Milk Powder Shopping
Jun 13th, 2007 by jesslyn
08/06/07, Friday - Lyon’s milk powder stock level very low, I think can last for 2-3 days only. So after work suppose to go to Chinese medical store to grab 2 packets. However after work feel lazy, go home straight, coz I was thinking to buy on Saturday as I am off.
09/06/07, Saturday – totally forget about her milk powder. Noticed the milk powder will finish by tonight, when I realized it, it’s already 10pm, most shops or Guardian also close shop lor. Die lor, what if mid-night she suddenly wake up and ask for milk? So far she sleeps through the night la. Pray hard she will not ask for milk and told myself, tomorrow first thing in morning must go and buy!!!!
10/06/07, Sunday – 7am, she wake up and ask for milk!!!!! Wow, my goodness! Usually she wakes up at 8-9am, how come today so early??? Die lor, no milk, how??? No choice, I mix Wien’s milk powder for her. Hopefully she will not notice it! Phew….lucky she finish the whole bottle!!
9am, I think the shops should open by now, quickly drive out to shop for her milk powder. Can you believe after I went to 4 Chinese Medical Shop, none of them have Enfagrow milk powder in shelf!! I am totally shock and surprise! How come like that? The shop owner told me that Enfa salesman said this milk going to have new formula, add one more ingredient dunno call what! New ingredient, new formula…..meaning to say that Enfa group milk going to UP price lor! This is their all time favorite marketing technique. *sigh*
So, couldn’t find Lyon’s milk, how? Now I have to wait till 10am, wait for The Store or Guardian to open shop. Drive back to home and have my breakfast first.
10am, drive out to The Store, also cannot find single pack or single tin of Enfagrow. This time really make me nervous, I have a feeling Guardian might not have stock too! I think you must be thinking: why you never stock up manyak manyak at home??? Haih, not that I don’t want but I keep forgetting to buy extra pack after left one pack at home. I am old now! While on the way to Guardian, I spotted another Chinese Medical Shop, I try my luck again. Guess what? Hehehe….they have plenty of stock, and I grabbed total 4 pack of them (super kiasu now). The owner also shock when I told him I couldn’t find single pack around Tangkak town.
12/06/07, Tuesday – since I am free after work, I went to Chinese Medical Shop to check whether Enfa really UP price. Yes, the price is up….up about 8% in total. So 1.8 kg of Enfagrow will be about RM70 per tin now! Wow Wow Wow…even more expensive than our 10kg rice!
MIL commented why you don’t change the brand now, since Lyon already can accept Wien’s milk that day! Okok, I will re-consider now…looks like MeadJohnon going to loss one customer very soon!

Usually we stock up one dozen, enfalac A+. Going for EnfaGrow after my daughter finish up the remaining 3 tins.
yes enfa price up by RM3 for refill packs. I just got mine, old packing, KL got alot.
change sustagen lah…not bad. i’m mixing for both my kids, morning sustagen, night enfa
Yeap, the market ran out of Emily’s milk once. I went to couple of shop also don’t have…so geram. Usually I stock up whenever it is on sale.
No need to go for expensive milk powder if Lyon can take other brand. Enfa is really expensive.
My girl is taking Essential, much cheaper than Enfa and I can’t see any different between the two.
Hey.. Jess,
Chloe drank fresh milk after she turned one years old.. and she loves it..
I also just change my boy’s milk powder from Pediasure to Sustagen and now Enfakid.
