Auntie's char siew story
An auntie wanted to buy ony $2 of char siew to do her fried rice at home. The stall owner said a minimum of $3 is required. After some bargaining, the auntie won. Before she left the stall, she also asked for a few packets of chilli sauce.
Uncle's ABC stout
An uncle ordered a can of ABC stout to go with his peanuts. Coffee shop assistant delivered and asked for payment of $3.80. The uncle exclaimed that it is so expensive and swore never to return. After he paid grudgingly, he turned to other patrons and earnestly reported on the prices of the same can of Stout sold at NTUC Fairprice for $3.20 and at nearby hawker centre for $3.40.
Moral of the story
Our young ones should too learn the value of money. We need to appreciate our own hard earned money and not to give them away so easily.
We have to make a fuss over paying too much for something, yes even if it is over 10cts. Unless of course, you can afford it.
