HOW COME THINGS NOWADAYS SO EXPENSIVE ONE?

expensive bucket

It is housecleaning day and I went to stock up on a couple of essential supplies – mop, broom, bucket, the works. I didn’t exactly check the price for all the items so when I went to the cash register the amount shocked and awed me. I inventoried the items and found the offending article – this RM 22.90 bucket.

WHAT KIND OF BUCKET COSTS RM 22.90?

On a side note, I saw the same bucket being sold for a mere RM 4.90 at a nearby convenience store. Hmph!

    If you still have the receipt, would suggest you bring it back for refund.

  4. Gosh! Certainly a rip-off! Sadly there is no return policy on purchased merchandises in Malaysia. That is the thing i would miss the most about US when I leave for Malaysia πŸ™‚
