A college student's Market experience

Hello #marketfriday Hivers!🤗
This is my very first time to post here on this community which is hosted by Ms.Denise @dswiggle. I learned of this community from my mom @jurich60 and a fellow hiver @leeart. There are so many communities here in hive that I have yet to know about.🤭
This is very timely that I came across this community because I will share my son's first market experience as an independent college student living far away from us.
My son is my only child who came out seven years after we got married. We never had the opportunity to have another one. My husband and I really wanted to have another perhaps a daughter so our son won't be alone but I think now we are way passed that already. I am turning 48 now this March and my hubby will turn 52 this September so I think it's already late for us to have another child if ever there is a chance. Our gray hair are already showing specially hubby's so having one people would think the child is our grandchild plus we feel lots of squeaks all over our bodies too... haha!
Anyways, since my son is the only one I do all the marketing for us ever since. Sometimes I let him go with me just so he knows what real life is really all about. It's not just sitting on the table and waiting for the food to be served. I want him to see where his food comes from mostly during the farmers market day but that was when he was in his elementary days. When he was in high school, his studies comes first so he rarely goes with me when I do some marketing.
He has been away from us since August last year, he is studying in the highlands of Baguio city, the home town of @leeart. The city is really perfect and conducive for learning plus there are good universities in Baguio city compared to Manila which is really a rally everyday.
When he got there he often buys food mostly in the big malls and in the fast food chains which is really very costly. Prices of commodities there up in the highlands is really more expensive compared to us here in the plains.
Earlier today, like 5am hubby and I were awakened to the ringing of my phone. My son was calling me via messenger when I answered it I was really surprised because he was already in the market buying vegetables and meat and other stuff that he needs! I told him, are you okay?? This is not you! Haha. It's a video call so we can see him roaming around the market buying stuff. For a mom I was really so happy that my son is now a grown-up and he said he was already fed up with the meals in KFC, McDonald's, our local brands like Jollibee and Mang Inasal, Chowking among others. He said he wanted to cook his own meals so he can save some money on his allowance. Me and hubby were both looking at each other dumbfounded... Haha. He was asking what other vegetables can he cook as omelettes.
He said he was looking at YouTube for some economical and easy to prepare meals that is under his budget as a student.
I told him to send me some photos of the things that he bought.

He even made a photo shoot of his vegetables and other stuff he bought because I told him I will make a blog out of his experience, so he happily obliged and here is his food photography. His models, presenting two trays of eggs, onions, garlic. He even bought a can opener and an egg beater. He bought some smoked fish too but he forgot to send me the photos of it. He said I was in a hurry Mama because today, February 24 is our second day of our prelims exam. That's why I went to the market past 4am. Omg!
My husband now said, what happened to you son? Have you eaten something? Why out of the blue you are there very early in the market and already doing some marketing?!!are you sick or something?😄😄🤭

He showed us the place where coffee beans can be bought and that this is the place where coffee shop owners go to for their coffee.
He said he wants to try how to make his own coffee because the weather in the highlands is really cold and sipping a hot cup of coffee or chocolate drink is really very comforting.

This is the smile of a very proud mom and who just woke up from sleep, no combing needed just raw photoshoot full of happiness.. haha

This ends my post now. Hope you had fun reading my interesting post.
See you on my next post.

Have a great weekend everyone!
