Buy,Buy, Buy Again

Today Giant launching their 100th store opening in Bandar Kinrara. It seems our Prime Minister be there for their 100th store grand opening. Yesterday, we supplier were given additional 10% discount for their pre-opening invitation which includes Guardian. Something caught my eyes when I was looking through the coupon, " 10% will be given on top of the promotional item ". Hmmm... should I go. Finally I make up my mind lets go and have a look provided there is no jam.

Before I left the office yesterday, I draft our my shopping list as I want to go there with objectives. Only grab the item which is real cheap. So here goes my list.... Cutie Compact Toilet Rolls, Laundry Detergent, Floor Detergent, Softener, Dettol, Shokubutsu Shower Gel, Ribena, Mamy Poko and Drypers Baby Diapers. Thats it not going to get other than this.

Reach there about 6 pm and still not much people and most of the shop in the still under renovation and some must be rushing for their opening today and still in a mess. Finally get into the selling floor and look for the items I want. Wah.... all so cheap and grab to the max per transaction as some limited to a qty per transaction. Walk, walk, walk reach the fruits and vegetables section and was wondering why so many people picking what. Oooo fruits and look at the price wah.... so cheap. There comes my bad habit again ... impulse buying. Since the grapes and oranges are so cheap., end up I buy a big packet of it. Come to vegetables section, green vegetables only RM0.29 per big bundle, brocolli only RM1.59 per floret, celery only RM1.39 per big packet, big onion only RM0.49 per kg and choose a whole big packet only less than RM1.00 and see whatever is cheap also must buy.

End up total damaged RM269.53 after 10% discount. Dig, dig and dig my purse, aiyor not enough money oh. Don't care, charged it to my credit card supplemented by Dearie Suki and let him pay for it. hihihihi....


Look at my car boot, full with the grocery items. Aiyar diela... going to become AUNTIE already!

Good buy. I also always believe in bargains. Over here, all supermarkets have buy one get one free for different items at different weeks. That is when we stock up.
