They say that you need to save at least 20% of your salary for the future.
In order to at least get near the 20%, I try to avoid going to malls, choosing to stay home instead to avoid temptation. But the curious shopper in me, refuses to rest. I find myself going through a lot of websites and drool over the clothes and bags. If you think all I do is save pictures, think again, thanks/no thanks to paypal, my retail therapy goes to online shopping. My three weakness?
1. Ebay with its value for money purchases. Sellers, stop selling lovely things at cheaper than mall prices x_x
2. Apple. App purchases and in app purchases (Anyone agree with me for Smurf and Snoopy? I have had multiple five dollar purchases.) Itunes recently launch their music store locally. uh-oh. If I want a song badly, I may be tempted to just click the Buy for 99cents button.
3. Discount coupons. The thought of getting things at a fraction of the cost is so tempting. Take that of my article on Pisobid where I was a victim of getting things at 99% cost.
From the time couponing sites began, I have availed of the following:
AVAILED:
- 3 Red Mango yogurt
- 8 Viking Breakfast Buffet
- 6 Yoshinoya
- 2 Stronghand Shooting Range
- 6 Shilin
EXPIRED:
- 1 Fotosnaps Photobook
NEW
- 4 Sumosan
If you will notice the trend, majority are restaurants - my family loves to eat :)
Finally, my latest purchase from Metrodeal - a night lamp that shows off stars. Do I need it? No. Is it useful? Maybe. Is it cute? Yes. Press purchase.
I was a little apprehensive when I got the package. It was too light duty. Flimsy. I could have bought this for Php 100. If you know what I mean. We were asked to choose a color and yet they just delivered blue to us. The lamp looked like a knock off of an original products since there are unusable functions. The real test will happen when I get home- after I put in the batteries and if it does work, the way it will illuminate my room.
Here's a sample of the illumination. The star is kind of blurred when reflected but makes a big difference in a dark room.
Starry starry night, tonight!
