bargain hunters looking for bargains

Despite two years of absence linked to Covid-19, the Lille (North) sale has not lost its essence. Bargain hunters always do good business in the northern streets and find what they need there. “We were waiting for the crush, we got it”rejoices a buyer visibly won over by his find.

Buyers are keen to get a good bargain in order to relieve an often strained wallet. Their weapon: negotiation. A shopper is happy that she got an item for more than half of its original price. On the side of the sellers, we laugh yellow: “People want everything for nothing”, plague a saleswoman. Once the negotiations are complete, sellers and buyers end up finding common ground around mussels and fries, the emblematic dish of the Braderie de Lille.
