Quaker Oats is one of the oldest packaged foods I know. I started hearing about it when i was small. This whole grain oat meal is easy to prepare and enjoy. You need hot water to get it ready. You can enjoy it in combination with other foods such as soup. You can see the price tag here for this big pack - NGN10500 (87.5 Steem)
2. Grenada

You will need to taste this biscuit to appreciate the quality. I enjoyed it the lst time I bought it. It has a creamy taste, and not too sweet. It is made of whole grain and baked in round shapes. For me, the price is very fine at NGN1100 (9.1 Steem)
3. Kellogg's Corn Flakes

Corn Flakes is a popular breakfast in Nigeria.I remember when I was serving in Enugu in 2015, I always had cornflakes. I have taken this particular product from Kellogg. The taste is rich anyway, although I prefer the product from InfinitiCereals. I will buy that one in fact. Both of them have the same price of NGN850 (7 Steem)
4. Emborg Skimmed Milk

You know that skimmed milk contains almost 0% fat. So if you wish to enjoy your milk without the fat, then this product from Emborg will serve you right. I have not tasted this particular sample, but skimmed milk is always great for consumption. the price of this one is NGN650 (5.4 Steem)
5. Cream Crackers

The main reason I buy cream crackers is the low sugar content. I like to eat it after meals when I need something to keep my mouth busy. This Cracker above is the 350g size. Of course, there are bigger sizes. The one is priced at at NGN550 (4.5 Steem)
6. Raisin and Almond granula

This product is a powerful combination of raisin and almond fruit. You enjoy it dried. I was running out of cash, I could have bought it. A friend recommended that I try it. He assured me that i would love the taste. But that would be on another visit. The price of this product is NGN1200 (10 Steem)
7. Rolled oats

Another oats meal I found as I walked around. This one is packaged in tins. I love this because it will be air-tight until the food is exhausted unlike the other onces in waterproof packaging. The price of this as you can see is NGN4100 (34.1 Steem)

Royal Supermarket is really a standard place to shop for the things you need. I want to do a rating of this business based on 5 criteria
1. Accessibility: EXCELLENT. I gave it excellent because it is located at Aba-owerri Road, a major road leading to many other places in Aba city. the road even leads to other cities outside Abia State. So this business is readily accessible.
2. Mall Facility: EXCELLENT. Royal Supermarket has excellent facilities for their business. The packing space is enough to contain up to 10 vehicles. There are also spaces outside to pack. The mall is in 3 floors. All the goods are nicely displayed and price tagged. Security is standby, and cashout is fast. I rate them excellent here.
3. Quality of Goods: EXCELLENT. I have net shopped regularly here. But, the few times I came, I got quality products. The goods are also in great condition.
4. Customer care: Very friendly customer care. Always smiling and polite. they have great customer care
5. Pricing: EXCELLENT. The pricing of the goods is similar to what i found in Market square. There is not much difference too with what you will see in shops along the streets. So the pricing of the goods are really competitive.
