A weekend of shopping with my family, to escape the routine.

Hello! Good night friends of #Hive and colleagues from #WEEKENDEXPERIENCES, I hope everyone here is healthy, happy and enthusiastic. With this post I enter this great community for the first time, the truth is that I need to tell you about all the good things that happened to me this weekend when I was shopping at the mall accompanied by my husband, my sister and my son Santiago. This type of recreation is extremely pleasant, but we must also have monetary resources to be able to cost us some tastes and those of our relatives, that is why we enjoy these few moments to the fullest and try to make sure that our little son also adapts to this style. of life, since we arrived from the countryside to the concrete jungle and here life is more accelerated and the physical exhaustion resulting from daily work deserves to be rewarded. Of course, we also thank #hive for financing us sometimes and for making us a small reserve of savings, which we can sometimes have for these outings.

Before leaving home we made a small inventory of the things we were going to buy and also of some tastes that we were going to allow ourselves, such as having some ice creams and eating some fries with broaster chicken that our son likes to eat so much. Obviously, we have our financial limitations and other expenses to cover, so it was necessary to know what things we were going to require and that they would adapt to our real budget. We must do this because we live in Venezuela, a country with a super volatile economy and here money is never enough, with a super devalued currency and also with the high costs of articles and products, it is necessary to devise a purchase plan not compulsory if at the end of the month you want to pay for the basic services of your home, including rent and other necessary expenses.

So, the four of us arrived at one of the most recognized shopping centers in the city of Cumaná, it was not the first time that we were walking in this shopping center, but whenever it came to it, I was carried away by its majesty and how well cared that each of its areas are located, even this shopping center has air conditioning in all its levels, which is ideal because this city is very hot.

Our first stop was in search of some shoes for our little son Santiago, we wanted to buy him some booties and for our baby to choose the model that he wanted. It is always a joy for my husband and for me to be able to observe that little face, with those bright eyes of our little son when he knows that he is going to be given a gift, and as a very good boy he participates. On this occasion our little boy chose his own booties from a local brand, which were discounted and valued at $26USD, but with the discount we were able to buy them for $10USD, after going through the checkout and making the HBD change. to our local currency (the bolivar) making its relationship in US dollars, we were able to buy Santiago his shoes, our son was so happy that he immediately asked to put on his new shoes and walk with them around the mall.

Our next stop was in search of some clothing and underwear. The truth is, at this moment we were a little disconcerted by the cost of some pieces of underwear, quite high prices and far from our budget. However, Santiago continued to enjoy this walk and found a bucket full of soccer balls and entertained himself with them for a while, while my sister, my husband and I supervised him very closely, and in turn checked some clothes. Santiago's attitude was the best, he met a child and also began to play and socialize with this fellow who was also shopping with his parents. For a moment I thought that he might throw a tantrum for wanting to take home one of the balls and it was totally different, when we told him that we were leaving the store, he said goodbye with a big greeting from the other boy and continued as if nothing had happened, leaving behind the soccer balls.

We made a stop to cool off and also to eat the fries with the broaster chicken promised to Santiago, we always enjoy watching our little one eat and his aunt made a face for him and put his favorite series on his mobile device "read and pop" to keep him entertained while the long-awaited fries arrived. While we ate we could appreciate how lucky we are to have our son with us, to be able to spend these moments with the family and to be able to consume the food that was brought to our table, so after blessing the food, having some soft drinks and eating some sweets, we headed to the next stop, the supermarket.

In the supermarket we were able to buy some items at good prices that we needed in our home, the truth is that this day was very satisfying because we were all happy to have spent a pleasant walk with the best company in the world, ourselves, our family and also to be able to buy and make good purchases without leaving our initial budget. It is better that this time is quality leisure time, which is necessary for our son Santiago and our family to adapt to this new city. Without a doubt, my family and I would go shopping at the mall again, as long as our accounts allow it.
