There is no law that states that notice has to be given before prices are jacked up. :rolleyes:

Price of MacDonalds went up, this means the economy is doing well.

If you drive, you can load the boot with bags of groceries and food supplies. If you take the bus, can hand-carry one bag of your favourite food. :wink:

Yep, I already go to JB for makan & to relax. I've room for some peanut butter.:smile:

Most of the food products you buy nowadays belong to a handfull of suppliers. They have acquired smaller competitors and now they are in a position to dictate price.

If you go to Joo Chiat NTUC now, they have a promotion for Pillows and Bolsters.

It says "XXX" pillow. Up $88 Now $49 and "XXX" Bolster. Up 77 Now $39.

Knn, I have been to this NTUC almost everyday, but never seen them selling this brand before.

So where is "Up" price from ???

I am quite sure this amount to "cheating" regardless whether they have been selling this brand in other branches. Where is CASE?
