Do your math!
While doing my grocery shopping a few weeks ago in Jaya Jusco Queensbay Mall, I discovered this:


Did you get it the first time? (by the way, all the different flavors of nasi goreng packets cost the same, i.e. 55 cents a packet)
Let me paint a clearer picture for you:
1 packet of Fried Rice mix = 55 sen
1 *value pack* of Fried Rice mix (consisting ot 4 individual packets) = RM2.40
Huh?
It doesn’t take someone with an honors degree in Mathematics to realize that it is definitely more economical to buy individual packets huh?
So be WARY when purchasing in bulk. And DO NOT be deceived.
*Updated: I checked the price the following week and apparently they have repriced the value pack at RM2.20 now, but they forgot to remove one of the RM2.40 price tags.
