Past: 100 EGP fills up trolley’s supermarket

 

Prices so terrifying at Supermarket

“What is this with 120 pounds,” a yelling woman breathed when she was at the cashier to buy some deodorant sprays. 

 “Maam, Nivea one is 48 L.E. while the Dove is 120 Pounds,” the cashier girl responded.

 “No, remove this 120 EGP spray. It isn’t worth it. In the past I would buy two sprays for 50 pounds only!” the woman unbelievingly staring out her eyes said it. 

 “We in return pay more than half the amount you pay, Madam,” a rough deep voice of a man burst into the neigh. He is the market manager who checks out the products on the shelves with their latest prices after they are unveiled from the porting truck. “Unfortunately, this price dilemma isn’t departing anyone in the entire loop.” “We all pay not only the customer,” he continued. 

 Though the screen price detector is attached to each corner of the market, it seems the woman’s conscious mind won’t conclude the high jump of the spray price to exceed 100 pounds after the third-pound floatation that occurred in the first couple of days of the new year. It can’t be denied that there is a long queue to these screens rather than cashiers now. 

 Most purchasers are carrying baskets while the trolley is for heavy items or those who can’t carry a basket and move for a time. Trolleys aren’t packed like sardines before. Needers are tending to pitch one to two packets only. Instead of obtaining a 30-egg cartoon pike, now it is calculated within five to six ones to buy. In addition, many markets started to sort down the quantity bought of some supply necessities such as rice, oil bottle, and sugar. In a command, no more than two sacks, and for the oil, no more than one! 

 It might be for a good purpose to curb down people’s over-purchasing as if they are about to open a market.! 

 The fifty-pound paper can’t wrap more than one item purchase like before. Biscuits have reached five instead of only two one-paper pounds. Bonbon and chewing gums aren’t half as before. They started to go over the one pound. 

 It seems we would say goodbye to the 50 Pt like its bloodline 25 Pt which has evaded since its masters’ first flotation in 2016.! 

100 L.E fills up a trolley

 Going through the memories of visiting the open vendor, “Supermarket”, if exceeding 100 pounds for buying basic cheese and egg for a home, then it is extravagant. A whole 24-packet of MORO chocolate was worth 30 pounds. Mothers would insert a sweet one easily beside day-to-day school sandwiches. A jumbo Chipsy was five pounds. Its ad to shout out for its price was really an effort.! 

 Paper 100 would buy at least two big sacks of all the drooling needs. A more 50 paper would contain any sweety extras. 

 Now the golden Nescafe is worth the amount of three big sacks in the past! Past hasn’t witnessed a queue of price detectors at the supermarket as much as today. 

 For a future guess hit, would a credit card/Visa be needed for over 500 market purchases? Would the market purchase rise to over 1,000 pounds like some “Asian countries” labiating the 100 as a coined banknote instead of ONE?
