HONG KONG – As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, Wellcome Supermarket has unveiled a week-long promotion running from September 25 to October 1, 2026, featuring steep discounts on traditional festive staples such as glutinous rice dumplings, frozen wild-caught white shrimp, sweet grapes, and assorted beverages. Shoppers who are yuu members and spend a minimum of HK$30 per transaction can also enter a daily lucky draw for a chance to win 1.4 million yuu points—a prize worth roughly HK$14,000 in store value.
The promotion aims to help families prepare for the reunion dinner with ease, combining essential ingredients and ready-to-cook items under one roof. With Hong Kong’s festive season often driving a surge in supermarket foot traffic, Wellcome’s offer positions itself as a convenient one-stop solution for last-minute shoppers.
Festive Favorites at Discounted Prices
Among the highlighted items are Little Ningbo Black Sesame and Peanut Tangyuan and Wanchai Ferry Stone-Ground Black Sesame and Peanut Tangyuan—both traditional glutinous rice dumplings commonly served as a sweet dessert after the reunion meal. Another featured product is Ayi’s Eight Treasure Bag, a ready-to-heat dish packed with auspicious ingredients, ideal for adding variety to the dinner table.
For seafood lovers, Indonesian frozen wild-caught white shrimp is available at a special price, offering a fresh, versatile protein that can be steamed, stir-fried, or grilled. The meat is known for its firm texture and natural sweetness, making it a popular choice for festive cooking.
The promotion also covers snacks and beverages, including:
- Sweet Earth seedless grapes, crisp and juicy for a refreshing palate cleanser.
- Kam Mei streaky bacon slices and sandwich ham slices for quick sides.
- Tao Ti 6-pack tea drinks, along with 8-can packs of Coca-Cola, Schweppes, Sprite, and Fanta.
- Martell VSOP (Hong Kong edition) for those who wish to toast the evening with cognac.
Wellcome notes that all promotional items are available while stocks last, and some products may not be included in online orders.
Exclusive yuu Member Lucky Draw
Beyond the discounts, Wellcome is running a limited-time lucky draw exclusively for yuu members from now until October 29, 2026. To participate, members need to spend at least HK$30 in a single transaction at any of the six participating yuu partner merchants—including Wellcome, Market Place, Jason’s, Oliver’s, 7-Eleven, and Mannings.
Each eligible transaction grants one draw chance, and members can earn up to six chances per day across different merchants. The grand prize of 1.4 million yuu points is drawn daily, meaning there are multiple opportunities to become an instant “million-point” winner.
The offer does not apply to certain online store purchases, and full terms and conditions are available on the yuu app and Wellcome’s official website.
Planning Your Mid-Autumn Feast
For families looking to maximise their savings, the promotion window aligns perfectly with the peak grocery-buying period just before the festival. Here are a few practical tips for shoppers:
- Stock up early: High-demand items like tangyuan and shrimp may sell out quickly.
- Combine purchases: Use a single HK$30 transaction at multiple yuu merchants to maximise daily draw entries.
- Check store exclusives: Not all prices are uniform across branches; some locations may offer additional in-store discounts.
Broader Impact on Festive Spending
The Mid-Autumn Festival remains one of Hong Kong’s busiest retail seasons, with supermarkets often reporting double-digit sales growth on festive staples. Wellcome’s dual strategy—discounts plus a high-value points lottery—reflects a broader trend among retailers to blend immediate price cuts with long-term loyalty incentives.
As inflation continues to affect household budgets, such promotional campaigns help ease the financial burden of holiday preparations while encouraging repeat visits. For consumers, the key takeaway is clear: timing matters. Shoppers who plan their purchases within the promotional window can enjoy both savings and a shot at a significant points windfall.
All promotions and prices are subject to the latest announcements from Wellcome Supermarket and official channels. While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy at the time of publication, availability may vary by location and online platform.
