Buy Cheap Provisions in Chennai

This time am with ideas of buying best and cheap provisions for personal home purpose. Did anyone thought why big giants are pondering into FMCG products and start supermarket. Major players like Reliance, More, Food World, Nilgiris and who not... every one are into supermarket. Simple reason, they procure goods centrally from manufacturer and distribute, which makes their purchase cost at down the earth prices and gain more in FMCG goods.
All these supermarkets play well by giving promotional offers, attractive gifts, reward points, membership cards, discounts, but anybody thought how they make profit out of this? simple the MRP mentioned in the goods are the maximum and they sell at this price, which is 5%-20% more than the actual purchase price.

We have many retail shops who sell the same FMCG product, same brand, same weight, but at a different price,   less price than MRP. How can that be possible for them? How do they make profit out of that? Very simple, they do not expect 20% profit instead they look for minimal profit.

As a resident of chennai, I have explored many provision stores in and around chennai and looks like we have to be more careful in spending our hard earned money. Am sure government cannot take any action on this, atleast let us be careful in this.

Below given example is from my own experience an am not urging you to take up my steps. But if you find this article useful, do reply to me with your comments.

Every month I purchase the below items in Jeyachandran Stores (near Tnagar railway station) and this is what I save. The price listed below are as of 14-Apr-2011.

GRB Udhayam Ghee (MRP: 180) - Rs.158, almost 15% less
Udhayam Dhall - 10% less than MRP, Example Rs.80 Udhayam Thoor Dhall is only Rs.72
Pediasure - 15% less
Soap, Paste, Washing Powder, Detergents, Provisions - everything is 10% less than MRP
Oil - 5% less than MRP

Readers please note, this shop is in the most crowded part of TNagar and 80% of the people do not wish to visit and buy from here. Again purchase ONLY branded products from here.

Till now I was promoting Jeyachandran, now more about the wholesale market in Chennai. Parrys or George Town are the places where you get all products in wholesale price, i.e., very very less. but problem is you have to travel a long distance and the money you save is spent for Auto or Bike or any other mode you travel.

So readers, start thinking and start saving... Happy Saving :)
