1. SSG Day Period & Key Benefits (Date-Specific Strategy!) 🗓️
SSG Day runs for 11 days, but not all discounts apply equally. A strategic approach based on dates is necessary!
- Overall Period: **October 30th (Thursday) ~ November 9th (Sunday) / Total 11 days**
- 🚨 1st Concentrated Attack (Offline E-Mart): **October 30th (Thursday) ~ November 2nd (Sunday) / Just 4 days!**
- Key Point: This is the period of the 'essence' of SSG Day and where the most dramatic discounts pour out! 1+1 deals, up to 50% discounts, and special offers on fresh foods and daily necessities like **Hanwoo (Korean Beef), pork belly, king crab, eggs, ramen, and detergent** are concentrated during these **initial 4 days**! (Insider info from a former supermarket MD, this is the real deal...👍 If you don't snag popular items during this period, they won't reappear even if you wait until November 9th!)
- Especially meat products and fresh foods must not be missed during this period.
- 2nd Attack (Online Channels): November 1st (Saturday) ~ November 9th (Sunday)
- Online malls like SSG.COM, Gmarket, and Auction will run additional promotions focusing on time deals, electronics, fashion, and living items. Look for electronics, digital products, or fashion items that are hard to find offline during this period.

3. 💳 "Discount on Top of Discount!" Affiliated Card & Additional Benefits Pro Tips!
The true masters of SSG Day shopping maximize their discounts by stacking them! Don't be disappointed by just looking at the price tags!
- 1) Affiliated Cards (Absolute Essential!): 🌟
- Major Participating Cards: Major domestic card companies like **Samsung Card, Shinhan Card, KB Kookmin Card, and Lotte Card** are heavily involved. (Hyundai Card, BC Card, NH Nonghyup Card, etc., may also be included. Check tomorrow's flyer and in-store notices!)
- Benefit 1️⃣ '50% discount on full payment with affiliated card': For core products with the most dramatic discounts like Hanwoo, king crab, and certain electronics, you absolutely must pay the full amount with the specified 'affiliated card' to receive the benefit!
- Benefit 2️⃣ 'Billing Discount': Some card companies offer an additional 'billing discount' of **up to 50%** on the payment date! Since this is a benefit provided by the card company itself, it can be applied in conjunction with on-site discounts. Make sure to check your card company's app/website for any SSG Day related billing discount events!
- 2) Simple Payment (High Chance of Combination!):
- Utilizing simple payment systems like **SSGPAY / KakaoPay / Naver Pay** can offer an **additional 5-10% instant discount** benefit.
- Pro Tip: For example, if you **register an affiliated card (e.g., Samsung Card) with SSGPAY** and pay, you might be able to get a **three-combo** discount effect: 'on-site discount' + 'simple payment additional discount' + 'card billing discount'! (This can vary by store or item, so it's essential to confirm at the POS before payment!)
- 3) Shinsegae Point (Do Not Miss!):
- You won't get half of the SSG Day benefits without the Shinsegae Point app/card! 😭 Many fresh foods like pork belly and LA galbi are discounted only when 'Shinsegae Points are accumulated/presented'.
- Also, don't miss out on the additional accumulation benefit of up to 10% of the payment amount!
- 4) Sold-Out Zero Coupon (Amazing System! 👍):
- For popular items like pork belly/neck that sell out incredibly fast! It would be really frustrating if you visited on the first day of the event and couldn't buy them because they were sold out, right?
- In such cases, don't panic! Get a **'Sold-Out Zero Coupon'** from a store employee! With this coupon, you can repurchase the item at the **same discounted price** between **November 3rd and 12th**! (This is a smart strategy from E-Mart to minimize customer inconvenience!)
4. 🏃♀️ "When Should I Go?" Successful Shopping Pro Tips!
Here are the ultimate pro tips for successful SSG Day shopping!
- 'Open Run' is the only answer: For core special offers like Hanwoo, king crab, whiskey, and specific popular electronics, the answer is to **'open run'** by **10 AM (supermarket opening time) on the first day of the event (October 30th)**. If you're even a little late, good products are likely to be gone. (This is insider information from a former supermarket MD!)
- Pre-fill Online Shopping Cart: If you plan to purchase online from SSG.COM (SSG dot com) or E-Mart Mall, **add items to your cart right now!** It's important to be ready to simply click the payment button at exactly 0:00 on October 30th at the discounted price. The server can be overloaded, so prepare in advance.
- Familiarize Yourself with Flyers and Apps in Advance: Thoroughly read the E-Mart app or flyers available at the store entrance tomorrow, and perfectly plan your shopping route and list. (If you wander around in confusion at the store, others will snatch everything away!)
Only once a year! The legendary shopping festival '2025 Republic of Korea SSG Day' unfolds for 11 days! 🥳
Especially the E-Mart offline event, held for **just 4 days from October 30th (Thursday) to November 2nd (Sunday)**, is a 'golden timing' that must not be missed.
I'm off to stock up on Hanwoo for soup, domestic pork belly, and a year's supply of daily necessities like detergent and toilet paper! (A robot vacuum cleaner is also lingering in my mind... 😅)
