Sale and Money

Mega Sale is here again but I have to say it's not so hype like previous years. I guess because Malaysians are so used to the word 'Sale' all year round that the Mega Sale doesn't shine like it used to. Almost every month Jusco has some kind of sales and so is Isetan and few other shopping malls. Hypermarkets such as Giant, Mydin, Carefour and Tesco are not leaving behind too, where they have weekend promotions for household and food items. Well, from a financial point of view, I think it's a good thing. Consumers buy household items at cheaper prices amid the world financial and economic are still frigile. It's good to be careful. A few cents saving can go a long way. In fact these promotions and sale help boost our economy. The continunous buying and selling activities are important to maintain our economic stability.

Well, I hope Mega Sale is truly a biggest sale to attract Malaysians and tourists. I do hope consumers are not cheated by profiters taking advantage of this event. It's meant to be a price reduction for current products not clearance stocks. It's not for businesses to put a fake or mark up original prices and apply a discount which end up the actual price of a merchandise. Beware of these trick because it happened before so shop wisely. Make sure you know the original price and it's better to shops at places you often visit and know the prices well. As for me, I'm shopping for Raya and Christmas...yeah I know it's a bit early but why not?
