Alternatively, such customers may win a reward of a gift voucher equivalent to 15% of the value of their purchases instantly at the cashier’s counter.

The nominated brands for the promotion are Munchee, Ritzbury, Tiara, Surf Excel, Astra, Dove, Signal, Comfort, Pringles, Heinz, Happy Cow, Turkey oil, Anchor Gold, Milo, St Clair’s Tea, Coca Cola, Harpic, Lysol, Cinthol, Goldi, Finest, Sam’s Sausages, Todlo, Panda Baby, Soft Love, Kohomba, Rani, and Dimo LED bulbs, Maskeliya, Dankotuwa and Elephant House ice creams.
