It happened that this morning, while trying to check my kitchen on some things to restock  , I noticed that my onions have finished 

I Normally buy, from those Aboki.. like one hand or half. ( that's the term we use here, I think one hand is about 30 pieces ,or 32, while half is 15 pieces,,  depending on the size of the onions,, price of it varies )

So while coming back from where I went to.. I noticed I have only 200 hundred left and I needed to buy small onions, Incase of urgent cooking 

So I saw where they displayed each of the onions , he showed me the ones of 200 and it was very tiny.. 

This one i bought, was #300,  two  for #500.

But I have only 200 naira. I have to price him to give me for 200 naira and said,
