True. Some of the stuff are actually more expensive
Eg can get $1 drinks from 7-11 but minimart selling for $1.4
I only go minimart for the convenience or if they carry some niche items like old school tibits and instant noodles
if wan to get near by easy then get chop by them
if wan to go far then can get cheaper

End of an era :flash:
