Free Food, Well, Almost Anyway ...

There is some justice in this world afterall. Wifey told me a little while ago that Ramiele was booted out of American Idol. She was one of those on my prediction list that I posted about on Spiff's blog, though the other two predictions I made to join her in the bottom three were totally off the mark. Oh well, you can't win 'em all ... LOL! And I'm glad she was the one who got kicked out. She was by far the weakest of all the contestants and she was getting a tad bit on my nerves with her 'cute-cute, sweet-sweet' behavior! LOL!

At least the 3 guys that I'm rooting for looks to be heading in the right direction with their mind numbing (ok, maybe not mind numbing la ... hehehe) performances, especially Michael Johns. I'm sure most of you would have caught their performances last night so I need not elaborate too much or else you guys are probably going to suffer through my mind numbing long winded post instead ... hahaha ... so I'll spare you guys the headache :D

Anyway, I really wanted to post about something even more mind numbing today. This afternoon (yes I bummed off a little longer for lunch), wifey and me went and did our usual weekly grocery shopping at our nearby favourite neighbourhood hypermarket. We hate going when there's crowds and this arrangement works pretty well.

As usual, we walk through all the isles and start picking out the stuff we need. We normally have a set pattern of how we shop starting with the toiletries, laundry detergents, etc, etc and end up in the vegetable and poultry section last. We basically buy more or less the same amount of things that we know the price by heart and we'd be the first to complain if the price went up, which it does on occasion.

But this time, we got the shock of our lives when we went to the fresh vegetable section and discovered they were selling all the fresh green stuff there for only 10 cents per pack! When wifey told me, I couldn't believe what I heard. I just had to go there and look at the price with my own eyes and true enough, it read 10 cents for a pack of fresh vegetables! And they were indeed fresh, not wilted, rotten or stuff like that.


Man, I was flabbergasted. What in the world can you buy for 10 cents these days? Practically nothing at all, well, maybe 2 sweets, but that's about it. And here, they were selling fresh vegetables at 10 cents per pack. Now I know why I love this hypermarket. Overall, on normal days they already sell the cheapest products compared to their three main rivals and now they're selling vegetables at 10 cents, practically free. I could just go and kiss the owner of the hypermarket ... LOL!

So wifey bought 2 packet of something called urrmmm, water spinach. Well, that's what is says on the label, I'm no good at recognizing the different types of vegetables. I can't tell the difference from spinach and cauliflower ... LOL! We should have bought more of those practically free vegetables though but we tend to not cook all that much at home and it would just wilt away in our fridge, not that it would matter cos it was only 10 cents, but we don't like wasting food.

And that wasn't all, we're huge egg eaters at home, well I am anyway. And the usual egg price per tray of 30 is around RM8.34 to RM8.99 (I think) but today they were selling it at RM6.85! It's not nearly as good as the 10 cents vegetables but it's good enough for me. Normally I'd be complaining about the prices going up, but no such complains from me this time. The cheapest these guys have sold the eggs were RM3.99 per tray of 30 a couple of months ago and you should have seen the amount of eggs I had in my house then. It would put a chicken farm to shame ... LOL!


Sometimes life can work out just fine and give you nothing to complain about. I've always been loyal to this particular hypermarket and with the prices they have, I've become a lifelong fan :) The first time they opened, I didn't really like them all that much and used to shop with their rivals next door until one fine day I decided to 'check' the place out and after comparing their prices, no one beats them in giving the best deals. And since then I've never gone anywhere else to do my grocery shopping. I don't normally promote someone else's business but today I will. If you want to save on your shopping bill, then by all mean, please do your shopping at Mydin Mall, USJ Subang Jaya ... LOL! Or at any other Mydin Mall near your place for that matter.

Oh and before I sign off, if you're a cat lover, then I suggest you check out this site called MyCatsHeaven.com cos they've got all sorts of stuff to pamper your little kitties such as something called a cat tree that I'm sure your cat is just going to freak out over. But hey, don't take my word for it, go and check it out for yourself :)
