jaskel 2 Report post Posted May 26, 2010 I'm scratching my head over the cost of the stainless steel countertop for the kitchen.. 1 contractor quoted me $1,800 for 15ft of stainless steel countertop. The other quoted me $950 for 14 ft. That means the first quote is abt $120 per ft while the other is only $68 per ft! So is one too cheap or the other too expensive? I think I will quote u $2800 for your S/S countertop....is it too ex.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

curryqueen 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2010 (edited) was thinking of going to philips carnival tomorrow ... hope parking is ok there ... Somethings ok.. I didn't take note of their TVs and other stuff since I was focusing mainly on the soundbar. But I don't think the other stuff were really cheap. Eg. Philips steamer was selling at $100 (from $179) but I know that the Tefal steamer sells at $99 and I think it's better coz it has a flat-based container whereas Philips didn't. I bought a Philips DVD player for $39 thinking that it's cheap. Then I went to Courts and they had those limited sale items for Samsung DVD player for $27! Get the soundbar though.. I think it's really worth it! It's abt $200 cheaper. Reading gimz/baby's T-blog made me wonder if I should've bargained at Courts for my display piece of F&P fridge and washing machine (like that did for their wm). I'm not the bargaining type..always feel very pai-seh, just ask if got discount or not... if dun have, just "orh" and keep quiet. I think must train my skin to be thicker so that can save $$ Edited May 29, 2010 by curryqueen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blueocean 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2010 Hmm .. Philips steamer for $100 ? Are you talking about those food steamer ? I bought one about 2 years ago out of curiosity but havent used it regularly. I rather just steam the stuff in the wok ... the traditional way. I have a broiler and that is the most frequently used appliance - i can use it to cook fish fingers, chicken .. almost anything. Did you get the soundbar ? The blu-ray soundbar looks good. It looks like there is move towards blu-ray and DVDs will become the standard VCD we have now. The shops now have more shelves stocking up on blu-rays .... Somethings ok.. I didn't take note of their TVs and other stuff since I was focusing mainly on the soundbar.

For me, I used the steamer all the time when I was living overseas. With the steamer, don't have to watch the fire.. can go bathe or do other stuff first. My soundbar is not the blue-ray one..got the one with normal DVD playback... Edited May 31, 2010 by curryqueen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
