This morning, after sending my car for a wash, hubs and I went to do our CNY shopping at a nearby mini mart. I love shopping at this mini mart as it carries a wide variety of fresh produce, organic food stuff and Japanese food stuff. Prices are reasonable and the fresh produce as well as dairy products are fresh.
Here’s part of our loot in the car – total of 9 boxes of ‘gold’ (Mandarin oranges)
Part of our loot at the check-out counter…
The oranges in the rectangular box are from Japan and they are so joyfully sweet and juicy! The best that I’ve ever tasted thus far. But a bit pricey at RM64.88 a box for 12 oranges. Whatcha expect, flown in from Japan what. But it’s OK la, we only eat this once a year.
Mandarin oranges and fresh fruits galore. So many to choose from, I so wanted to buy all the fruits there!! I LOVE fruits and can survive on a fruits, veggies, nuts and eggs diet. One day, I’ll turn into an ovo-lacto vegetarian (vegan who eats eggs and dairy products), yes I will! Lately, I am cutting down on meat quite a bit.
These pretty big apples printed with auspicious Chinese meanings caught my eyes and I bought some to be given away to the girls’ teachers. They are sold at RM10 for two.
CNY is the best time to reap some quick big profits for shopping malls and supermarkets while it is the worst time for us consumers. Many of us are still recovering and reeling from the year-end celebrations and back-to-school expenses and now, money is flying out again inevitably! Hopefully the God of Prosperity will pay us a visit this year and reward us with a big bonus! I promise I’ll do good, lots of good deeds 😀
