Covetous of small gains

Shopping malls often carry out some activities, including big promotion at the end of the year, stocks clearance big sales, great holiday discount ect. I have little doubt concerning the prices for these activities.I wonder whether the discounted price will be lower than other malls or not. Whether they increase the selling price first and then to reduce it.
 
Such as some sort of biscuit, mall A usually sell at RM13.90 and reduce to RM12.50 on promotion. But mall B usually did not promote and the selling price just only RM11.90. Imagine the two shopping malls in the price comparison. Will you choose mall A to buy that barrel of biscuits during the promotion?  

However, not all prices of goods in mall A are relatively high. And sometimes some of the goods will be lower than mall B. This is the way businessmen operate their businesses. Consumers should learn their own shrewd.
 
There is a situation when you purchase, you are sure to know the benefits. Is that when we buy the goods we often bought, now the price is the same as usual, but this time there are gifts, or its component has increased. As I bought yesterday a few goods that way.

This time to buy a box to have 2 free sachets

Covetous of small gains is the nature of everyone. To gain that small advantage, consumers are necessary to often run the various shopping malls in order to compare the prices. They have to do some homework.

19-21 Jun -It's Eu Yan Sang (EYS) member's day. Went to EYS yesterday night for last minute shopping, wow, there were many last minute shoppers too. 

At first, only both essence of chicken and bak foong pills in my shopping list, but end up grabbing some more other products, including the PWP (Purchase with purchase) products that I hesitated.

Here's the good deals: 

1) Essence of chicken with Ginkgo biloba extract - RM 120 for 4boxes 
    (Normal member price is RM 42.29)

2) Bak Foong Pills - RM 166.21 for 2 boxes 
    (Normal member price is RM 98.69)

For every purchase of RM 100 can get 1x PWP item. Here's 3 items I have selected:

I'm not a regular customer of EYS, the deals during member's day is still consider good because normal member discount is only 5%. Normally they have better deals for selected items during Chinese New Year, Mother's/Father's day, birthday offer and member card renewal promotion. 

If you are not free to drop by at the shop, you can place order in their website http://www.euyansang.com.my/, for purchase above RM 80, you will get free delivery.

Ikea - everybody's favourite place?

It's school holiday now, I wanted to get something from IKEA to decorate the room yesterday. I wonder, ummm...it's weekday, may not be so crowded as weekend. Without any hesitation, I've decided to head to IKEA after my lunch. 

Phew...I managed to get a parking space just in 3 mins. Well, there were still a lot of visitors around, mostly are family, but it was not as crowded as weekend. I was relieved because I don't have to squeeze with others. Well, when I have chosen all that I wanted, that's time to pick up the items. OMG, I saw the queue at the counters which even longer than weekend. 

Looks like IKEA is one of the places that attract Malaysian to hang out with friends and family, and not only to shop, they also famous with their swedish-style restaurant and please expect to queue if you want to go there. Price is reasonable. 

You can get 3 hours free parking if you spend in IKEA. (Exclude restaurant). Just present your parking ticket at the counter and you will still need to validate your ticket at the parking machine before you leave.
