"Enjoy Smart Shopping During the Golden Holiday"... Retail Industry Food Discount Events

Homeplus Express will hold a 'One Day Only' event on the 11th.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] The distribution industry is preparing large-scale food discount events to attract customers during the Hangul Day holiday.

According to the industry on the 9th, Emart will hold discount events on food and essential daily necessities until the 13th. Until the 11th, domestically produced autumn fresh wild pine mushrooms will be sold at discounted prices when paying with event cards. Although the supply of wild pine mushrooms has decreased due to adverse weather conditions such as the late heat this year, causing auction prices at production sites to rise about 1.5 to 2 times compared to last year, Emart will sell them 30 to 40% cheaper than market prices through prior stockpiling.

Fresh blue crabs will be discounted a total of 40%, with 20% off when accumulating Shinsegae points and 20% off when using event cards. Seasonal persimmons and apple jujubes, which were very popular last year due to their high sweetness and crisp texture, will also be offered at discounted prices. About 30 essential daily necessities such as seasonings, toilet paper, dish detergent, and toothbrushes will be sold at about half price.

Homeplus Express will hold a ‘One Day Only’ event on the 11th. It will be conducted through 335 Homeplus Express stores nationwide and Homeplus Express online, offering popular products that customers frequently purchase at special prices.

In this event, My Homeplus membership customers who purchase ‘Samgyeop-Moksim Pair Event Products’ such as pork belly, neck meat, leafy vegetables, peeled garlic, and ssamjang for more than 20,000 won will receive a 3,000 won discount. Customers who add Homeplus Express as a KakaoTalk Plus Friend and purchase products worth more than 30,000 won will receive a 3,000 won discount coupon, and customers who purchase more than 30,000 won with event cards will receive a 4,000 won discount coupon.

Lotte On will hold the ‘What to Eat When You Play’ event at Lotte Mart Mall until the 11th. Random discount coupons ranging from 5 to 30% will be issued, and holiday food-related products will be sold at up to 30% off. Representative products include Australian grain-fed chuck eye roll, ISL Australian Tasmania skirt steak, and Australian Wagyu upper sirloin, all sold at discounted prices. Uijeongbu-style budaejjigae, mille-feuille nabe meal kits, and crispy salads will also be offered.

A Lotte On official said, “We anticipated that concerns about food would increase during the holiday, so we planned an event proposing delicious food centered on meat and meal kits, which have high demand during the holiday period,” adding, “We hope this event will solve the three meals a day food worries and make the holiday happy.”
