As i turned my car into Tesco Extra's car park earlier this evening - it somehow seem weird that the car parks availability were in abundance. I was wondering if Tesco Extra was closed for stock check etc. It just seemed strange coz Penangites LOVE SHOPPING!!!! *even if its just for GROCERIES! * So what could've gone wrong? I dont recall Economy downturn affecting the spending power of Malaysians-- at least not the Penangites i know - And so i happily swerved into the first car park spot that caught my eye.
Some of the shelves were empty - i thought oh well, its already 930pm so perhaps they'll just replenish the stock tomorrow. After hubby and i got all the stuff we wanted, i finally realized why there weren't many people in Tesco Extra today! its MONDAY!!!! In line with the Penangstate government's campaign to reduce usage of plastic - each plastic bag will be charged at 20 cents each! Darn~~ How could i have forgotten!?!?!?! No wonder~ Penangites wanted to save $ ( instead of saving EARTH!! ) I looked into my shopping cart and told hubby, darn, let's buy groceries another day coz i dont wanna pay for plastic bags!! NOoooo!!! Why would i when i get them for free if i shop on any other 6 days of the week!!! oh WHY oh WHY did i have to go grocery shopping on a Monday evening?? *sigh* Hubby said - You!! I thought you said u like to be environmental friendly? just buy a reusable bag!!! yes i Ought to be ashamed of myself!!
After the gentle reminder , i picked up the 99 sen Tesco reusable plastic bag! ( coz that's the cheapest reusable bag ) BUT - In case u didnt know, it comes with a LIFETIME REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE!!! =D If its broken/ torn - simply bring it back to the customer service counter and get it replaced!! GREAT DEAL RIGHt??? Due to the amount of groceries that we bought - 1 bag was not enough. So i picked up another one that the cashier recommended to me. A Tesco designer gunny bag with lady birds on the side = its at RM6.99 and its also coming with a lifetime replacement guarantee, plus it looks cute too!! I can use it for other stuff and its not Plastic!!! =D Hubby said we need more bags and i say - nah just fit them all in- it Comes with LIFETIME GUARANTEE!!! If it breaks , we get free replacement anyway!!! KAKAKAKKAAK Yes, im cheap!
Pls support 3Rs - Reuse, Recycle and Reduce! Bring your own shopping bag the next time you're out shopping! Thats what i'll do from today onwards *hopefully*
