MR BIRD FLU, U SUX!

Thanks to the return of bird flu, currently we have an island-wide shortage of EGGS. You won't be able to find dozen of eggs in supermarkets tat easily, anymore.

One of the major supermarket has implemented a policy: You can buy eggs from us if you spend more than ten dollars in a single receipt. Heck, what's tat supposed to mean? If I only want to buy a tin of sweet corn and a dozen of eggs, I gotta get more items to top it up to ten bucks in order to complete my shopping list?

I think this supermarket benefits in both ways. For one, they can control the limited stock in their inventory. Two, they are able to earn more profits by making customers spend more for the sake of eggs. My mom bought a dozen from another market recently. It costs S$2.90. Can you believe that? During the norm, we only throw in less than 2 bucks for it! Mom grumbled that was the cheapest in the rack and there weren't much to choose from.

Sigh, I'm an abusive egg-eater and this is obviously killin' my appetite!
