Would prefer to buy essential consumer items for the whole family before thinking of unnecessary items. Gosh, so Aunty! hehe...<BR/><BR/>Poor girl. *pat pat* <BR/><BR/>Over here, the huge variety of Asian products are easily available and so cheap.

The prices of groceries sold here are usually cheaper than other supermarkets <BR/><BR/>Because of this, prices of daily necessities in Singapore are kept competitive to curb profiteering.<BR/><BR/>Besides the 2% discount for senior citizens, shoppers get a further 5% discount for 500 housebrand items. They can save up to 25 per cent on 100 items that have been labelled with yellow tags.<BR/><BR/>If they are members, they get a rebate at the end of the year.<BR/><BR/>It stabilises the prices of essential consumer products and has gone on to become the people's supermarket. :)eastcoastlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13578276762751929226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16572633.post-81659743692215947542009-03-26T20:25:00.000+08:002009-03-26T20:25:00.000+08:00Dora,S$10 isn't a lot of money.

The amount comes to a little above the 100 euro's.<BR/><BR/>The wishlist of most men r crates of beer. How typical I thought ! They only think abt drinking themselves into oblivion, given the chance.<BR/><BR/>Women r more pragmatic. Fresh meat n processed meats r expensive - so must grab as much as possible ! Expensive products that one usually avoid buying is next on the list. Then comes the multi-pack coffee (heavy drinkers here in NL) n detergents.<BR/><BR/>If I was given this opportunity, I would stock up on Asian products bec they r sold as luxury imports. I had to pay thru the nose for the simplest item which one wouldnt think twice when buying them in SG *sigh* I just bought a liter of kikkoman soya sauce (only brand available) for € 5,29 *faints*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16572633.post-17767518304260802772009-03-26T15:42:00.000+08:002009-03-26T15:42:00.000+08:00Happy Anniversary to the couple.That's a wonderful...Happy Anniversary to the couple.<BR/><BR/>That's a wonderful activity.
