Barilla Spaghetti - Price Difference

What a difference in Price!

Ma-in-law called me and told me that the Barilla Spaghetti that I use is cheaper now at $2.90 at NTUC. The price for this brand have been going up from like $1.30 to $2.75 to $3.30 when wheat got more expensive.

So the next day, I quickly went to NTUC.

Along the way, I passed by Shop-n-Save to check it out too - wow, the price is $4.45! - that's really expensive! Did my MIL see salah or not?

My MIL was right, it is $2.90 at NTUC - it's on promotion till end of April.

Why the vast difference? It's $1.55 difference!

Hubby think it's becos NTUC bought it at the old contracted rate from the seller and once the stock from the old contracted rate's finished and a new contract signed - it will be more expensive as wheat is more expensive now and I think, most probably will be selling the price quoted at Shop-n-Save (not very "Save" leh).

And yes, we bought at least 10 packets to stock up..... ya, I know, kiasu......

Dog Show

26 April 2008

Came across a Dog-Competition at the mall near the Indoor Stadium.

So cute......


Saw this 'funny' dog in polka-dots - hmm..... I prefer those big dogs.



This guy is waiting for his cue to put his dog thru the paces - like obeying his order to stop, walk, run, jump etc...



Wah, I like the husky.... that's the dog's breed - I said husky, not hunky.

Wholesalers Frozen Meat and Others

12 April 2008

My in-laws found out about these 2 places and so we decided to check it out.

Seems these 2 places sell whole-sale prices of frozen meat like beef, pork, lamb and chicken. And indeed it is cheaper than the supermarket.

This one called Q.B. is bigger and sells more stuff.
You can find premium cuts of beef like the 'wahyu' (did I spell it correct?) beef, very nice rolls of pork tenderloin, pasta, cheeses, desserts, different kinds of hotdogs, fish like salmon, prawns, scallops, premium grade of the dory fish and others........

Q.B. Food Trading Pte Ltd

8 Chin Bee Crescent, Jurong
tel : 6261-6120

This is the much smaller one which is just next to Q.B. Sells mainly meat stuff. Got a pack of pork bones (for soups) for only about $1.00!

BH Fresh Food Pte Ltd

6 Chin Bee Crescent
tel : 6268-3056

If you don't mind buying frozen stuff, then you should go to these 2 places cos the prices there are definitely much cheaper.

Car Inspection at Sin Ming

03 April 2008

Hubby : you want to follow me for the car inspection?
Me : (hmm.... is this a dream?)
Hubby : you want to go?
Me : huh? wah, so early (isn't this your job to do it leh?)
Hubby : you better come with me so that you'll know what to do if you have to do it one day.
Me : ok, ok, let's go.



This is to check if the brakes are working :


Testing exhaust emission :


Printing out the test results : FAILED! The front wheel alignment failed the test - have to get it re-aligned and re-test and of cos, pay again (cheaper price for re-test).
