✓ Mention a product or item that surprised you when you saw it in the supermarket
I didn’t expect to find Malta fruits in this supermarket. It really surprised me because this place is mostly known for furniture and household items. But seeing the fresh Malta here made me happy, because it’s one of my favorite fruits. Maybe the shop keeps it for customers who enjoy picking up some fresh fruits while doing other shopping. It also adds an extra option for the customers, making their shopping experience more complete and enjoyable.
