Need New Clothing

The last time I bought new clothes for myself was for the CNY. They were maternity clothing. And I am still wearing them to church! I so need to buy new clothing for myself. The clothing at cpshades are not bad. I love their shoes collection. I have not been buying shoes for ages too. The last not so new shoe I got was a hand me down from my mom. Money, fall down from Heaven please. ;)

Barcode Scanner for Show Only?

It is very frustrating shopping at a supermarket where they have lots of barcode scanner but none is working. It is ok if there is a price tag on the product but there is none. On top of that the products on the shelf are mix with other products. Even if there is a price on the shelf, we are not sure which one belongs to the particular product that I wanted to buy. Is it so difficult to buy a good quality barcode scanner? I see plenty of good quality barcode scanner online. No need to travel all the way to US to get them.

Extreme Couponing on TLC

I only managed to watch Extreme Couponing on TLC once. I was amazed at how coupons can reduced the total price of the items that you purchased from hundreds of dollar to just a few cents. I wonder whether online shopping coupon codes can do the same. I know where to get free shipping codes and a few other coupon codes but those coupon does not reduced the price until more than 50%. No chance of learning how those shoppers do it coz hubby has disconnected the Astro at home. :(

We Can't Afford PSP

My children especially my eldest keeps bugging me to buy for her a PSP. We keep telling her that we can't afford to buy one and it is also not beneficial as she will be stuck playing games on it and not helping me out at home. Her recent Chinese Language exam result was not up to my expectation and I am thinking of a way to motivate her to put more effort in studying the language.

I found the above at nomorerack.com. The price is unbelievably cheap. At $24 per unit, it comes with 120 different games. This I can afford to buy for my daughter. This will be her reward if she gets good result in her Chinese in her coming mid term exam this May. I'll show her post and see her reaction. I am so excited.

Getting Good Deals Online

I know a pastor's daughter who is married to an American. She is living is USA now. Quite often she posted on her FB wall the good deals that she got from online shopping. She managed to get some Macys coupons, and lots of other discounted online coupons. Quite a number of time she managed to purchase electrical item 70% cheaper that the normal price. That's a very good deal right.

Buying Cloth Diapers from China

I took the risk of buying another 10 sets of Cloth Diapers from China. The risk was, the transaction was done outside eBay. It was much cheaper buying direct because according to the seller, eBay charges high transaction fee and he can only give the price I requested if we deal direct.

This seller has lots of good feedback in eBay so I close both eyes and send him the money through Paypal. That was on Sunday, the next day, he sent me picture of the Cloth Diapers that I bought and then the wrapped package with the EMS slip on it with my address written on it. He gave me the tracking code too and the EMS website for me to check the status of the delivery.

My package left Beijing only on the 2nd (Thursday) and I received it yesterday, 7th. They take flight or ship arh???

Anyway, I was so relief to receive the Cloth Diapers. =)

Sent an email to inform the seller and bargain the price lower for another 10pcs or more. He agreed. =D Now I got to wait for my orders.

Invisible Wishlist

Last week a very pretty blogger friend of mine asked me to confirm my home address. I figured she wanted to send a gift for my newborn. When asked, she has no idea what to give! Hahaha. She asked me whether I have a wishlist. I do have an invisible wishlist but all my wishes are for myself; not for baby. On the top of my wishlist now is an electric oven which I am going to buy pretty soon because I have enough cash for it already. *grin* Thanks to BIL, my ex-breadmaker and part of my newborn Angpow.

Next would be to buy paint and re-paint my bedroom. The walls in my bedroom are so ugly now with maps all over it and *artwork* by my children.

Since I have a newborn now, someone asked me whether I need the Baby Bedding Sets. I would love have one but it will be inconvenient as long as I am still breastfeeding; you see, I co-sleep with my newborn.

If anyone of you is not breastfeeding or not co-sleeping with your baby, then you may want to hop over to Baby Bedding Palace. You can get a very good bargain there now; as low as $59.98 for a 12 piece baby crib bedding sets. The designs are very nice too. How I wish I can own one but that will be a waste of money since I won’t be using it.

Save at Buy Dot Com

Everyday is a Sale at Buy.com. In times like this, we need to save as much as we could.

Save petrol, buy online through Buy.com.

Save time, go shopping during working hours! Just like Howie Mandel's son. :P My boss will surely freaks out if he finds his worker shops during working hour; not even during break time.

Save money because everyday is a Sale at Buy.com.

And it comes with free shipping too.

I Won S$120 Shopping Vouchers

This is really a good week for me.

I just found out last night that I am the Grand Prize winner of online shopping website selling imported children's clothing. For that I got S$120 to shop at their online store.

What did I do to win the contest? With a help from a friend, we wrote a post about the website and promote their products. I won not because of what we wrote though. It was a lucky draw. I am lucky after all even though I don’t believe in luck but God’s blessings.

But then arh, there is nothing much there that interest me except to buy a swim pants for my 3yo son. A friend suggested to just claim whatever I can get and re-sell them through her online store. Good idea also ya. =) But it will be better if I can find someone who wants to shop there and just sell my voucher to her. With the cash that I get, I can other things for myself instead of baby coz this is No.4 child, almost everything the baby has already.

I could buy more puzzles or beautiful artwork which will end up in Art Storage company if we move but then at least I can buy something for myself.

Greenpan

I just spent SG$109.38 to buy 2 units of Greenpan for my sister’s house warming gift. They are non stick pans using Thermolon(tm) non-stick Technology, heat resistant up to 450 C/ 850 F and no PTFE - no use of PFOA. Don’t ask me what is that, I have no idea! Hahaha.

The introductory price is SG$69 after 15% discount. Looks cheap right but the delivery charges is SG$18.50. On top of that there is 25% Tax of the total invoice amount. Even the delivery charges were tax at 25%!!!

So I ended up paying RM255 for 2 pcs of that frying pan. I never spend that much buy cooking utensil before and never will for myself! Since she is moving to her new house next week and I can’t afford to sponsor an air-conditioner as she requested and this is the 2nd item in her wanted list and only I can buy coz I am always online! So, I close both eyes and click “Buy”! LOL.

Since her new house is not that far from our parent’s, she is shifting her stuff little by little. If the house is out of this state, she will sure need company like Boston Moving company to help her move.
