Dear Sir,

The public has just enjoyed a year of an extra 5 per cent off on their groceries when they shopped on a Wednesday at MarketPlace, Supermart or Lindo’s. Thank you.

I would further like to thank Arnolds, Supermart and MarketPlace who continue to provide healthy discounts on their produce.

Fruit and vegetables typically do not have a large marketing budget to draw upon, yet these companies encourage people to purchase these items by giving regular discounts on a variety of different items each week. MarketPlace in particular even has local produce on special.

Well done, that is a triple win: the farmer has a reliable customer, the consumer is encouraged to eat well and save money, and MarketPlace get loyal customers who look forward to their specials.
