4,393,000 Cedis for food. Holy Moly!
You can just imagine the shock on my face when the lady in the market announced that she wanted several million cedis for our rice, tomato paste, biscuits, mackerel, sardines, oil, etc. I know food is expensive but this is beyond imagination. Then it dawned on me. This lady has not accepted the new (almost…
