My 5 Cheeky Market Rules

by Margot Hale, 58

Honey, I followed that peach man around the corner like any sensible wife would.

The market taught me these five cheeky rules the fun way.

  1. Wink once at the peaches. He handed over the juiciest ones free. My husband still thinks I paid cash at the stall.
  2. Stay married not blind. I looked. I winked. Then I asked which way he went. Rules are rules.
  3. Ask where he headed. Turns out the peach man sells apples two rows over. Perfect for my next shopping trip.
  4. Keep the wink light. One quick flutter gets you fruit. Two flutters and my exes would have started asking questions.
  5. Hide the free peaches. I slipped them in my bag before my husband saw. He thinks I just had a lucky bargain day.

Some market secrets stay sweeter that way.
