I am not the type of person who saves up coupons given out by supermarkets for purchases that reach a certain amount; these coupons are in turn to be used to get goodies. NTUC Fairprice, the largest supermarket chain in Singapore, changed all that. I never thought that I would imbibe the Singaporean trait of joining the jostling crowd for a good bargain.
Coupons given out for the last three months or so were for a certain range of glass cookware, and they looked great. So, for the last three months I bought all our groceries over at NTUC Fairprice supermarket to accumulate as much coupons in exchange for cookwares. Yesterday was the last day for giving out coupons and they could only be exchanged until 18th of August.
Just imagine the scramble and hustle going around at redemption corners in one store. It was fun when you share the excitement with friends; when you can’t find the item that you want in one store and move to another; when that item goes on stock and you went to a branch wherein they don’t have it; and thanks to friends who have coupons and willingly give them to us because they’re not that much interested or had a few extras.
