👗 Fashion Floor Frustrations: • Only 3 women's boutiques stuck in 2010s fashion • Overzealous sales staff pushing "one-of-a-kind" pieces (petite-friendly, plus-size nightmare) • Vs. SuperU's Kiabi: 1/3 cheaper with triple the selection 🛒 Carrefour Survival Shopping Guide: Item Price (XAF) Insider Tip Red Bananas 1,500/bunch 30% sweeter than yellow Mini Cauliflower 2,500/head iPhone-sized diameter Cassava Root 800/root Local aunties teach peeling tricks 🌱 Agricultural Insights: Veggie shrinkage: Low soil phosphate + heirloom varieties Banana exception: Volcanic soil grows sweeter red bananas 💡 Hard-Won Advice: • For clothes: Just go to SuperU • Always carry cash (card readers chronically down) • Wednesdays = restock day = best selection #DoualaSurvivalGuide #AfricanRetailTherapy #PetiteProduceProblems #FailedShoppingSpree
