are you set to hit the beach?

Got your SANUK Fraidy Cat sandals?

Your ROXY Sea Salt swimsuit?

And your O’NEILL Jordy Freak men’s boardshorts?

No? Then you’d better check out the Swimsuit Sale @ Tilly’s for some of the best bargains on the coolest beach gear.

finally books we thought, not!

We went to the MP*H book warehouse sale against our better judgement. Their sales are never very cheap and every time we go, we seem to come back with hardly any books. It’s been like that the past few times so we’ve given up.

We eventually went because the kids are so starved of new books to read and we haven’t been to a single book sale since I don’t know when. So finally I agreed to take them. But the checkout lines were so long and the place was so stuffy we decided to dump the books and leave without buying. We won’t be going again.

grouping purchases vs spreading them out

Over the holidays, I went to Guardian Pharmacy a few times and bought different stuff. They’re having this huge holiday sale on and everything from toothpaste to adult diapers were on discount.

You know I can never say no to a sale . But the lesson I learnt from my last few purchases is that I should make all of my purchases on one day instead of spreading them out over several purchases.

Then I would’ve gotten that ‘free gift for purchases over $x’ that they always have during the sales. But because I bought a little this time, I never qualified for the free gift which I would’ve if I’d accumulated my purchases to exceed $x.

Christmas shopping bargains and food gifts

Are you shopping like a person crazed, like I am? And it’s not just the holiday shopping, it’s that I seem to be getting more wedding invitations arrive at my door! I’m trying to cut back on spending here, people, so would you quit getting married all at once ?

Well, it’s pointless complaining so I set out to look for Christmas shopping bargains instead. You’ll find lots of coupon deals that could add up to quite a bit of savings here.

For those hard to buy for people, I suggest you check out these Christmas food gifts. Everybody loves good food and the holidays are all about catching up and pigging out so food’s a great idea for a gift.

why go to sales if not for the savings?

Well, the International Fashion Week 2008 was last week. I was thinking that if I happened to be in the area, I’d pop in and have a quick look. As it turned out, I was really busy last week and didn’t even get a chance to be anywhere in that vicinity.

Never mind, the Savings Sales are on. I feel wierd saying Savings Sales because it’s a name that doesn’t make any sense at all, obviously coined by people who are struggling with the English language. Aren’t all sales meant to reward the consumer with savings?

At any rate, the sales are everywhere. Whether or not they really offer savings is another question. But let’s assume they don’t mark up the price, then offer you a nice little discount, I guess it’s time to get in a Christmasy mood and hit the stores. But be sure to comparison shop because that’s what’s really going to save you money .
