Oh man, i’m so freaking bored.

#1 killer module to study for is histological techniques! goodness. can you imagine the 584769604of  names of connective tissues/carbohydrates/mucins/lipids. let alone the different kinds of dyes that are used to dye and differentiate these tissues. omgwthBBQ! bleah. ;( nothing is bloody going into my brain lah, i want to faint now! :’( how to go for the paper on monday!

okay side track.

anyways.

when you guys go to the supermarket to buy your shampoos/shower gels. do you people get their refil pack or do you get the one in the bottle form? to me, the purpose of having refill packs is to be more environmental friendly in a way (correct me if i’m wrong), in a way you save more plastics. so i suppose and assume (and i believe many people do), that those refill packs should be cheaper, right?

but hell no, you’re wrong if you always think like that. a couple of weeks ago, i went to Carrefour with my parents, and my momma wanted to get this Biore xx series showergel. without thinking, she just took the refill pack, assuming that its cheaper, like many people do too. and when i saw the original packaging with the bottle, i paused and took out my handphone to calculate!

usually the refill has a slightly smaller amount of contents compared to the bottled ones, so logically they will have cheaper/lower prices compared to the bottled ones. so don’t be cheated! always check!

i mean, being environmentally friendly, yes. but, to all the hassle of pouring the refill pack into the bottle, and sometimes making a mess out of the whole thing, and end up getting lesser contents due to leaking out of the bottle or what nots. (i always cannot get all the contents into the bottle no matter how you try to ‘flatten’ the refil packs- some contents lost already) whats worst is you’re paying more for getting less showergel/shampoo and for all the trouble. why are you so hard on yourself right!

i don’t know if its a miscalculation by the supermarket itself, or is it the problem right from the manufacturer, resulting in the higher pricing for refill packs. sooo, do some simple calculations before you buy things! :) they can save you some $ as well as lots of trouble!

:D
