I went to Superstore in Coquitlam yesterday in hopes of getting Halloween chocolates for half price. Got there 5 minutes after they opened. Every year, they have chocolates for half price, so I was pretty sure to get them at a pretty good price. And, for those who say the chocolates spoil after a year are full of it. If you store them properly, they stay fresh.

Anyway, I left pretty disappointed........ frugal Asian walks out empty handed. That's okay, that store is going through renovations and they are having problems with their computers. I got a 10 lb bag of flour for free, because it scanned through as the wrong price - win! Oh yeah, they did reduce the chocolates as I was leaving, but only by 30%

I phone the Grandview store this morning to see if chocolates were 50% off and sure enough, they were. And, they had a lot left. When I get to the Coquitlam store, I had dude at customer service scan to see how much they were. Still only 30% off. I told the guy I phoned the Grandview Hwy location and it was 50% off. Dude says, "Yeah, just let the cashier know that I will authorize 50% off of all chocolates." I was okay with that, even though the original price was higher than anywhere else, except Safeway.

I get to till and young girl there says, "Yes, they are half off." I check the bill afterwards and guess what? They took 50% off the sale price. WIN!

120 pieces Coffee Crisp, Kit Kat, Aero box cost me $5.25! That's less than 5¢ a piece fellow frugal Asians.
