Greetings to @sduttaskitchen. I must be sincere your post are worth life-changing. Thanks for bringing this up here. I'm glad to participate and I wish to invite others too like @bossj23, @eglis and @basil20 to participate.
Before I proceed further I would love to express myself towards: quality and quantity. It's preferable in whatever thing you're doing to chase quality and not quantity.
Quantity according to it own belongings has been compressed to a mono-word denoted as amount while quality on the other hand is known to becoming an amount for excellence. We can recall this effects from logistics companies all over the world who still have this integral values, and so irrespective of the economical problems—their visions aims at producing quality products and services for their customers.
Let me tell you a story as concerning this effects:
There was a production center where they sell a pineapple fruit drink, they made progress as they sold this drinks to consumers, and they made a lot of profit. A time came when there was inflation and the cost of production and even materials of production increased. So they decided to reduce the quality of the pineapple drink so as to balance it with the economy.
During this process, they do not have competitors, so they decided to increase quantity and reduce quality, so consumers were not satisfied with this new drink, they began to compare the former and current pineapple drink in their mind and also the taste, and then this gave opportunity to competition; so another pineapple drink was produced by different set of people—they decided to increase the quality of the drink and reduce quantity, so they were successful and also made a lot of profit than the initial pineapple drink producer, and won the taste of consumers.
The result of producing quality than quantity even in any situation will make you successful for not compromising your goods. It's necessary to consume quality rather than quantity, because it offers you the best in consumption.
It is understandable that quality and quantity *do not come at once, but it is important to go for quality rather than quantity.
Majorly, I would say this is an average Nigerian woman lifestyle. I have a mother—even though am a clone product of that mother. Her strategy when it comes to bargaining while shopping can be annulled if there's a better way out. And we, the Nigerians, we know the platform called Nigeria—how retailers punish consumers for slicing their fixed price.
From the statistics of how tough things are in Nigeria, it's very true shopping without bargaining* is a disgrace. An average human suppose to bargain. So when you begin to dance to whatever the marketers says, it means you're 99% insupport of everyday inflation which can be dealed with if the parastatals are considerate.
There are situation where quantify are definite and there are situations where quality supersedes. Now let me explain:
What is soup?
Soup is any liquid substance that transport Fufu or GARRI from the mouth to the stomach 🤣🤣.
Under this definition, there are situations were things are difficult and it doesn't call for quality. Bro, manage quantity. Get pepper, onions, and maggi, prepare something delicious. It's not mandatory you must use chicken and meats or big smoke fish..
Follow the adage: manage the one you have. This is mainly for quantitative users.
In summary of everything, QUALITY is the best.
Quantity things gives you quality result.....
