There's always cash for cheap branded goods.




























The Cineleisure, Kota Damansara 11am. I was on the way to the IT Centre to purchase my 1TB hard disk when I saw a huge crowd.

What was this? Why is there such a long line. Is there someone from American Idol or maybe Najib was around. Went closer and discovered the the source. Warehouse Clearance Sale - ZARA, Massimo Dutti etc. Malaysian's will always have money for good bargains regardless they need the product or not.

I'm sure it is of good value. In fact the current economic crisis have forced many companies to be very innovative with their pricing. McDonald's began the game, and within a short period Wendy's, KFC followed suit. Even Starbucks is offering a great bargain, coffee and small sandwich for less than RM 8. How will the mamak stalls survive this price war (just joking. I'm sure they will)? Who will win in the end? At this moment I think its the consumers. Looking forward towards more warehouse sales and lunch time bargains.
