Someone in the management of Park'n'Shop has clearly gone mad. They have decided that what shoppers really want is reductions on all "yellow label" products (please don't ask me what a "yellow label" product might be, but there are a lot of them).
The problem is that a large number of these reductions seem to be a nominal 10 cents. Am I meant to be impressed when something is reduced from $54.70 to $54.60? Because I'm not. Worse than that, I noticed one product that was previously sold at $10.00 but is now marked down from $11.70 to $11.60. Er, hang on...
As ever, it pays to be alert when shopping in Hong Kong supermarkets.
I find it rather hilarious that I can pick up a bottle of Taylor's Fine Ruby Port at Taste in Festival Walk, Kowloon Tong (Watson's Wine Cellar -- a division of the Li Ka-Ching! group, as is Park N' Shop) for $99, and yet the local PNS has it at $155 (on sale from $159! Woo!).
If you don't do your homework, you'll get screwed every time.
