I love SALE and how much more if 90% less…
I just got a new shoes despite my husband don’t like me buying things I don’t need. I still have my old shoes which is one year this October. Well who am I to fight the battle of SALE? Yes S-A-L-E the store is 90% sale, I don’t know if this shoes is included can’t read the paper posted, I would love to take picture but I might insult the owner (lol). Well blessings in disguise that I bought a new shoes because I can now wash the old one, in one year it was just washed one time after our trip to Sri Lanka . This shoes cost 10,000 won or $8.88, as far as I known the cheapest shoes in Seoul cost $17.75 or less, so I saved a lot. I even tell my husband this shoes cost $26.63 and he believed me? Not so sure, Lol! Well I did not buy it on the street but in the shopping district where some of the expensive brands are located. If Filipinos loves original I could say Korean loves more, most of the shoes, clothes and apparel here are known names like Nike, Guess, Crocodile and a lot more. But I guess my shoes is not original, I can’t find the word Do Be in the internet as what it is marked in the inside. Well what matter most its cheap than the cheapest.
Anyway I don’t know what’s going on with the store why they are on sale on high rate, maybe they’re already closing, transferring or going to migrate. The only thing I can read clear is 90% (lol). Anyway no matter what their reason is I love my shoes. I wish to return again they had a lot of pants which are in sale too and so far it the cheapest clothes store I have encountered here in Korea. Lastly maybe their products are from China that’s why cheap. Lol!

Apples are on sale
As a buyer, I am so frugal. I love SALE; of course you love it too right? Well, stores are not on sale everyday so we need to grab the chance to buy the items while they are on sale.
Last night after gym I went to the supermarket to buy some supplies that we does not have anymore, supposedly I only need to buy 2 packed of apples but like what I said I need to grab the chance when items are on sale. The apples are sale for W2,800 per bag which has 6 apples on it, in normal days it cost W5,900 per bag with same number of apples. So I immediately put three (3) bags on my cart while walking away my mind changed and grab one more to make it four(4). That’s a lot of apples huh? It is part of my husband’s meal which he weigh first before eating and if it is over his desired weight he is going to give me the piece of it which usually I always forget to eat so he is still the one who’s gonna eat it on his next meal. I just don’t feel eating cold apples, so whenever I ate one I need to make it warm first by putting it outside the fridge.
What is your addiction?
We have our own hobbies, collection and addiction. I had a fetish buying hair, face, and bath and body care products. I don’t know when does it started and how, as far as I remember I’ve been like this since I’m in the Philippines when my mother became Avon dealer. I just love to collect and look at them; I don’t use them unless I have too. That’s why if you’re going to notice I have a lot if things that I just hide, I even buy small stuffs like pens and the last time I checked them some are already unusable that I need to dispose, I think the ink stocked and dried. I also collect notebooks that I need to hide because my husband will scold me when he see me wasting my money. For him it is really a waste to buy something I am not going to use. So these stuffs are perfectly hidden in the cabinet only small stuffs can be seen. I used things when they are already torn and ugly like when I brought my notebook in China, I am not planning to use it as possible but our bags get wet from the rain including my notebook, so no choice have to use it. As of now my husband was the one using it, jotting his in-active farm friends or seeds he had no mastery in farmville. Sometimes taking down some names he need to search for his genealogy.
Well I can’t use these products because I also had jumbo stuffs in our bathroom, I have managed to put one shampoo (not in the picture) in my giveaway. Anyway I am thinking to send this home, for sure my mother will appreciate this so much. But when I packed them in a box, whew it is damn to heavy, I am going to be poor in postal fee. I think I need to stop buying stuffs for a while and concentrate on saving money for postal fee.

No return, no exchange!
Finally I can now charge my battery, it’s been a long time since they were drained. We went to E-mart last Wednesday to buy some stuffs including the battery. As usual looking for a taxi was really hard, just too lucky it was not raining like the first time we shopped.
When we arrived home my hubby found out that the charger is for Korea use only it is not a world wide voltage which means we can’t used it to other country. He told me I have to return to the shopping mall to refund it if we found a world wide voltage near us. So we went to the store where we first seen a battery charger, so unlucky that it was already sold out. I have suggested to go to Kim’s Club Mart to check if they had a battery, I am too unlucky that they had. Hubby bought it including the two pair of batteries, here comes my dilemna.
Your wild guess is as right as mine, he asked me to return the battery charger in E-mart. I am typed of person, who has a reason in everything. Like telling him “No return, no exchange” policy, my husband get pissed off of me. Well usually that’s the policy in Philippines and I hesitated to return it because the battery has no damaged eh, the only reason is we don’t need it.
So he did not talk to me, until Thursday after class he came home and went directly to the place where the battery was placed. He hand it to me with the receipt and piece of paper with a Korean writing sticked to it , his school teacher write the words I am going to say to refund it. So I went to e-mart by taxi, I did not attend the gym. The taxi driver is too kind to talk with me, all of my answer is smile and a little laugh because I can’t understand what he is saying. All I understand is asking me if I am a Filipino which I replied yes.
Arriving at the shopping mall, I look for information booth as what my bad mood hubby says. Well I found a booth, thinking if it is or not I walk to the right and right there I found what I am looking for, REFUND. I handed the battery and the receipt to cut it short it was refunded.
With the reason I am already there, I loiter inside and look for something cheaper. When I came home I took a taxi again, handling them a piece of paper written with our address. And like the first one, the taxi driver spoke to me. Asking me if I am an English teacher, I replied it is my husband and not me. To make it short we don’t understand each other, I just showed him my ARC. But he still don’t understand it, so he asked me if I am from Canada after looking at my ARC, I just replied yes so there’s no more further explanation because it will still end on nothing. We are not going to understand each other no matter what I say and he say. I am just astonished because most of the time the drivers don’t talk when I am with my hubby.
My hubby scolded, not really scolded me like a child but just tell me that as if I know everything when I reasoned out. Okay, his right shopping mall in Western country do refund.

Impulsive buyer – Yes, I am so vain!
Are you an impulsive buyer? Yes I am, I buy stuffs out of my list once it caught my attention like what happened today, I went to the supermarket to buy kimchi instead of going to aisle where kimchi is, I loiter around the aisle of beauty stuffs and toiletries. So what happened? When I went to the kimchi aisle I have a Nivea lotion on my hand and then when I went to the cashier to pay I already have Dove soap and body wash on my hands.
I can’t say no to this stuffs, yes I am so vain!
