Last week, we were in the City Hall area at about 9pm looking for a late dinner. We decided to pop by Chippy only to find that they were closing for the night, so we wandered into Jasons Market Place in the basement of Raffles City. Jasons is a gourmet supermarket, so we weren't really looking for anything budget... which is what makes this experience such a delightful one.
As we passed the salesman in the section that was selling roasted meat, he called out to us, "50% off!" So we thought, "Why not?" We live for good deals.
We pointed to a honey-glazed chicken steak (usually $4.00) and a bratwurst sausage (usually $1.80). Instead of getting a piece each, the salesman stuff two chicken steaks into a paper bag and charged us $2.00. He did the same for the sausages, charging us 90 cents for two.
That's how a good deal turned into a great deal! $2.90 for two chicken steaks and two bratwurst sausages! Yum!
Most supermarkets that sell cooked food tend to try to sell off their stock near closing time. It's a great time to go for The Supermarket Date. Some bakeries such as Delifrance also practise this, offering deals such as 20% off, or 3 buns for $2.00. It's a great time to pick up something to eat... which also makes you think: what do other bakeries do with their food that they cannot sell off in a day? Do they sell it to you the next day?
