Everyday Low Prices

Have you ever wondered about when Hypermarkets, especially, tout their everyday low prices, will there come a day when the prices get lower and lower that the goods will be free finally one day?

Well, call me weird but I have thought of that and wondered if the day will ever come. Of course I know that what they mean about everyday low prices are that their prices are lower for selected items and they have lists of products that they rotate so that they have good baits for their shoppers every day.

Despite their every day low prices, hypermarkets in my hometown are not doing that well. For the past year, a few have been taken over by other companies who are in the same business. What does this mean to us consumers? Monopolization! And so wherever you go, you'll be getting the same goods at the same price.

Oh yeah, Cold Storage is back again but I haven't the time to check it out yet. The location they have selected is rather convenient but I wonder why previous hypermarkets have not survived. As far as I remember, Cold Storage is the fifth tenant or so.

I hope I have the chance to check it out before it changes management!
