i am so annoyed with my normal supermarket options--yes, i mean rustan's fresh, metro ayala, and sm, and their various permutations and outlets (ace hardware, metro dept. store etc.).
being in the middle of renovating the house we are moving to, i bought a bunch of cleaning supplies last week, including scotch bright mop heads (just the heads, as refills, i still have the mop handles).
i thought nothing of purchasing them at metro's department store because their prices for such thing were pretty similar to my other shop options, give or take a few pesos.
the yellow mop head cost Php204, the blue & white one was Php234. imagine my annoyance when, JY supermarket being the nearest quick choice at the new place (and i was searching for a broom and dust pan), i chanced upon those two things: yellow was Php159+ and blue & white was Php179+
that's a difference of over 40 per item! gah! they were not old stock, and those where their srps. what's up with the difference then? fortunately don't need new ones all the time, but seriously, i am appalled at the waste.
time to investigate the JY supermarket more closely then.
