Check Out The Best Ways To Save Your Money When Shopping Abroad

There are so many markets, bazaars and expansive malls for anyone who loves to shop at your destination. So, whether you’re looking to buy souvenirs or groceries, you can easily walk into any of the aforementioned places to make your purchases. This said, there are circumstances whereby you visit a market or departmental store and the attendant is quoting a completely different price for you because he/she has observed that you are a new in the town.

Below are some tips on how to shop like a local to get the best bargain without losing.

(1). Haggle for the price you want to pay.
Never accept the initial price you are offered. You should always negotiate. If the seller goes high with the price, go extremely low with and eventually both of you will be able to meet somewhere in the middle

(2).Trust your instincts.
This is something not to just consider while shopping, but generally while out there. You will likely encounter those trying to sweet talk you into buying a particular item. But, if you feel unsure or think it sounds too good to be true, it is advisable you abandon such an item.

(3). Don’t buy on impulse.
Buying something that you did not include in your purchase list may make it difficult to bargain. This is because your preference for what you are buying on impulse may make it impossible for you to negotiate. You simply accept whatever quoted price. At the same time, you should not show too much enthusiasm for anything you want, it will just make it harder to bring down the price.

(3). Plan your shopping trip in the afternoon for the best bargains.
The time of the day is important to save money on shopping. Most likely, the market will be filled out in the afternoon and as such you will have so many places to make your purchases. So do not go too early or too late.

(4). Shop with a local.
The ultimate way to go when you find yourself in a new city or town is to shop with a local. Hence, rather than bargaining yourself, he/she will do the bargain on your behalf and get the best possible price for you.

(5). Simply shop online.
If you do not want to go through the stress of going to the market or mall, you can simply shop online. It is convenient because your groceries or items will be delivered at your doorstep.

Another One?, Police Hardly Hit Innocent Man, Leaving Him Unconscious (Photos)

The man lying on the roadside, a Doctor, was hit on the head with a hard object by a Policeman, and this is according to eyewitness report with pictures.

As shared by Clara Jancita...

'I'm so angry right now. This inhumane act was meted out to my family friends last weekend. I copied this text from his facebook wall. Abel Akanbi is the younger brother of the main victim....

The brother wrote: "I don't think there is any iota of dignity or sanity left in the system of these black uniformed people. We were returning to Ibadan from the RCCG Camp all night program, about 08:00am, we were stopped by some armed Nigeria police officers at the front of the DOMINION UNIVERSITY PERMANENT SITE near Ibadan.

Without any offense this anonymous police officer hit my elder brother (a medical doctor) with a device known to the officer on his face, he cooked his gun ready to shoot as if he just apprehended armed bandits.

I saw my elder brother slummed immediately and we were all over him trying to revive him. For quite sometime, I saw my elder brother lying almost lifeless on the expressway, without any offense committed by him.

I therefore demand from the police authority to fish out these hoodlums in police uniform with immediate effect. They were all wearing reflective jackets so, we couldn't get their Numbers, (Names of Officers seen were ANTHONY who led the team and one FOLORUNSHO) they came in a black unbranded Toyota hilux van and a white bus with registration number EPE-823-DR.

All of them ran away from the scene of the incident some went into the premises of the DOMINION UNIVERSITY and others went away in the vehicles when they discovered we were trying to make contact with higher authorities.

While our lawyer is putting the details together, I want to appeal to all well meaning Nigerians to help share and re-share this message until it gets to the Inspector General of police for action.

This must not be swept under carpet, it's someone's turn today, who knows who's next?

Where Nigeria is going now, only God can save us.. This is too bad.

At least 80 High-end Google Pixel 'customised' phones with Jio SIMs have been given to top bureaucrats on a 'trial' basis to ensure secure communication among them, according to a source in the IT ministry.

The home ministry had drawn up a list of 100 officials from multiple ministries for the purpose, and 80 of these devices have been handed out so far, the source said.

The balance 20 units are in the pipeline, he added.

The project is at a 'pilot' stage and the sample distribution is for measuring the performance and security of the device.

The Google Pixel phones were found to be compliant with the specifications given by the home ministry, and the 'customisation' of the 4G phones was undertaken by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) and Electronics Corporation of India Ltd (ECIL).

A home ministry official said that while the handset and the telecom service provider are important elements of security, the critical aspect is the application on which the communication — both voice and data — is based.

"If that and the application server are secured, encrypted and appropriately certified, the security issues can be broadly addressed," the official said.
