As prices soar, even cheap rice noodles and mixed rice have become uneconomical, making it even more difficult for workers to choose their three meals a day.
Recently, a Malaysian woman posted two photos on the X platform with the caption: "When you are very poor, go to this supermarket. You can buy rice for RM3.90 and a hamburger for RM5."
From the pictures she posted, we can see that the bento boxes in this supermarket in Malaysia are quite affordable, which also made netizens discuss that is it cheaper to go to the supermarket to solve the problem of food than to go to the night market?

From the content posted by the original poster, we can learn that the bento boxes in this supermarket are affordable, ranging from RM3.90 to RM9.90, and has a variety of food. In addition to fried rice and baked rice, hamburgers and Japanese bento boxes are also available, among which the Japanese bento boxes even include fried shrimps and fried fish fillets.
The most important thing is that the portion of the bento is not too small. If you don't have a big appetite, one portion is enough to fill your stomach.
The woman's post immediately sparked heated discussions among netizens. Some asked the woman from which supermarket she bought such a cheap lunch box, while many people said they had already known about the offer.
According to everyone's comments, you can actually buy these discounted bento boxes as long as you go to the supermarket after rush hour, especially after 8:30 p.m., when many foods will be discounted by 20% to 80%.
Afterwards, a male netizen expressed his opinion on this post, saying that in the past, if people did not have enough money, they would go to the night market; but now if people do not have enough money, they go to the supermarket. Times have really changed.
