Butter!


I almost got a heart attack when i saw the butter's price last week.

Instead of $3.05, it's now $4.50 at least per block for President and Lurpark. It's a 50% increase at least!

Because i use butter quite a bit, i hurried down to a shop downtown when i had chance and got myself a ....



BOX!

at $4 a block.

For 20 blocks, i'll save $10.

Worth it?

Nope.

Because just 2 days ago, i saw Lurpark selling at $10.50 (roughly) for 3 at NTUC, a packaging which i thought had ceased for good since i didn't see it on the shelves for almost a year already.

Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thankfully i didn't purposely go to town just to get the butter. It so happened that i was nearby when i got it. But still.... ggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Yeah, go ahead and laugh at me!! Especially you! since that very second when i smacked my forehead.

Lesson of the day : no more help-the-husband-save-money attempts!
