> Quick view: Emart's October 2026 PWP poster went up on its promotions page on 5 October and runs from 1 to 31 October. Members who spend RM120 on one same-day receipt at 12 Sarawak outlets can buy one item from a new 18-line list at a fixed price, from RM2.99 (EMY kitchen towels, 3 pieces) to RM33.99 (Nescafé Blend & Brew 3in1, 100 sticks). It does not apply at Goceli, any Emart Express, Emart Batu Niah or the Sabah outlets.

What changed from September

September's poster (1 to 30 September, 18 lines topped by a 1.8kg Milo refill at RM34.99) ended on schedule. For the first days of October there was no monthly poster at all, and the RM120 PWP lived only in the strip at the bottom of the weekend flyers. On 5 October Emart added a new card to supermarket.emart.my/promotion: "PWP PROMOTION", dated 01 Oct 2026 to 31 Oct 2026, tagged to the same 12 outlets as August and September. The poster's wording is unchanged word for word: a minimum storewide purchase of RM120 (members only) in a single receipt lets you purchase one (1) of the listed items at a special price, and only same-day receipts count.

The list is new again. None of September's 18 products returns. Three things stand out:

  • Cooking oil stays, under a new brand. September's Red Eagle 5kg at RM32.99 (about RM6.60 a kilo) becomes Knife 5kg at RM31.99 (about RM6.40 a kilo). Different oils, but the PWP price is a ringgit lower for the same size.
  • Breakfast staples lead. The October list leans on morning basics: Dutch Lady UHT, Quaker instant oats, Munchy's Oat Krunch, a 100-stick Nescafé pack and an 18-pack of Daddy noodles.
  • More homeware, cheaper. Six of the 18 lines are plasticware and home textiles (Elianware, Applelady and Emart's EMY house brand), and the cheapest of them is RM2.99.

The full October list

These are the 18 lines and the prices Emart prints on its own poster. Food and drink:

  • Munchy's Oat Krunch breakfast biscuits, assorted, 384g to 390g — RM7.99
  • King Cup sardines or mackerel in tomato sauce 425g — RM6.99

  • Applelady laundry basket JT-4490/B — RM7.99
  • EMY "Welcome" floor mat 38 x 58cm (S-036/S-034) — RM3.99
  • EMY kitchen towel 30 x 30cm, 3 pieces (HD-4449) — RM2.99

As before, the poster prints PWP prices only. Nothing has a struck-through usual price beside it, so Emart never states the saving itself.

How to judge the prices when Emart publishes none

Emart's website has no product catalogue, so there is no Emart shelf price to check these against online. Peninsular prices are a poor guide for Kuching or Miri. The fair test is the one Emart gives you: its own flyers.

  • Against September's list. The cooking oil line is RM1 cheaper for the same 5kg.
  • Against the weekend PWP strip. Emart's 2 to 4 October Kuching weekend flyer carried its own PWP strip, with Indocafe 3in1 Coffeemix, 100 sticks, at RM32.99. October's monthly Nescafé 100-stick pack is RM33.99. That is a ringgit apart for a 100-stick 3in1 pack, so choose on the brand you drink, not on price.
  • Against the shelf on the day. Before you choose, check the member price on that week's weekend flyer and on any One Day Sale flyer. If the same item is already on promotion without the RM120 threshold, spend your one PWP pick on something else.

On a per-unit basis, two lines on this list are clearly cheap by any standard: K1000 5kg at about RM2.60 a kilo of powder detergent, and Daddy noodles at about RM1 a packet. The Listerine twin pack at RM26.99 is a good deal for a household that already uses it.

The arithmetic on RM120

The question has not changed: were you going to spend RM120 anyway?

Your usual Emart run is RM120 or more. Then the PWP is a free extra. Take the line you would have bought regardless. A family that cooks daily gets the most from the Knife oil or the K1000; a coffee household gets the most from the Nescafé.

Your usual run is about RM90. Then you need RM30 more to unlock one item. That only pays if the RM30 is stock-up you would have bought within the fortnight anyway. Here is a worked example: add a RM30 bag of rice you needed next week, then claim the Knife 5kg at RM31.99. Your total is RM151.99, every item planned. If you add RM30 of things you did not need just to claim a RM2.99 kitchen towel, you have lost money.

One receipt, one item. A RM360 trolley still earns one PWP item, not three. The poster does not say whether splitting a trolley into separate RM120 transactions is allowed, and the campaign carries a general "T&Cs apply", so ask the cashier at your outlet before you try.

Where it runs, and where it does not

Emart's promotions page tags the October PWP to these 12 outlets (we re-read the list on 8 October):

  • Kuching: Matang, Batu Kawa, Tabuan Jaya, Sejingkat, Moyan, King Centre, Boulevard Kuching
  • Kota Samarahan: Summer Mall, Taman Berlian
  • Miri: Tudan, Riam
  • Bintulu: Bintulu

The poster's footer excludes Goceli, all Emart Express outlets, Emart Batu Niah and the Sabah outlets. On Emart's page those are Demak Laut, Sukma Ria and Bulatan (Express), The Hills (Goceli), and Lintas Jaya and Bundusan (Sabah). A Lintas Jaya shopper should watch the Sabah weekend flyer instead, which carried its own PWP strip on 2 to 4 October.

Two lists on a weekend

Emart has run a second PWP strip on its weekend flyers on the same RM120 threshold, with different items. As of the morning of 8 October no flyer for the 9 to 11 October weekend was up yet. Weekend flyers usually appear on Thursday or Friday. Check the bottom of your region's flyer before you shop, because on a weekend you may get a choice of two lists. Either way it is still one item per receipt.

Membership

The RM120 counts only on a member receipt. Membership is not free: Emart's member terms put registration at RM10, renewal at RM10 a year and a replacement card at RM10, all non-refundable, with a 3-month grace period after expiry before points are forfeited. You earn 1 point per RM3 spent, 500 points become a RM5 Emart voucher, and members get a RM10 birthday voucher within 7 days of their birthday. You can register online for a virtual card, and the emart MY app manages it. Register before you queue, because the PWP goes by the member status on the receipt.

Who this suits, and who should skip it

Good for: households in Kuching, Samarahan, Miri and Bintulu who already shop RM120 or more at Emart in one go, and who cook with 5kg bottles of oil, wash with powder detergent or drink 3in1 coffee and UHT milk.

Skip it if: your basket sits well under RM120 and you would need filler, you shop at Express, Goceli, Batu Niah or a Sabah store, or you do not want to pay RM10 for membership just for this. For the EMY and Applelady homeware, buy only what you need: there is no outside price to prove the saving.

Emart publishes the campaign, its dates and its outlet list on supermarket.emart.my/promotion.
