*Life hacks are simple tricks or methods that help us do things faster, easier, or better in our everyday lives.* ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmcqAz5LwVUkeNNgcnB6MozzjQnatsok8JKPxHp7x1QhEZ/image.png) [source](https://pixabay.com/photos/market-china-people-man-smoker-186126/) *There are many life hacks I have adopted that make life easier for me and also help me avoid falling victim to human greed and unfaithfulness*. _{**Having more than one vendor for things**} *There was a time I preferred buying clothes from one particular vendor because I felt being a loyal customer would make her reduce prices for me, but I was wrong*. *Instead, she increased her prices because she knew I only bought from her and didn’t bother checking other vendors selling the same items*. *One day, I wanted to buy a shirt from her, and she priced it at ₦16,000. I found the price outrageous, so I didn’t buy it. I even lost interest in the shirt… until one day at the market, I saw the same shirt for ₦6,000*. *At that moment, I knew I had made the right decision not to buy from her. That was the last time I purchased anything from that vendor*. *She taught me a valuable lesson, which is to always compare prices instead of sticking to one vendor because the truth is, humans will remain humans*. *That vendor you think you are being loyal to might exploit you the moment they realize you depend only on them.* ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXYiVKC9hpkp4tTqoyV5MGhHmhPJkURtxsMKZoMBY1zoq/image.png) [source](https://pixabay.com/photos/rome-italy-city-europe-roman-4949673/) *Another life hack that has been saving me a lot of money is going to the main market instead of depending on street retailers.* *The way some people add all their life problems to the price of what they sell is alarming.* *They can buy something for ₦5,000 in the main market and sell it for ₦25,000—almost 5x profit. That’s too much!* *I recently bought a Badefu 8-in-1 blender for ₦47,000 at Alaba International Market. Later, while scrolling through TikTok and checking reviews, I saw someone selling the same blender for ₦85,000*. *And I had to ask myself, isn’t that profit too much for just one item*? *When I got to the market, I also saw Kenstar (the same brand I used before, though the coil got spoiled). When I asked for the price, the seller said ₦20,000.* *Meanwhile, I remember buying that same Kenstar blender for ₦43,000 in Shomolu two years ago. Normally, with how prices increase in Nigeria, it should be more expensive now, not cheaper*. *That was when it really clicked for me*. *Now, anytime I want to buy anything expensive, I go straight to the main market:* For electronics - Alaba International Market. For clothes - Balogun Market. *I have also heard about TradeFair market, though I haven’t been there yet, but I plan to go soon*. *At the end of the day, if you are not careful, people will keep using your head.*
