3 packs...an invention of the evil capitalists and one that this country could do without. Go to the 0.5-2RMB shop if you don't want 3 packs...where all my possessions come from.

Use re-chargeables and save the planet...or something

Thank you AMG it is indeed a conspiracy and what about 3 RMB for a bag of Lays potato chips. Are these 2Y shops like dollar stores??? Never seen em but I live in the sticks.

Toto?? Guru my man you need a vacation. Wink

Yup Gerard, these 2 yuan stores are the Chinese equivalent of dollar stores, or Poundland and the likes where I come from. We're got a fair few here in Henan and there were also some good ones in Harbin when I lived there. I buy all kinds of plastic goodies, stationery and prizes for my students (I'm a tight cow). They have a generic tape blasting out that says something like 'kan yi kan, kan yi xia, yi yuan chao shi'.
This is the girly version of needing to get more as well.......lemme out!!! In July???? I'll have dug under the perimeter fence by then.

AMG may lay claim to being a COW but she is no party animal like me!
