sbst275 SG

dragg, now reminds me of this

The batteries you say ex at NTUC, 1 key reason being they beri funny, Energizer go sell "Max" series instead of the cheaper "Alkaline" series Wink

sbst275 SG

Guess what I have found out?

NTUC and other supermarkets sell only the Energizer "Max" that is 2x the price of the normal yellow card "Alkaline"..

Hence, Eveready is classified as for "normal" usage, replacing the Alkaline series. So that's where the supermarkets take advantage and mark up higher Shocked

Why on earth are they selling the "Max" series when ppl just use the normal ones? Rolling Eyes

Gonna make feedback to them, and ask them abt selling the 1 card of 4 batteries

I only buy batteries from SLT.

sbst275 SG

I see

But must also feedback on selling the yellow Alkaline series... Cos me dun like to use rechargable ones Confused

If you really dig deep, you will find that most stuffs are marked up pretty high, not just for NTUC.

If they sell and earn a few cents, might as well don't sell.

That's the prob with many ppl mindset thinking

Actually do you know, provision shop only earn $0.20 from you for 1 packet of Nescafe 3 in 1 that cost you $4.50? Mr. Green
