Steal of the Day

Ok, not really a steal, but more of an amazing deal.

I was in Home Plus Express picking up food - since I've imposed the eating out ban on myself for this month - and was planning to get peanut butter. Every day  last week at work I saw one of my coworkers eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich during breaks, and since then I've been craving them. Unfortunately, peanut butter is expensive here - easily 5,000-6,000 won, or more depending on the brand and if it's organic. Jelly is also kind of expensive, though I don't buy that quite as often.

Anyway, I was looking at the peanut butter, and I saw this:


You know, the peanut butter and jelly combo in a jar. For 2,210 won! But the really strange thing was that this amazing price was only for the grape one. They also had it with strawberry jam, but that was 6,900 won (as was the regular peanut butter). Which made me wonder, why was it so cheap?

The expiration date was still far away, there was nothing aesthetically or physically wrong with the jar...a misprint? But no, it was definitely only 2,210 won.

There were only three grape ones left, so I went ahead and got all of them. One of them went to my boyfriend since he also likes peanut butter and jelly.^^
