I would like to talk about a person who is from my extended family. He’s just a relative but I think he has an interesting personality on this topic which is related to him. His name is Shakir and he’s kind of my uncle. He likes to buy almost everything at low prices. I remember that when I was a kid he was taking me to the market and I was watching him bargaining with the salesperson. As I said he buys almost everything at low prices. I mean it because when he do grocery shopping especially, he chooses special markets or fairs that have a discount on that time. If there is no discount in the supermarket he doesn’t go there. I think he has favorite markets for that near his house. But I have never seen him buy new clothes or shoes etc. He even buys outfits from second hand stores. He has this kind of personality trait that I think related to his childhood memories or traumas etc. because he had a really challenging childhood memory. So I think it’s related to that because there is no other explanation to behave like this.
