain how the platform works and it's benefit to us and others at large. A demonstration of how the transaction is carried out was done to help new users understand better and not to see the process as to difficult to handle or understand.
So we started our shopping at bokku-mart and completed it at chiefomart and I was really happy I made out time to support the group shopping.
We were a total of seven persons that made it for the group shopping and they all shopped what they really needed, and claimed their discounts happily.
They were;
@kachy2022
@emiliashley338
@nebytes2
@omachi213
@tega070
@sandrai
@realove24
They all shopped and went hope with smiling faces. Shopping today took longer than usual because of the network issues, but it didn't affect claimed discounts @distriator after making payment and I'm very happy that everyone got their discount.
CONCLUSION
I will never get tired of showing appreciation to #hive, #spendhbd and #distriator for this beautiful opportunity to shop and claim discounts in this turbulent times. Thank you so much for this project and for helping in improving people's lives through this project. I will continue to inform more people about hive and Spendhbd so that they can also be a part of the project, to benefit and also contribute their quota in supporting the platform. This is what i will never get tired of doing, the project is rewarding and I'm grateful. Thank you!
