Well, i told her. I did not understand as well that when i was a little girl. Mom would go to certain supermarkets to buy certain things only, and she always bought in bulk. I asked the same questions...
Now i understand, it's because some of the things that we consume a lot every day, eg: MILO, they normally have a fixed selling price. When there is a special discount of RM1 or less, of course mom would go for it, if you were buying 12 packets, you could save RM12!! isn't it a lot??
Well, of course super rich people out there won't bother, but to many people every single cent counts!
Now, that i am married and a mother, i am very sensitive to the price as well!
But, there are only 2 things that i pay attention at>>>> MAMIPOKO diapers & MAMIL GOLD milk powder!! Normally at RM52.80, when it is RM48 or less, what would you do??? Autumn needs 3 or 4 a month and imagine how much can i save???
Paying for my 1 dozen of milk powder at the counter.
Normal price for the Mamipoko Diapers are RM37.90 per packet, it is fixed. There is only 1 shop at Tabuan Jaya is selling it at RM36.90, but i hate going to that rude and stupid shop! They always stopped people at the entrance, telling you that you have to leave your bag ant the counter outside!? What law is that?? Yea, well i know there are people who bring in Giant bags and steal things!! but, come on??!! Me? do i look like a thief? WTF! that's why i never want to go there and buy things.
So, back to Mamipoko.... Whenever there is a special discount or sale, they would publish in the newspaper! Mamipoko:
Shopping for Autumn's MAMIPOKO again, coz it's cheap!
Wow! It's on sale! Then i would rush to that supermarket and buy as many as possible, normally 6 packets, and it can last about 2 months. Well, almost every month or every 2 months, there will be discount at different places. You just have to pay attention to the news advertisements on Friday or Saturday when your stock level is low....
That's what i do.... you'll save RM30 each time when you buy 6 packets! isn't it a lot???
LOL...Bare with me, i'm a housewife!!! That is what we will pay attention to... :)
