Marketing Trick from UK Supermarket (T)

This post is from my previous blog. I find this quite funny, therefore I would like to share this wiht you.

Back to Summer 2008

My friend and I went to supermarket today. My target is to get enough snack which can last for a week = ).
While i was doing my shopping I found some funny stuff. It is about the trick they do on the bargain product.
I believe that many of us always assume anything with Yellow/Red label on the supermarket are the product that worth to buy, (E.g. bargain product, lowest price/ cheap...etc). But is it really worth to buy the product which is on Yellow label?

I took some picture yesterday on the biscuits section of one of the largest supermarket in Abingdon in Oxfordshire. Let's have a look and see if you find the prices is a bit funny.

Bargain 1


3 for £2 (69p each)
Bargain 2

3 for £2 (71p each)
Bargain 3


3 for £2 (94p each)
Final

3 for £2 (58p each)
After watching the picture, would you think I am a bit silly?

Let's do some maths, shall we?
£2 = 200p

Barage 1:
69P x 3 = 207 p
which is 7p cheaper than the original price.

Barage 2:
71P x 3 = 213 p
which is 13p cheaper than the original price.(which sounds better = ))

Barage 3:
69P x 3 = 282 p
which is 82p (a lot) cheaper than the original price.(It almost close to buy 2 get 1 free)

Final:
58P x 3 = 174 p
which is 26p MORE EXPENSIVE the original price.
Not sure if some people will actually buy 3 of them and end up with paying more, then they should.

This story tell me not to just trust the Label, but also think about if that is what I want to buy and not to just see a yellow label and assume they are a lot cheaper than before ...etc.

If you want to see this Label in person, if you are in England, you can go to any of Tesco Supermarket and the biscuits section, which should have a lot of biscuits have a label about Buy 3 for £2. You may be able to find the 58p one.
(* the discount will be finished on 1x Oct 2008 (I cannot remember which day, which should be 12-14...etc, maybe you can find it from the Picture = ]))

The one that I took the picture from is in Abingdon, Oxford.

Have fun.

Gourmet Houses' Chocolate 飛機上的朱古力小食

之前我試了在搭飛機去英國時派的朱古力

他應該是 香港一家朱古力公司 Gourmet House LTD 出品的

這個朱古力給我一個高貴的感覺(可能時金色的盒子吧)

在盒上寫了 朱古力是瑞士出產的 當然是香港生產/製造
如果對這間香港朱古力公司有興趣, 可以按這條URL瀏覽 網頁

http://www.gourmethouse.com.hk

打開盒子只有2粒朱古力
一黑一白

我試了黑色這一粒 (我不太喜歡吃白朱古力 = P)

吃下去的感覺是
他有三層

最外一層比較薄和趣
之後就有一層牛奶朱古力
最入的一層應該是榛子味的CREAM
和kinder 繽紛樂 入面的醬差不多
算是幾甜了 (對我來說)
我個人覺得這朱古力總算是OK
可能他的其他產品會比較好食
可能這是飛機上的小食
所以試過便可以了

Oyster Mushroom Crisps suitable for vegetarians (Health Choice)

Today I would like to recommend crisps for you (Oyster Mushroom Crisps Wasabi Flavour). I felt that crisps are a bit healthier than normal crisps as it is not that oily. On the package it said it has No Trans Fat, No Cholesterol, No Artificial Colouring and No Preservative Added.
Normal crisps are made from potato, but this one is made from Oyster Mushroom.
The taste of wasabi is not that strong, so you probably won’t feel the spice of it. Not like the wasabi on Sushi or wasabi seaweeds…etc. I think it is not only suitable for Vegetarians, it also suitable for children as well.

It is quite special, you must try it out : ). But if you do not like the smell of mushroom, you may not like it then.

Package


Inside the package. It does not look like normal crisps




That is what Oyster Mushroom look like.

Print Document to PDF, Print without a printer

當你到一d 網上shopping既地方，突然間有d重要文件要print/做record(e.g. 有d online 既invoice, 收據等等既資料)，但好可惜咁佢無一個history 既feature 比你follow up 返你張單，
係呢個情況， printer 就係其中一個好有用既工具了。

但係手頭上又無printer 喎！咁點算呢？
我相信有唔小既網友都有遇過呢d 既問題，
當然我亦係其中既一分子。
所以今日想介紹3隻都好實用既免費軟件比大家

第一隻係名叫做PDF creator

當大家安裝好這個software既時候，
個printer & fax 既地方就會多o左一個icon 叫做
pdf creator。

每當大家想將d文件轉做pdf 時候就可以係用緊既application 度按print ，之前選擇 pdf creator 當然最後要比返個filename呢個document 先得la！

想了解多d 呢隻software 大家可以用下面呢條link
http://www.pdfforge.org/products/pdfcreator
大家可以到以下呢個website 去download o黎用

http://www.pdfforge.org/products/pdfcreator/download

另一隻software 我e+ 都用緊既就係cutepdf la。
大家可以到以下呢個website 去download o黎用
http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp

呢一隻同pdf creator的用法係差唔多的，
都係做一隻virtual printer，
但係安裝時就要做多一個step。
如果係第一次安裝你可能需要安裝一隻叫做ghostscript 既東西。
但pdf creator 就一個install package 搞掂曬。

2隻software 大致上差唔多，
pdf creator 就可以比多d 功能大家。
例如可以對某d 格式加d setting (e.g. jpg,png等等)
這樣就可能令到個pdf 既大小同quality 都會唔同d。

cutepdf 就未有呢種功能。
pdfcreator 有一個問題，就係暫時都未完全support windows Vista。
