| 我喜歡逛超級市場, 因為見到有咁多食物包圍住你係一件好開心嘅事, 哈哈.. 而去親超市我就好少會空手而歸嘅, 因為通常都「唔覺意」至少會買啲零食咁囉, 啊, 罪過罪過!! 某日等緊朋友嘅時候, 見有時間就去超市行一圈, 結果敗咗三包零食返去.. 睇返張收據, 先發覺原來包crispy nugget有成一仙咁多嘅優惠, 最後圍起嚟又咪係返回原價?? 真係慷慨囉咁嘅優惠!! 上面個卅一仙優惠我都算啦, 至少都有送個精美儲藏盒, 但係呢一個一仙優惠, 的確係好無聊.. 大家都應該知道我嘅師奶仔性格, 分分鐘係因為要贈品又或者因為平啲(係平啲但係都未算平)而買某樣嘢㗎啦.. 各位係唔係都同樣有呢一種態度呢?? 哈哈!! :D |
| i love going to supermarkets as it's such a happy thing to see food all around you, haha.. whenever i go to a supermarket, it's rare that i will leave empty handed, as anyhow i will still "accidentally" buy at least some snacks, ah, my ugly sin!! the other day while waiting for a friend, there was still time and hence i went lingering in the supermarket in the mall, in the end bought home three packets of snacks.. checked the receipt and only to find out the crispy nugget on promotion was given a huge ONE-SEN discount.. after the rounding, it still went back to the original price, how generous!! the one above with 31-sen discount, i was fine with it since it came with a free container, but this 1-sen discount was really a nonsense.. everyone should have known that my auntie attitude has always got my buying things for the freebies or because they are cheaper (cheaper but still not cheap).. do you also have the same attitude?? hahaha!! :D |

One sen - not much if we buy one or just a number of packets but may mean something when bought in bulk but who buys in real bulk in a supermarket, eh?
ReplyDeleteSome freebies are worth paying a little extra for the product, I feel.
Good morning SK...
ReplyDeletegood day Sharon..
DeleteGood night Ah Boy.
DeleteGood night everybody.
It is 8.54pm now when I am spamming.
Bye bye
:P
so bad lah this Mak Glamarlina..
Deletegoing to bed soon?? お休みなさい
If it's $7.89, they not round to $7.85?
ReplyDeleteerr, we have a more complicated rounding system here to round to the nearest 5 or 10 sen..
Delete- 1 and 2 sen round down to 0 sen
- 3 and 4 sen round up to 5 sen
- 6 and 7 sen round down to 5 sen
- 8 and 9 sen round up to 10 sen
Over here, they will round to $7.85 as now no more using 1 cent...
ReplyDeleteyeah, i think they should do away with all the 1-sen thing since it's no longer in use..
DeleteGood morning Aunty SK. You are just like your brother Anay who has itchy hands. Need to buy something baru feel shiok. My problem is that I seldom check the receipts these days.
ReplyDeleteI have been conned so many times until I prefer to stand and watch them key in item by item. The price would flash on its cash register. If got error, I would stop them right away and correct them as they often keyed in wrong quantity or the wrong types of fruits. You know lah, sometimes got 3 types of pineapples and the cashier could bill me the imported one at RM12 for the nenas! Kaneeneh lah!
DeleteAll other shoppers behind me would be alerted and panic to watch.
yalah, itchy hands die die must buy something!! and when it comes to supermarket that likes to have X.99 pricing, i will get three at a time, so that they total up to X.X7 so that in the end round down to X.X5 and Thambee saves 2-sen!! better they lose and i gain right?? haha..
Deleteoh, i don't look at the cash register lah.. i will quickly pack the things into my bag.. i hate that when it's my turn and the previous customer is still there packing his/her thing because he/she was standing there doing nothing when items were scanned.. if any discrepancy, just go to the customer service lor..
I have spoilt eyes, go in, see something, must buy, lol...
Deleteyeah, i think this is some kind of "illness" huh?? we have to learn to control ourselves then~~ :D
Deleteme terbalik.. When they key-in i wont really bother to check even if the price flash wrongly coz end up the cashier will have to call his her colleague to walk to the relevant aisle to check the price. If confirmed wrong, then the cashier will call his/her supervisor and the supervisor will take his/her own sweet time to come. Then he/she will asked cashier what is the problem and swipe the card.
DeleteAt this duration, all the customer queueing up behind me will be glaring at me. Some will show black face.
Normally, I will just take the items and then checked the receipt after paying.
If there is any error, i will go to customer service to get refund.
I like the ones in Tesco. They are so friendly. When refund they would smile and say sorry. This way, everyone happy. I wont get glared at and cashier easier job. LOL
Take 3 items ah, Ah Boy...err ....sometimes 3 is too much leh. But for me when i buy vege, i will find the X.26 X.27 la LOL
oh same here lah, because the cashier cannot do anything one.. probably after they scan and malas to get the supervisor (also making everyone wait), they just ask us to go to the customer service later.. which i think this is better lah, i would just quickly pack my things and pay.. and then go to customer service for refund lah..
Deletehahahaha!! meow, i also like that!! the take 3 items just an example for those 99 sen things lah.. as long as i calculate the sen must be either 1, 2, 6 or 7 lah.. like that no need to pay them extra for rounding up mah, hahaha!!
The only receipts I always checked 100% before paying is the restaurant ones. Adoi!!!! Here in KL they made mistakes like 5/10 dining occasions for me!!! I am not sure whether they overlooked or deliberately. Even if they forgot to charge me, I would tell them to add on and I would pay more otherwise I could not sleep at night. LOL
ReplyDeletehmmm, bad luck Anay to have bad experiences with wrong items on the receipt as much as a 50% probability?? but Anay is good!! usually when overcharged people will make noise, if short-charged then keep quiet and quickly leave the place~~ :D
DeleteI usually check the receipt after leaving the place. But like annay, I stare at the registry machine when the cashier scans the items.
Deletewow, this Ah Hua is then double-kiasu lah.. stare at the cash register and also check her receipts!! best practices for all the aunties i would say~~ :D
Deleteagree with Anay...The ones from restaurant have to put on additional specs to check leh. sometimes ordered the dish never arrived and yet they charged us in the bill.
DeleteSometimes the restaurant also have promotion of certain dish but when they key into the system it's not reflected. Have to ask from them
true also, because restaurant is not like supermarket's small items.. better check that, sometimes ordered already the dish didn't come and yet they still charge us.. it's a good habit to always check your receipt lah, that's what receipts are for!!
DeleteLucky I cannot afford to makan at restaurant so not really encounter these problems you rich people have! Muahaha
DeleteI have the bad habit of just paying and checking later. ^^!
supermarkets sure pay and check later, but restaurants have to check before paying lah~~ even in mamak stalls, they'll just write the total on a piece of paper and slide it under your plate..
DeleteBest way to save, don't buy. Hehehehehe!!!!!
ReplyDeletei tried to not buy anything sometimes.. so i keep telling myself, don't buy lah waste money, eat so much later become the "Mayor of KL"~~ muahahahaha!! :D
DeleteThen suituapui will be Mayor of Sibu and SK Mayor of KL, lol...
Deletehahaha, i rather not be the Mayor at all!! i don't want to get FAT~~ :D
DeleteOUCH!
DeleteDon't buy, don't splurge, don't pig out.
Heh heh
ooopsss, that non-halal word came out from Lina's comment!! @_@"
DeleteEh! Thambee what was the last item you bought???
ReplyDeleteTRADISIONA.....RM2.37???
Mak Glam would guess:
TRADISIONAL KOTE MAMAK = RM2.37 sebatang.
Pussy Meow would guess:
TRADISIONAL Tongkat Ali = RM2.37 per 100 gram
Ah Hua would guess:
TRADISIONAL Minyak Lintah = RM2.37 sekotak
Yannie would guess:
TRADISIONAL Minyak Basikal = RM2.37 sebotol
Anay would guess:
TRADISIONAL Potatoes = RM2.37 sekilo
Betul?
LOL! This is funny la TM! You have very good imagination!! :p
Deletewow, really good imagination huh?? i bet Hayley wondered why Anay didn't try to guess what's in her mind?? hehehe..
Deletethat TRADISIONA thing was actually the kerepek cili lah, hahaha!! i think they have once common code grouped under "TRADISIONAL SNEK" maybe??
Uaaah, why Ah Hua gets minyak lintah? I must have look like an Ah Long, fierce and loud and ask for money everywhere, kakaka!
DeleteAnnay has wild imagination. He is practicing his right brain daily (or is it left brain) for creativity.
BTW, what is minyak lintah?? hahaha.. Anay is sure very witty and always have wild imagination to entertain us here.. i think that must be the coconut oil infused with jasmine he has been rubbing onto his head since he was a baby..
Deletewah anay so "innocent" ah? Tradisional Potatoes? what you do with the potatoes ah? raba raba and ramas ramas see is it firm or not ah ...see is it rotten or not to make salad for Letchumi is it...
Deletewah...what tongkat ali so expensive leh...
me too wanna know what is minyak lintah? :p
yalah, i thought Anay's would be Tradisional Minyak Kelapa, those that also infused with Jasmine Curry!! wakakakaka, then can raba raba on Letchumi's body~~ :D
DeleteHuiyo!
DeleteAnay expert on minyak lintah kah? Sure pakai a lot to make Letchumi happy. Muahaha
How come Meow tak tau one? I thought this kucing know macam macam one?
Ah Boy,
Well... Ah Boy mah. "Innocent" hehehe
hey, i just googled what minyak lintah is!! i guess all the ladies mentioned above sure want that lah, hahaha!! :D
DeleteMinyak lintah itu lubrication oil kah? I can use that Minyak Lintah for many purpose, basikal also pakai, orang pun boleh pakai.
DeleteMinyak lintah sepatutnay multipurpose oil la!
minyak lintah is more than a lubricant i would say.. Anay, you started all these, please enlighten us lah, you see you have arouse the hamsap curiosity amongst these women~~
Deletethat's what i don't like to go supermarket... especially you have to go through each of the items.
ReplyDeleteerrr, i don't find going through each item is a chore lah, i enjoy that, especially when i found discrepancy!! i definitely make a complaint straight away..
DeleteNow you said it, I better scrutinized my bill next time.. normally I never check cos I buy lot of junk and groceries once a month.. :)
ReplyDeletei always check my receipt, because many times their price tag and system price are unmatched, especially for promotion items..
DeleteClaire, must check ler...sometimes got promotion punya price but then their system not updated so they will charge you higher.
DeleteYeah like SK said...most of the time error comes is from those promotional items.
yes, it's a good habit to check your receipts.. those promotional items especially are prone to errors..
DeleteI check during scanning, double confirm with cashier and if got discrepancy... I went to customer service counter to get refund.
DeleteNowadays, the price and how they come out when scanned are so confusing especially for promo items.
yalah, especially those discounts with bulk purchases.. the cashier scans in everything, and only when she press the total button, the discounts were given, like that confusing also lah, cos you didn't know how much was discounted.. so, still have to fall back to checking the receipt..
DeleteGood morning SK and all! Oh, that's bad. As for me, I usually give 5 sen or 10 sen discount. When I am supposed to give the change as RM2.90, I would just give RM3. But surprisingly, most customers don't bother too. Not even a thank-you. I usually just give on my own free will. My cashiers don't do that and surprisingly, they usually ask. 'Don't pay the 10 sen, cannot ar?' they asked when they have to pay, say RM3.10. Funny, right?
ReplyDeletehahaha, i didn't complain about that 1-sen discount but just think it's quite nonsense, might as well don't give that discount to confused us, just go back to the round up price right??
Deletehmmm, customers are like that lah, always want discounts but who would want to pay more right??
OMG! That's hilarious! Just 1 sen discount, why did they even bother? So funny ...
ReplyDeleteif you just buy one then it rounded up back to the original price.. perhaps buy 3 and then get rounded down to 5 sen and save 2 sen, haha!!
Delete我對呢啲所謂優惠已經免疫，完全唔會影響我嘅購買欲。
ReplyDelete哈哈, 因為你都唔鍾意食嘢嘛~~
DeleteIt doesn't makes any difference also.
ReplyDeleteBetter don't give discount better. Or else ended we have more syillings inside our pocket.
Delete1 cent discount equivalent to 0%. Apa diskaun ni? Tsk Tsk Tsk.
DeleteI would prefer they just round up the price. Even with discount, it is easier. 1 or 2 cents we couldn't even bother if buy in bulk. Who cares?
Deleteactually 1-sen still discount lah, hahaha!! buy 1 or 2 no difference, but buy 3 then can get rounded down to 5 sen and save 2 sen lor.. but just find it quite a nonsense lah, 1-sen discount, hahaha!!
DeleteYeap, nowadays their marketing strategy veyr geng one. Everything want us to buy more and more.. So we can see the difference. hahaha..
DeleteSomehow it is a win win situation. You shiok you buy, if you don't vice versa.
Deletehahaha, of course they will always win more than we win lah.. after all, the money all goes to their own pocket, they sure won't rugi one even with discounts..
DeleteCorrect! From their point of view, they actually earned what they want. Takkan rugi one. They always wanted to earn a little bit more from us. Later GST, I dun dare to see.. many things will shoot up. Again anything could happen.
DeleteWe pua si only...
Deleteyalah, make no sense if they still sell at rugi price right?? cannot trust them lah, sure they still have a big margin to earn one..
DeleteI even noticed that the 1st item you bought is RM8.80 after discount is RM8.49. It is not equivalent to 5% too.
ReplyDeletethat one okay lah, got one very nice container as freebies, so i was fine with it lah.. even if no discount but 50sen more expensive also i will pay :D
DeleteOh, if you mentioned earlier sum more got freebies, then no comments from the floor ady. hehehe....
DeleteWish you have a nice day then!
Deleteerrr, i have already said that in the content of the post, you didn't go read that only~~ :D
DeleteGot ler, i got read one, maybe missed that line. phai seh lar..
Deleteyou must eat more fish lah, so that your eyesight would be better, haha!!
DeleteFish? Fish is my fav. But I still need to wear glasses lor.
Deletehaha, then you didn't eat enough fish when you were a kid lor?? now you have to wear glasses~~ :D
DeleteGood afternoon SK and guys!
ReplyDeleteYeah, haze is getting better!! ;)
Wah you are so observant! (Or shall I say 'really auntie' :p)
DeleteYou did look at the receipt of the things you bought huh? Well to me, I rarely do that. Not because I don't care about being 'cheated', I am just too lazy :p
i am always sensitive to price one, just don't feel good to let them earn my money for no reason mah.. i always check my receipts, if i am overcharged i sure make a complaint for refund immediately~~ you orang kaya, don't even bother about small money mah!! haha~~
DeleteTo some people, discount of 1 cent is already very good enough, but to some, it doesn't make much difference.
ReplyDeleteGuess I belongs to the latter :p
As for the question you asked, I sometimes will! But it also depends on what is the freebies la! If not useful/practical to me, I won't buy it.
DeleteBut if it's useful, or at least to my family, then I'll consider to buy.
yalor, 1-sen doesn't make any difference lah.. unless you buy in bulks, like 100?? and that only gives you RM1 discounts, so pathetic lah.. hehehehe, of course lah, have to see if the freebies is nice and practical or not lah~~
Deletenah, the most i will get is 3 packets.. so that they total up to give a 7-sen and i got it rounded up to 5-sen, that's a 2-sen saving, haha!!! oh, if i like the freebies, i wouldn't mind paying extra too~~ :)
ReplyDeletehaha...like your honestly as your said u have aunty mode
ReplyDeletebut that 1 cent discount is ridiculous
Deletehmm....maybe if u buy 5 packs, then u will earn a 5 cents discount. haha
Deletei like freebies too but also depending on the usefulness.
Deletesupermarket is a nice place to browse for stuffs. I love to shops at supermarket too, besides than shopping for clothing :)
Deletei am always very honest about myself lah, nothing to hide, haha!! yeah, but then need to buy 5 only got 5-sen discounts, how pathetic lah.. oh, i love browsing for stuffs in supermarkets more than shopping for clothes, hehe~~ :D
Deletehaha well that's really nonsense haha alot of
ReplyDeleteproduct is using such method just to attract those
costumer who aint got time to compute haha
yeah, it was rather funny to know about that 1 cent discounts.. :D
Deletethe most common price tag was those with 99.99 price haha which will be a hundred when it was in the counter, well there's no one cent available as of now,
ReplyDeleteor even there is, it would be a shame
Deleteto use such coins haha
yeah, i kind of hate those XX.99 price tag, it makes the computation so complicated.. but then usually i'll just round them up, haha!!
Deleteas for me, whenever i was buying at the market
ReplyDeletewhen the product with cents on the price tag I'll consider it another peso, for example it it's 1.50 it consider it 2 so it'll be easier to compute and there'll be no conflict on the counter
yeah, this way it will be better.. and when you are expecting to pay more and there comes the change, you'd actually be delighted~~ :)
Deleteyeah that's my point but sometimes what's makes it worst when the price tag doesnt some with the same price at the counter
Deletehuh!! that's always the problem, so always remember what you see on the price tag, so that you can make a complaint later..
Deleteyou really has the eye for everything huh,
ReplyDeleteI wouldnt even notice that myself haha
now im confused if that's a blogger or an auntie's attitude haha
nah, i have the habit to check my receipts just in case there is any discrepancy.. if i am overcharged, i will surely make a complaint straight away and get refunded :D
Deletehave a great day and god bless you sk
ReplyDeletetake the best of care and enjoy bloggin always
you too, have a great day and happy blogging.. may god bless you :)
DeleteI've never encountered such 1-cent discount, perhaps this amount is less attractive for me, kekekeke. I'm very Aunty one. My eyes only see big discount.
ReplyDeleteMoreover I seldom buy in bulk. Buying bulk sometimes doesn't save much. It makes me spent huge sum of money and requires more space to store them at home.
actually they just show the after-discount price at the shelf, so i didn't know the before-discount price.. in the end, the printed that on the receipt, and fulamak, so generous lah!! hahaha, only when it's really dirt cheap that i will consider stocking up lah, else, just get enough will do.. :)
DeleteCrunch? You bought chocolate bar? Hehehe, or are you tempted by the free gift?
ReplyDeleteI love chocolate, stock them in my office drawer occasionally. Buying chocolate and get freebies is a bonus.
oh, you heard of that nestle crunch chocolate wafer bars?? hehehehehe, i find that cheap and also nice woh.. actually also because of the freebie container lah.. i also stock up some chocolates in my drawer, sometimes hungry mah right?? :D
DeleteI tend to over-shop when I have more cash in my wallet. Will get more snacks and junk food, lol. So to save up, I avoid hypermarket, supermarket and mini market at all cost. Or I bring MM along - either he pays for the bill or we do quick shopping because he has no patience.
ReplyDeleteerrr, whether i have more cash or not in my wallet, i still buy!! hahaha.. that is really a bad habit, and i think i should start to control myself already.. you have MM to help you, so please bring him to supermarket along everytime~ :D
DeleteGive discount 1 sen, then after all totalled up still kena round up what...
ReplyDeleteThis is what I call deceptive marketing! ;p
errr, if buy 1 or 2 then will round up to the original price.. but if you buy 3 or 4 then total up and round down to 5 sen less.. must do the maths of our very special Malaysian rounding adjustments lah~~ :D
DeleteI agree with Lina lah.....deceptive marketing.
DeleteIf like that it;s like they "force" you to buy 3 items la. what if the items you dont really need in such big numbers like vegetables. Tak kan la every day eat the same vege. And the vege cannot keep one leh...have to finish fast
yalah, some supermarkets still practice that X.X9 pricing scheme, very nonsense lah.. a lot of supermarkets already round up the prices to 5 or 10 sen already, like that more senang lah.. those that still comes with X.X9 i sure will make sure my total lasts with either 1,2,6,7 sen so that i can get the round-down..
DeleteI think this is very crazy la! Discount 1 sen only also considered discount kah? I will donate that 1 sen back to the hypermarket la!
Deletehahaha, after the rounding adjustments, you have already donated that 1 sen to the hypermarket!! they are helping you to do that~~ :D
DeleteGRRRR!! THIS POST GETS ME FUMING!!!!
ReplyDeleterounding up and down and the "so called" offer/discount...grr!!! *ANGRY FACE*
Just last week was window shopping and saw one new hypermarket/supermarket in a mall. Went in and see lo . I saw they advertised Ribena RM9.90 on the shelves. Promotion price with yellow sticker some more leh. So cheap. So I took two lor,
Then walk some more saw Mi Seda RM3.29 promotional price. Then I noticed at the shelves was RM4.29. But at the main area was RM3.29. So i thought okay...maybe like what Lina gone through the other day la...so I take la...paid at the counter checked price.
See the receipt Ribena RM12+ and the mi sedap RM4.29...what the ....oh well...off to the customer servoce counter...
The ah moi there never listen one...Show her the recipt and she straight away say the Ribena free gift is in the packaging. Wah lau eh....woi! pekak or what...repeated one more time about the pricing...still insist that gift is in the package...chicken and duck talk or what....me not talking alien leh...me talk malay leh...my malay not that bad gua?
Finally she got it...lengggang lenggong went to check the pricing...come back....Oh ribena tu promotion dah over...tu mi sedap promotion esok baru start.
asked her why promotion over never take out sticker and why the actual price not there on the shelf...cannot answer.
So we told her we dont want the products anymore. Refund money. She was like "HUH?" . I guess nobody else demand money back like us gua. Maybe people will just say "oh my bad luck. Didnt check properly". For me it's misleading advertisement la.
It might be staffs lazy or maybe lax of management. Even when we ask for refund the Supervisor just pass us back the money without a word of sorry.
Then we asked for the receipt coz he took the recipt to the counter. Hey what did you know...The receipt we got back was the original receipt. Just the mi sedap and the ribena was circle with pen. They didnt even bother to error out the transaction. Hmm....i wonder how they keeping the accounts. Not my business if they open themselves for fraud.
Anyway, this is not the first time this chain of hyper market does this. Even there is one near my house, I would go to further hypermarket like G or T to get stuffs.
opsss...my comment longer than your post LOL...
Deletesorry la...coz still fuming with these gimmick promotion la.
All these rounding up say so call "promotion/discount" really gets me angry la .
Too bad i didnt snap photo of the price else will certainly bligged about it. At that time didnt think of that.
Deletetoo bad also I didnt notice any signboard that says they will honour lower price in case of dispute. If not I will screw them upside down.
Tesco and Giant have that sign but not this particular hyper/supermarket.
wow, long comments and even longer story than me post!! hahaha, but i enjoyed reading it very much lah.. the way Meow puts that the story, so kan cheong and makes people want to continue reading, haha!! eih, very bad lah, which hypermarket was that?? you mentioned you rather go to G or T, then likely we know which one you had bad experience with lah, haha!!
Deletenext time when see promotion, either go to the price scan station to confirm the price.. or take a photo of the price tag there on the spot.. and always remember to see if there is an effective date range for the promotion also.. a lot of things that we need to stay alert with lah, so many deceptive marketing nowadays..
Mak datuk ai!
DeleteNo wonder ini Meow kena ban from commenting earlier today.
Wah.... so much ranting and pent-up emotion over this matter ah, Meow?
Looks like SK managed to unleash Meow's emotion today. :P
now i know what can trigger the Meow and also Lina lah.. Meow sure all these supermarket discounts, Lina too.. and Lina, probably talk about playing with phones while walking or driving, haha!! :D
Deleteme too if got freebies that I feel i like or ngum me I will buy lor. Otherwise am just too cheapskate la
ReplyDeletehahaha, freebies mah, if nice and useful and practical, then who won't like?? sometimes pay a little bit more also okay lah~~
ReplyDelete
