Homeplus to kick off major Chuseok sale Thursday, with samgyeopsal at 990 won per 100g

Homeplus will launch a large-scale discount event Thursday, one week before Chuseok.

The retailer announced Wednesday it will hold its second "Homeplus is BACK" campaign, offering discounts on about 3,600 products including samgyeopsal, pork neck, Korean beef, eggs, fish and fruit. The event follows a Chuseok price-stabilization campaign that began Sept. 10.

The sale is open to MyHomeplus membership holders. At physical stores, the popular "Bomeokdwae" pork — raised on barley — will be sold at half price from Thursday through Sunday, with samgyeopsal and pork neck priced at 990 won per 100 grams. The 50 percent discount applies to all Bomeokdwae cuts. Korean beef will also be available at up to 50 percent off across all cuts, with grade-1 and grade-1-plus beef brisket for soup priced at 3,300 won and 3,400 won per 100 grams, respectively.

A 30-pack of domestically produced fresh eggs will be discounted by 2,000 won when paid with a promotional card. Fhira Norwegian fresh salmon — both grilling and sashimi cuts — will receive a 50 percent members-only discount. A 4-kilogram box of Shine Muscat grapes and a 3-kilogram bunch of Campbell grapes will each be discounted by 5,000 won with a promotional card payment.

Nine varieties of tofu, more than 30 types of oyster sauce and soy-based condiments, more than 10 types of yogurt and flavored milk, and more than 20 types of pasta sauce and noodles will be offered on a buy-one-get-one basis, as will 10 Coca-Cola beverage products. From Thursday through Sunday, more than 20 types of ketchup and mayonnaise, all pizza products, and all hot dog and pork cutlet products will also be sold on a buy-one-get-one basis.

Foods needed for ancestral rite preparations and a variety of Chuseok gift sets will also be available.

"This goes beyond simply discounting popular products — we have completed restocking more than 3,600 essential items," a Homeplus official said. "We have prepared a wide range of products, including key food items and Chuseok ritual goods, at strikingly low prices."
