Bargain Hoarder
Hard to resist a bargain even if (or if its) in the bargain bin especially since the items are still in good condition.
If a retailer sells something cheap but it's not in a good condition or it's already expired then the retailer is being irresponsible and must be reported.
But there are good retailers, selling items cheap, very cheap... months before its "Best Before" date. I LOIKE.
And if I'll probably hoard some for stock if they happen to be the stuff I use.
Like this powder Gatorade. Bought only two bottles though as it's Best Before April 2014.
I've "borong"ed a carton of RM1.50 Gatorade earlier and a few at RM1.00 too. Long time to expire at they are Best Before 30/6/14.
Always am a lookout for bargains, me! ^^

It is really worth it to buy it when it is a bargain. Yeah just like you said, it is still in good condition. I agreed with that. As long as it is not expired ( we still have a few months for us to consume). Just like I buy butter for my bakings.
ReplyDeleteTaken your lunch? wish you have a lovely day Lina!
DeleteYeah, we just have to be smart and selective about it. :)
DeleteWell, if still safe to take, sure a great bargain we cannot miss!
ReplyDeleteIf it's not safe, then it's our duty as consumers to make sure it's taken off the shelf!
DeleteThat's a good bargain...
ReplyDeleteYup. sure is :)
DeleteI bought something from 1 Malaysia...which said beli satu percuma satu. When i ate it at home...the food was already spoilt.
ReplyDeleteDid you complain?
DeleteAs I said, not many retailers are responsible about their near expired products. We consumers have to be smart, right?
I only trust a couple of them to buy bargain items.
Mak Glam!!! you know what?? after i saw you posting this on FB the other day, i went there to try to find these Gatorade.. and guess what??!! only 2 tubs left!! must be this bargain hoarder named Lina who has grabbed almost all of them~~ :p
ReplyDeleteNo lah... after I hoard, still got 4 tubs left.
DeleteThere are other hoarder apart from me! LOL
Ni must be gang Lina la...lol...I go there no more left :p
Deletebut second thought, expiry date on 21/04/2014.. i don't actually consume that much lah, that means i have to force myself to consume that everyday for the sake of getting it done by the expiry date.. and actually for RM14.99 i didn't really want to fork that out lah, maybe i'd just happily get a bottle from that "1 tin = RM1" machine at RM2 when i feel like drinking any :)
ReplyDeleteTrue also.
DeleteFor me, a tub can habis in one month, easy. Plus I have no qualms consuming it after the date. Muahaha
best before date...still can eat even if after the date leh, SK. Not Expiry date.
DeleteMe also will hentam eat punya...those chocs...in the fridge if after the best before date i will still eat
Same here. Even if after best before/expiry date... There are some I still use. Sniff touch see lick before consume tho. Lol

DeleteI know I have same thoughts like you to buy near expiry goods. I would still eat expired stuffs at home while my wife would scream & throw them outa windows!
ReplyDeleteSK is another perfect freak who would not buy barang lama.
Me too. Must train stomach not be so manja in case of darurat :-D
DeleteI think Guardian will start their Warehouse Sales again this week at One Utama. Sometimes they would clear funny items from other planets that caught my eyes!
