With the price of essential goods increasing at an alarming rate, many are looking for discounts that allows them to save the most.
However, a recent ‘Super Saver’ offer at a supermarket has left netizens stunned over how misleading the promotion was and the actual amount one’s able to save.
‘Super Saver’….not!
In a post by the Facebook page 我们是马来西亚人 We are Malaysians, a certain supermarket displayed the ‘Super Saver’ promotion at the canned food section.
According to the pricing, the original price is RM6.50 for a can, while under the ‘Super Saver’ promotion, customers can look to pay only RM12.99 for two cans.
So…how much would customers be able to save? Let’s do a bit of basic maths here:
Normal price: RM6.50 x 2 = RM13
Super Saver price: RM12.99
If you were to subtract these two figures, the amount you’d save under this promotion would be 1 cent. How’s that super savings at all?!

Netizens equally as baffled
Unsurprisingly, the promotion left netizens speechless and rolling with laughter over how ludicrous it was.
“Buy 2 save 1 cent. Imagine if you buy (a) trillion, you save 5 million (Ringgit).”

Some also pointed out that customers will still have to pay the full amount of RM13 as the 1 cent will be rounded up in the receipt.
