CU Holds Monthly 'Ssuepo Sale'... "Stabilizing Shopping Basket Prices"

Carefully Selected Popular Products from the 1st to the 11th of Every Month

CU announced on the 30th that starting next month, it will launch the enhanced ‘Ssweoper Sale,’ which offers stronger purchase benefits such as +1 giveaways to contribute to price stabilization and support customers' smart shopping.

The newly introduced Ssweoper Sale is a separate event from the existing monthly giveaway promotions. It runs from the 1st to the 11th of each month at CU, featuring carefully selected popular products with three main themes: ▲+1 giveaways ▲4-pack and 6-pack beer bundle discounts ▲limited-time special prices.

In the first Ssweoper Sale, CU offers a total of 91 promotional products, with more than half?48 items?available as 1+1 deals. Additionally, there are 18 items with 2+1 offers, 18 beer bundle discounts, and 7 limited special price products. This is the largest quantity of items ever offered in a CU period promotion. The 1+1 and 2+1 products cover a wide range of categories, including frequently purchased items such as bottled water, snacks, instant rice, carbonated drinks, as well as household goods like detergents and feminine hygiene products.

Beer, which sees a significant increase in demand during the summer, is discounted by about 30% regardless of domestic or imported brands. The 6-pack bundles are reduced from 16,500 won to 12,000 won, and the 4-pack bundles from 11,000 won to 8,000 won. Representative products include Gompyomil Beer (6-pack), Tsingtao (6-pack), Somersby (4-pack), Tsingtao Draft (4-pack), and Tiger (4-pack). Limited special price products are discounted up to 50% off the regular price. For example, the bundled bottled water product, Isis 8.0 2L (6-pack), is sold at half price, from 11,700 won to 5,850 won. Popular side dishes such as half-smoked chicken and seasoned scored pork skin are available at 30% and 20% discounts, respectively.

To celebrate the launch of Ssweoper Sale, a prize event will also be held. Customers who purchase products during the event period and participate in the PocketCU stamp event will have a chance to win prizes such as Samsung The Freestyle (1 winner), LG StanbyME (1 winner), and LG PuriCare Objet Collection Aero Furniture (3 winners). Winners will be announced in mid-next month on PocketCU.

Furthermore, beyond general merchandise, a ‘Grocery Ingredient Discount Event’ will be held next month, offering either an additional product or up to 30% discount on common ingredients such as ham, tofu, and yubu (fried tofu skin). Throughout April, CJ domestic soybean tofu (2 types) will be offered as 1+1 deals, and from the 1st to the 11th, CJ stew tofu (2 types), CJ Yukgongyuk pork belly barbecue (pepper), Harim chicken breast, and Salami Original & Cheese will be available as 1+1 promotions.
