When I first saw this topic, the first person that brings to mind is my grandmother. She is the one who has knack for buying stuff at a much lower price. Before retirement, she had been working as a food seller in the bull market. And that experience has left an advantage of maintaining a close-knit relationship with other sellers in the market. Every day, she often wakes up at the crack of door to make sure that she would be the first one in the line who could buy the freshest ingredients at a cheap price. She is so excellent in bargaining and actually she really enjoys doing so. For some people, they may find it uncomfortable and unnecessary to bargain. But to her, bargaining is like a joyful hobby. In her words, she often says, every day is a fight and she enjoys every minute of competitive things with other customers as well as other sellers to pay a debt. She is the one who is willing to spend the lowest price for the most valuable product.

Before retirement, she worked as a food seller in the bull market. That experience gave her the advantage of maintaining a close-knit relationship with other sellers in the market.
