LIFE : GROCER-ON-THE WHEEL

Grocer on the wheel are part and parcel of our modern society. They provide a valuable service to resident in housing estates by bringing groceries right to the resident's doorsteps. The grocer on wheel mostly operates by one man show and come to the housing estate in the morning everday, rain or shine, workday or holiday.

They stocks an incredible amount and variety of basic groceries in their van. Most essential item can be bought from the van- salt, sugar, vegies, fish, chicken and other items that an ordinary housewife needs. Mostly cost slighty more than what we can get at the market but this is understandable as they have van to maintain. Despite higher prices and limited goods, buying groceries from them saves the trouble of having to go all the way to town just to buy the same things. For few items, it is actually more economical to buy from them. It is only when we need to buy larger amount that we go to town specially at Hypermarkets that grow like a mushroom.
