HOW COME THINGS NOWADAYS SO EXPENSIVE ONE?
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!
Bro, You’ve been cheated for sure…
Cweelee: Yalor! I don’t know what special polymer this bucket (list) is made of. Hmph.
What a rip off! geeezz…
Morale of the story:
Glance the prices before paying. ^.^
julian: Indeed! The audacity of charging RM 22.90 for a normal plastic bucket. :S
Shirley Snow: The broom and mops were reasonable so I didn’t look at the bucket price. > .
Wow! It costs just as much as a KFC Bucket! :)
If you still have the receipt, would suggest you bring it back for refund.
Whoa bro! You kena con big time man! 18 bucks can buy 3 bottles of beer from KK Mart already!
PJ Old Towner: The shop doesn’t believe in issuing receipts. :S
I’ve used it already anyway. Oh well.
Marlboro Guy: I know! Can buy 5 liters of Dynamo for my washing machine too. :(
how much would that ca. be in $ or € ?
u kena tipu ah? what and how big is the bucket?
Printing error? LOL. Maybe it only cost RM 2.29.
I tot KFC bucket so cheap… dang
Ahhh.. a gold plated bucket with camouflage effect. No wonder so expensive. Hahahaha…

lev: It’ll be about USD 5. It’s quite expensive for a bucket over here. :)
jolene: It’s a regular sized bucket! It was from a DIY hardware shop so I imagine they tend to mark up their prices. :S
Simon Seow: Haha! It won’t be that cheap, this shop is quite expensive.
superwilson: How much is a KFC bucket anyway? I forgot, been a long time since I got one. :)
maggot: I shall scrape off the plastic coating and harvest the gold inside! :)
kohping: Gah! Ya, I saw the VERY SAME PAIL for RM 4.90 just at the convenience store beside this place. :(
did you buy the 22Rm bucket!?!?
jg: Yes, unfortunately I did. I didn’t realize it was so expensive until I bought it. :S
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 :)
it must have came with a bucket of gold, but u were obviously too late! ha ha ha!
Kiran: Yeah…oh well, at least my condo is REASONABLY clean. ;)
Yiling: If it came with a bucket of gold, I’ll have PROFIT-ed. ;)
