NTUC behind time - $1.99 set meals when 1 cent coins no longer exist

[Confuseous]

One cent coins have been out of commission since 2002, incidentally a time when Woman Entrepreneur of the Year 2000 Nanz Chong’s ONE.99 shop was considering raising prices of all items to $2. First set up in the Heeren, Orchard Road (circa 1997), ‘$1.99 for everything’ was a shrewd, ballsy gimmick at the time (Everything at $199 – in the heart of pricey Orchard Road? 6 July 1997, ST). That business eventually folded, though many other factors such as copycat competition may have brought the budget concept to its knees other than giving up on a ‘magical’ price tag. I personally wouldn’t buy my kitchenware at a TWO DOLLAR SHOP, though I would patronise a $2.99 store because of the illusion of ‘value’ that the numbers create, even if that doesn’t make any rational dollar sense at all.

rewording N T U C, it would spell C-U-N-T.

CUNT is another hypocrite. do their grocery and etc cheaper? definitely NO! then what is the purpose of having a smelly CUNT a favorable advantaged position?

$1.99 is a form of hypocrisy when they could just price it $2. they pricing it $1.99 so that in theory it's "cheaper" than $2. the 1c difference to CUNT is as big as the bullock cart's wheel!

that's how NTUC should be spelled: C-U-N-T!

I thought the lowest is 100 yen shop. Yup, the variety is wide and quality of products not too bad either. Anyway, there's Daiso in SG. $2 per item right?

i shall state this probable copyright phrase b4 any minitoot could rant about it especially cuming from CUNT's lim suay suay.

1c saved fr per patron would total up alot of profit loss by CUNT in one day. if u add up the total numbers of months which add up to total numbers of years, CUNT would have made every patron save alot! dun you feel very rich patronising from CUNT? i feel so much richerer now, u know *wink, wink*
