The Rising Cost of Food and the Solution from Chosun Membership Mall
Food prices have been on the rise recently, with consumer price inflation hitting its highest point in one year and three months last month. This increase has been particularly noticeable as the kimchi-making season approaches in November. However, there is a way to ease the financial burden for those preparing for this traditional activity.
The Chosun Membership Mall has introduced special sales events aimed at helping members manage their food costs. These include the ‘100 Won Deal’ and ‘10,000 Won Happiness’ promotions, which are designed to make essential ingredients more affordable for households.
Kimchi-Making Special: The 100 Won Deal
Next week’s ‘100 Won Deal’ is specifically tailored for kimchi-making. On the 11th (Tuesday), Daegwallyeong Horticultural Agricultural Cooperative will offer 10 kg of salted napa cabbage for just 100 Korean won. This high-quality product is made using clear water from Pyeongchang and domestically produced salt, ensuring the best possible quality for your kimchi.
To complete your winter preparations, you can purchase additional ingredients such as red pepper powder, salted seafood, green onions, and garlic according to your preferences. Once you have these items, your kimchi-making process will be well underway.
Due to high demand, the salted napa cabbage will be shipped on the 12th and should arrive around the 13th. It’s important to note that specific delivery dates cannot be guaranteed. Before purchasing the ‘100 Won Deal,’ make sure to check the parcel receipt schedule.
In addition to the cabbage, boiled pork is a popular snack to enjoy while making kimchi. On the 13th (Thursday), 1 kg of Handon’s grade 1 or higher front leg meat (whole) and pork belly will be available for 100 Korean won each. Choose your preferred cut and purchase it to enhance your kimchi-making experience.
The 10,000 Won Happiness Promotion
Looking forward to the next Friday (the 14th), the ‘10,000 Won Happiness’ promotion will feature 2 kg of U.S.-produced Choice grade LA galbi. This premium cut comes from the 6th to 8th sections of a cow, known for their abundant marbling and ideal for grilling.
This section of the cow is often referred to as flower galbi, where the marbling is most evenly distributed throughout the meat. The promotion offers an excellent opportunity to enjoy high-quality beef at an affordable price.
Timing and Participation Details
The ‘100 Won Deal’ and ‘10,000 Won Happiness’ promotions will take place at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m., respectively. If you miss the morning sale, don’t worry—there will be another chance during the afternoon time slot. However, only members of the Chosun Membership Mall can participate in these special sales.
