Yup!!! No one doesn't like freebies, I'm one of those 白拿不拿, hahaha!!!
ReplyDeleteyeah, if they give then why we don't take right?? haha~~
DeleteToday talking about freebies ahh? Ok jugak.. Aunty topic, ngam me also.. I don’t have much stories to story you all about freebies, but I can terang-terang admit, I also like freebies la.. (well, who doesn’t?)..
ReplyDeleteHmm, am a bit late today coz justnow got meeting la at 9am.. Wah, sien dou..
DeleteInside the meeting room ahh, kept yawning you know.. But of coz la I closed my mouth and tahan not to open my mouth when yawning.. You know my head kept thinking about what ahh? Kept thinking about replying SK’s blog la, hahahaha.. I was thinking “aiya, faster la end the meeting, I wana go out and reply SK’s blog”..
Sekali pandang I thought siapa punya kid’s stuff and what-nots, then read read ha, eh, all belongs to Uncle SK pulak.. What attracted me was that Mickey mug.. Buy what got that free mug?
DeleteOk, back to the freebies topic..
DeleteI seldom go to the supermarket coz I told you before ma, usually one needs to stay at home to look after the kids, while the other can go out to shop (for house groceries) in peace.. So in my case, usually I’m the one staying at home to look after the kids, and the hubs go out to buy house stuffs..
So you know la, men.. (I mean my hubby only).. He doesn’t really lookout for freebies, and he’s not really aware of it also, so leh, usually I don’t have many freebies like mugs, plates, etc..
aiyoh, so early in the morning you have the "sports car" meeting already?? hahaha, aih, so early meeting really not quite productive also, i think the best time for meeting is 10am like that lor..
Deleteaiyah, freebies mah, so cannot choose much also.. next time tell your hubby to stay at home to take care of the kids, while you can happily shop in the supermarkets to hunt for the freebies mah.. especially when you realized your house has not got enough plates and bowls and mugs :p
Eh, 9am that time was normal company meeting.. Everyone went inside and yawned and listen to tokok stories.. The sports car meeting was after that company meeting, separate discussion, kekekeke..
Deleteaiyoh, tell your boss lah, don't make the meeting so early lah, everyone will just yawn inside there only.. allow everyone to come in, have a cup of coffee and had their breakfast, turned on the PC and surf net awhile, then baru walk in for the meeting, like that sure more "jing sun" one..
DeleteBut I can story you, I’m kiasu over other freebies – goody bags!
ReplyDeleteNeh, when we go to exhibitions kan, like furniture expo la, reno expo la, most of the booths will have goody bags to attract people to stop by their booths kan?
DeleteHah, I always pretend walk near them, then make my poker face, like very enthusiastic like that to know about their products, and hope they will give me their goody bags (usually after filling up some personal information and answering some general questions).. hehehe..
Lastime leh, before married, we always have so much time (to waste), we always look forward to exhibitions in shopping centres.. Then when there's one coming up, we always look forward to that date.. Haha.. Then we would stand outside the entrance and wait for them to open...
Coz you know la, they will have more time to layan you when there is not so many people.. When more and more people start to come in, they malas mau layan also la.. Coz we only wana go to their booth to get their "small" freebies like pens and magnets.. keke..
I am not malu to admit la.. Even of their booths don’t have goody bags also, I will still stop by every booth to eye on their “small” freebies like pen, magnets (and even sweets)..
DeleteWait, sweets? Princess polka ribbon, you must kidding.. Come on, sweets? Yes, sweets. Full stop.
Ok, after talking about exhibition booths, let’s talk about kid’s parties or open house pulak..
DeleteWhen Kenzie boy was still in his previous nursery, they have this festival open house… Of course we went there empty handed.. When we reached, I already saw every kid holding 1 goody bag..
Well, not an expensive goody bag la.. Just some jellies and candies inside.. But being an aunty kiasu, I was still excited over those goody bags, haha.. Baby G was only about 6 months old that time.. In my heart, I was already thinking “Will they give Baby G one goody bag too, coz he’s still so small”…
Then when they really gave me 1 extra goody bag (for baby G), wah, I was so happy, but of coz I didn’t show out via my facial expression la..
Of course my mouth said “err, no need la, baby G still a baby” (but in my heart I was hard-up of the goody bag also la), kekekeke..
Ok, exhibitions and kid’s birthday parites done, one more to yak ~ Food demo, haha.
DeleteNeh, those food demo in shopping malls.. Especially on their electric stove, steamer, blender, etc.. Coz after they finished cooking, they will offer the food to the people ma..
Everyone would be patiently waiting for the demo to finish, so that they can get a taste of the food being cooked la..
When I was at this PWTC for the homedec expo, they are promoting this V**s delicooker la.. So they showed lor, what food bring cooked on the stove, etc..
DeleteThey toasted bread (with butter), then boil a tong-sui and steamed some tofu and fish cakes.. We were patiently standing there observing their demo, coz we were quite interested also.. Then after the demo finished, they asked us to taste the tong-sui wor, see nice or not, then they also asked us to try the toast bread, see crunchy or not..
See, dapat makan free by just standing there.. Good hor..
Next, there was this booth selling blender+cooker, two in one.. I remembered they blended some beans like soya beans, red beans, oats and what-nots, added milk and rock sugar, blended it, then cooked in the same device. After about 20 minutes, “beep beep”, ok liao.. They poured out the bean beverage into paper cups, and distributed to us to try the drink.. See, can get another free wholesome drink liao..
DeleteSo leh, yes, I am also interested and attracted to anything free, hehehehe.. Not only physical goods like free mugs and plates (and goody bags), but also free food tasting and all.. Haha..
DeleteBeing an aunty kiasu, I am always attracted to any free recipe books (but usually that would be given if we purchase some cooking ware from them).. So normally, I would try my luck.. Go over to them and ask "Can I just have that recipe book".. I know, you wana *phiak* me liao.. Where got people wana foc the recipe book to me if I did not purchase anything from them leh, kan?
Neh, I remembered I was at this Homedec expo also.. They were demonstrating on the steamer with 4-5 tiers.. Everything steamed.. Healthy.. Perfect for working parents and those who have no time to cook.. So you just chuck everything into the steamer and steam..
The whole time, I was eyeing on their recipe book lor.. Because I feel the receipe book is very useful.. Imagine all food steamed, using the tier only.. Healthy pulak, no oil splatters.. But of course in the end, I did not manage to "curi" the recipe book lor..
Wah! This Auntie Ribbons spammed 12 comments at ONE GO!!! Bagus lah! You might win SK's soup bowl as Trophy!
DeleteWakakakaka
Uikks, now call me Auntie Ribbon liao ahh? What happened to my Polka Princess title?
Deletehahaha, Auntie Ribbon!! aiyoh, of course lah, tell so many moyang kebayan stories, sure from Princess become Auntie already.. but hebat lah, she can spend hours to spam comments here, i really salute but then more importantly, i appreciate that effort and support lor.. so lup you lah~~
Deleteeih, goodie bags, who not love that?? hahaha.. especially nowadays all the goodie bags also put inside recycle shopping bag, which is something i like.. nothing inside only bag also i don't mind lor.. neh, few months ago there's an exhibition in PWTC, first 1000 customers will be given a water bottle.. i go there everyday to get my bottle for 4 days leh!! i more hebat than you~~
Ala, you have all the time in the world, nothing to do also.. So of coz you can go there everyday and hog on their water bottles lor.. If I am you, I will camp outside the hall the night before also la (chewahhhh)...
Deleteaiyoh, that one no need to camp outside a night before lah, not so many people like me will go there everyday to queue and collect the bottles mah.. somemore only water bottles, not worth to camp overnight lah.. you think they are giving RM8,888,888.88 meh??
DeleteNot only money, look at the iPhone, people camp for over night to buy iPhone......
DeleteAnd those young teenage camp over night to buy their idol concert tickets!!!
hahaha, i surely will not do that lah.. queuing already is my limit, will never go camp overnight outside the venue lah.. being the first one the get the same thing as others, errr, no difference wat..
DeleteLol...auntie ribbon. No la . Don't sound nice la.
DeleteThough am very auntie too.like freebies. But I don't simply accept any freebies
Some freebies not appropriate like men shaving cream , men perfume. ..tarak ngum lo. I think if wanna take freebies also must see ngum use or not. Same like giving gift right? If I give you pink pokka dot ribbon you can use. But if I give to sk...lol...maybe he will give to fing fing
Some freebies too expensive I also dare not take. What about you, princess?
hahaha, Auntie Ribbon sounds nice also mah, more closer and down-to-earth than Princess Ribbon lah..
Deletehahaha, true lah Meow.. freebies, like gifts, also must be appropriate to the recipient lah.. ladies give more feminine things and guys give more masculine things lah, or something more unisex will be even better.. if Meow got free men perfume doesn't want, can always mali cini lah~~ :D
Aiya...expired jor la...wokay...next time I baling over to you :p
DeleteWho doesn't like free goodies, definitely not me~~~ LOL
ReplyDeletei can say i surely LOVE them, if you don't want then can give me~~ :D
DeleteGood afternoon. Everyone loves good freebies! I also love that soup bowl of Mickey Mouse and bought 2 sets of toothpaste at one go. It is worth it!!!
ReplyDeleteI must get them again if they are still available. The size of that soup bowl is unique with 2 handles.
Wait, is that a soup bowl? Looks like a mug to me..
DeleteBut whether or not that is a mug or soup bowl, I also like, hehe.. Freebies wor, somemore Mickey mouse character, who doesn't like? Cute ma tak lor, kan?
This mug/soup bowl can take to office also.. Suitable for office use.. If you tapau cendol, can put in this giant mug to drink, no need to use office pantry's punya bowl, kan? Then if tapau porridge back (which they pack in a plastic bag), can also pour into this mug to eat at your desk..
Then if wana make Milo or beverages, can kiasu make a big mug, drink slowly, haha.. Sorry hah, all my cheapo attitude all out liao..
muahahahaha, surprised Anay also like that mug/bowl from that toothpaste!! i like that at first sight and bought two tubes to get one.. very handy, i am using it to have my oats for breakfast everyday, just the right size and the right weight.. but few more days back to the same hypermarket, they are gone but giving away slightly smaller mug instead of these bowl with two handles..
Deleteyalor, Auntie Ribbon, this bowl good to use leh, very handy!! i love it so much.. got Mickey Mouse in front, and then my favorite Donald Duck at the back~~
Eh ...last time I also hv similar soup bowl from heinz bb food leh. Freebie from sale. Then j dropped n broken it.
DeleteI muka tembok China. Wrote in to heinz ask where can buy. They gv a new oneto me free. But broken again. Paiseh wanna write in any more . Lol
aiyoh, so nice one ah?? hehehehehe, next time i also want to try my luck say where i can buy the freebies and hoping they will send me one for free~~ but doubt local companies will even bother to reply you huh?? :D
DeleteEh dont be surprise if they do leh
DeleteMy father was the worst Kiasu Uncle I ever knew in my whole life. There was once the toothpaste gave away crystal-like deep dinner plates which my mum loved so much!!! He went to buy almost 36 Large Family Sized Toothpaste just to redeem the plates. Walau Eh, then he started asking me to brush my teeth 5 times a day!!! Gila!
ReplyDeleteThen you ma have 36 dinner plates?
Deletemuahahahaha!! but i would say that your dad wasn't uncle but he was so sweet because he knew your mum loves that dinner plates so he bought 3 dozen for her!! so are those plates still there now?? or Anay has already broken them all??
DeleteAhem...by right hor...hv to brush teeth after every meal leh.
DeleteGood la. You get clean teeth n your mom get freebie bowl. Win win situation la
cannot brush too often also lah, later will spoil the protective layer on your tooth, errr, what is that layer called ah anyone??
DeleteMy science failed :p
DeleteLOL at uncle SK!
ReplyDeleteI only buy if freebies are for items I intend to purchase in the first place and the price is similar to the ones that doesn't come with free stuff.
I don't really like them unless its free food nowadays. Too much clutter at home dy. Dunno where to put all these free stuff. Later end up, I shove it to someone who might want it even less than me but terpaksa take because I give. HAHAHA
of course i don't just buy anything for the freebies lah, have to see if it's nice and practical and whether i need it, and also the price must not be too much higher than the original price.. errr, next time if you have freebies that you do not want, whatsapp me a photo and let me see if i want to adopt from you~~ :D
DeleteMe too mee too...I tumpang sekaki can ah...me kiasu also
Deletehahaha, like that create a group chat call "Freebies Exchange" then we can post photos and exchange for the freebies amongst lah~~ :D
Deletehaha... another shopping king... but freebies shopping king...
ReplyDeleteI like freebies if I don't have to come out with any money...
hahaha, like that not shopping king lah.. i am just being a very wise consumer only lah.. if the items come with freebies, then actually it would be quite worth to spend that little.. freebies mah, of course they are free (or at least near free la).. :p
DeleteI always throw away my husband's freebies... too many bowls and cups and glasses at home... haha... I only want things that I really need, but not to collect extra... (Hope he won't see my comment here)
ReplyDeleteooopsss, you didn't know your husband is the #1 fans of my blog?? he sure will be reading this.. and now he knew why all his bowls and cups and glasses all went missing but the wife denied that she threw them away!! :D
DeleteIf you don't want pls throw mali cini *muka tembok china* :)
Deletehahaha, yalor, why throw away?? pass it to those who want it or need it.. don't waste~~ :p
Deleteyeah yea...I sokongggggggg
DeleteWhoa, certainly some pretty and useful freebies, SK. You sure are a smart shopper going for good freebies for a little bit more. Maybe I should start checking out the aisles from now on too. :p
ReplyDeletehahaha, that is something i like about grocery shopping.. being a smart shopper to get useful and practical freebies.. don't have to fork out extra to buy extra sets of bowls and cups and plates and glasses~~ :D
DeleteJust like you, I like freebies. I still remember buying my kids' milk powder and I always buy a lot when they have freebies eg, toys, short story books, extra gm, etc
ReplyDeleteI always like to buy Darlie too as they will come with free mug or plates. Cute design and most of the time, cartoon character types.
DeleteBut sometimes, I do consider. If I don't really need that stuffs, I won't buy because of it's freebies. If coincidentally I need it, and I buy a few when it comes with freebies.
DeleteI still remember I bought a packet of 2kg MILO. It was on promo price (less than RM30) and it comes with a freebies, a water container. However, the container spoils after a few use. hehe
DeleteVery seldom I see guy loves to shop. I thought only ladies will keep a look out on such freebies ! hehe.... Your gf will be very lucky because u will definitely accompany her for shopping. Unlike my hubby, he hates shopping!
Deletehahaha, yeah, i am like you also.. whenever they have value pack i sure will get them because it's cheaper, and when there are useful freebies i also will buy them.. stock up at home lah, sure will finish them one day lah, haha
Deleteoh, yeah, Darlie always have very nice plates and bowls, i think we have a lot of them at home too.. haha, but you are right also lah, need to be smart and consider if we really need those freebies, cannot grab everything without thinking also.. eih, nowadays not only ladies shop leh, guys can even be better shoppers :D
Good afternoon SK and everyone.. If i see freebies, i will stop and take a 2nd look at the item, lol...
ReplyDeleteRecently, i saw in the supermarket, pay by NETs and you get a free packet of Ang Bao, so happen i bought tissues, $5 plus, purposely pay by NETs to get it, open up, inside only 5 pc of Ang Bao, lol very aunty hor, kaka...
DeleteAt MBO, buy movie tickets also can get 10 pcs ang bao as freebies, but it only give out as they want, cause sometimes we got it sometimes we don't!!! =[
Deletehahaha, same same here!! the freebies will attract me to stop and take a look.. and i can stand there for a while to examine the freebies and take my own sweet time to decide whether i want it, hahaha!!
Deleteoh, free angpow.. i think nowadays many places also give away free angpow packets huh?? sometimes purposely buy a bit more so that i can hit that amount to get the angpow packets :D
I spotted Kit Kat. I have three of those mugs. They are rather special. So I keep them for my boy.
ReplyDeleteWell, I hardly buy cups, mugs or bowls as I have plenty of them from my shop. Just use them and don't feel bad even if I accidentally dropped them.
DeleteYes, of course they are slightly higher but just minimal. My customers will come back for their free gifts if we forgot to give them. Guess everyone loves free gifts.
DeleteExactly! Everyone loves free stuff! Especially those very unique and useful one ;)
DeleteAnd you're right, I hardly buy mugs/cups too, as we can get them as freebies from almost any products! I think most plates and cups in my house are all free, haha xD
hehehe, they actually two different series if you realised?? i have got two of the first series, and then another three from the second series.. that time i have been eating a lot of Kit-Kat, hahahaha!!
Deletesure Wenn you will have lots of those lah, so many that you will have excess and do not worry if you lost or break one.. how nice!! hahaha.. i wonder if the supplier actually give you extra freebies when the stock comes??
yeah, Hayley, i think i use those freebies mugs/cups/plates/bowls/glasses more than i buy them really :D
I like freebies but sometimes I have to think whether it's worth buying or not!
ReplyDeleteyeah, of course.. have to think twice if it's worth, and whether it's practical and i need that :)
DeleteLuckily I am not one who like to collect things like cups, bowls etc. They are just going to add to my stuffs at home and end up as trash later on :D
ReplyDeletehahaha, when i see something i like, i will not think about my own collection at home.. usually i will forget about the old ones and like the new ones, haha!! :p
DeleteLOL! Why call yourself Uncle? No good, no good. I shall call you brother SK. Hahaha!
ReplyDeletehaha, it's okay lah, i am fine with being an uncle, afterall i am slowly becoming one already mah.. but of course, i cannot accept someone older than me calling an uncle lah~~ :D
DeleteHey, the mug looks very nice leh.. from Darlie ah? I have a few mugs from Darlie last time.. still using them... next time must go "hau" for those freebies like you too.. some are pretty useful while some are not... but I like those disney characters one..
ReplyDeletewhich mug?? the Mickey Mouse one?? yeah, from Darlie, i love that.. very handy to use, just the right size for my oats for breakfast.. yalah, some of those freebies are really good quality one, and worth to actually get them..
DeleteGood evening SK and guys!
ReplyDeleteHmm, another 'auntie' post from SK! Opps, I mean 'uncle' post :p
Hey I have the same Kit Kat mug la! Keke, very good to use, not too big not too small, just nice, I use it to make my morning Milo ;))
Looks like you collected quite a lot of freebies leh! Or is it your family who is the one who collect them? :p
The plates looks nice, from Mister Potato I guess? Very colorful, they sure very creative in creating the plate, appetite also become better when using the plate, cause so pretty and colorful ma!
The 'I love soccer' mug, from what geh? Looks like a big mug, can use to eat porridge or mini maggi mee! And the rest at the back, I guess are normal plastic tupperware kinda thing, right?
DeleteI agree, who doesn't like freebies? I like too but I don't collect them on purpose. If the thing I buy happens to have freebies in it, then I'll just take lo! But your collection seems very nice, cause the most common freebies I see is those ceramic plate/bowl, erm toothpaste also have one, haha xD
As for the price comparison like you mentioned, of course the manufacturer 'counted' in the freebies's price la, though not completely 100%. They also wanna earn ma, 谁要做亏本生意哦?It just that the word 'free' naturally attract our attention (especially those elderly) that's why there're always freebies inside something. In fact, they already 'counted' the fees inside xD
DeleteAlso, some manufacturer use the word 'limited edition' to attract our attention, making that particular thing so much 'precious' and 'laku'! I guess this is one of the very smart business tactic, like you said, some freebies may not be sold separately, so if I happen to see this kinda freebies, I'll consider to buy =) Of course, it also depends on whether I use that thing or not....
Deletehahaha, i thought auntie/uncle post can attract more comments mah, but seems like it's not the case?? maybe all the aunties and uncles are very busy with CNY right now, have to go to supermarkets and hypermarkets to stock up the CNY stuffs.. hmmm, i think there are more chances to get freebies during this period hor??
Deletethat Mickey Mouse bowl comes free with two tubes of Darlie family size.. like that at first sight and quickly bought it, very handy and nice to use lah.. i use it to have oats for my breakfast everyday now..
yeah, but then those freebies may be considered as their marketing cost mah.. i don't mind paying just a little bit more for the freebies lah, but cannot be too much and the freebies must be practical and justifiable for that extra lor.. those limited edition ones, errr, i don't care lah.. even if not nice also not use being limtied what, haha~~
我可能係其中一個唔鍾意贈品嘅人!死囉,喺咪愈老愈變態咗啊!
ReplyDelete你唔要可以考慮俾我囉, 如果我喜歡嘅話, 哈哈!! :D
DeleteOooo...what lovely stuff! Been so busy, will get you something nice after Chinese New Year and send to you. So hard even to get around these days, jam jam jam....everyone has come home for Chinese New Year. You're not into food so much, right?
ReplyDeletebeen so busy eating these few days?? hahaha.. oh, i shall be expecting something from the Food Mayor of Sibu after CNY?? hmmm, are you going anywhere?? thank you in advance~~ :p
DeleteGood evening. Spamming from KT.

Inside got one bottle of coffee ...not tongkat ali ok...n a pkt of biscuits. Nice la. We took 3. Kiasu asked can take 2more ka? The lady gv. Lol...took to gv fren coz pkt so nice.
the toll always give some freebies during festive seasons lah.. this time give coffee in nice bag ah?? all these while i heard people get mandarin oranges.. good lah, pay for the toll (for nothing) must get more freebies from them.. haha!! :D
DeleteI don't buy things because of freebies la! I buy when I need only, if got freebies then it is a bonus gift to me. Unless I like the freebies very much, then I will purposely buy the thing because of the freebies.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I know someone who buy things because of freebies, Ah Hua is one of them. Heheheh!
