Malaysia Mega Sale Carnival 08

Today both our daily newspapers, "The Star" and "New Straits Times" have a special edition called StarSpecial and A New Straits Times Special respectively. Both special editions highlighted the Malaysia Mega Sale Carnival 08 which is back this time from today, 5 July till 1 September 2008. StarSpecial quoted on their front page as 'The Bargains Are Back!' while A New Straits Times Special quoted Malaysia Mega Sale Carnival 08 - It's Back! There are a lot of prizes to be won during the carnival ranging from cash, free AirAsia air tickets (Gold Coast) to car. For more information on the carnival, go to http://www.malaysiamegasale.com.my/. With the increase of fuel price which have resulted prices of other goods to go up also. I wonder weather this round mega sale carnival will have a good response since most people are now very prudent when come to spending. I think despite the increase, shoppers will still shop during the carnival as it will be an ideal time to enjoy the discounted prices instead of spending more during the non-sale period. Credit cards are expected to be used widely (Buy, buy, buy, sign, sign, sign, but when statement comes die die die lah). As for me, it has been a long long time I have not done any shopping at shopping malls. Being a homemaker now, I do most of mine household marketing (shall I call it shopping also) at the morning market and shophouses near home.
