I once saw SS 2 big bottles around $10. Just grabbed coz they'd my charcoal mint.

can please explain the meaning from that last few words of that sentence in bold? tia

 

[deathan9el]

I was in JB so went to look. About a dollar off SS price, from AEON, and they even had the small cans. Jaya Grocer @ RnF didn't have the curry one last week I looked.

Think I mentioned to you before, that brand has a charcoal mint one that's good for hot weather, very refreshing after using it to shower. That's practically the only thing I buy from that brand.

I think it's Ayam brand... there's a chili mackerel that I like, not cut chili (that's barely spicy) but fried mackerel in solid chili sauce (not blended till dead flat). That, has only small cans... last I saw the price was over $2. I found and got a couple from the JB mart as well, but can't remember the price...

lose out lor lol

SS staff are very "helpful" to ask you to get something that is on promotion because I believe they have incentives if hit certain sales target for the month.

That's why they always tell me toilet paper got promotion, rice got promotion, oil got promotion....

I told them I use **** gun to spray after poopoo, so my toilet paper can last very long

The outlet I went to has about 6 or 8? Selfcheck counters and sometimes has 2 to 3 staff jaga the counters. V fast response staff when u need help, unlike ntuc sometimes they show black face.

No queue when I went yesterday, probably due to rain. The free item was flag out on screen and 2 staff came and one went to pick up free items one help me to pack when I was paying.
