Developed a new hobby lately- shopping at Shop n Save Supermarket at Khatib Mrt Station. Can just pop in for5 minutes on my way to work, which is enough.
I must that this spot is a tremendous improvement. There used to be only 2 small shops selling stuff at ahem... prices.
Noticed that on Tv there's some award/recognition for the top few commercials.. and SHOP n SAVE (featuring Xiang Yun and her "mother") came in second *gasp* Appalling. I can't see any merit in that commercial... though it is better than M1 any day. Well...
And by the way, I can't say that the prices offered there are the cheapest... its frustrating how some stores claim to offer discounts but prices are still more expensive.. For instance, i bought a pack of instant tea at 4plus 2 weeks ago. Yesterday, i popped into the store again- for fun- and saw that the same pack of instant tea cost $5.70. *gasp!* Good thing i bought it earlier... And the irritating thing is... the prices are never stated on the shelves. There, the price tags often state- "temporarily out of stock" when the items are obviously there. Miss those trusty, old-fashioned white/yellow price tags which don't lie...
And yes i can't guarantee that i can save at Shop n SAVE... since the prices can only magically appear through scanning the barcode at the cashier ( temporarily out of stock?) Its really up to your luck most of the time. ALSO... i tend to succumb to the temptations of the delicious display of stuff.. which i may not need. How to save huh?!
Well. Retail therapy applies to groceries and toiletries. Absolutely.
Despite the cons of shopping there, it does offer some sort of relaxation, especially on a hot day! (i salute the air-conditioning!)
So while my paycheck forbid a tai-tai lifestyle, i shall be contented to be an auntie. For the time being.
