Discounts for Christmas Shopping Rush

I was at SM Mega Mall and St. Francis Square last Saturday hoping to catch up with the Christmas shopping rush and discounts from some stores . Both malls were not that crowded as I initially expected. I was able to buy a new Yonex double compartment badminton bag with 10% off and Umbro shoes at buy-one-take-one for only P1,500. I was glad to know that there are still discounts available despite the Christmas shopping rush.

At the other mall, I was able to negotiate a fair price for ladies shoes. If these shoes won't fit, then we're gonna sell them. It would be business this Christmas. I am still not finished with my shopping. I hope there would still be discounts tonight. Some bonuses just came in. I wish my wife is with me right now. But she's in Cebu and I am here alone to push carts.

I have to fly back to Cebu first flight tomorrow, and I will bring with me presents for people close to me. Merry Christmas, everyone!

The Sewing Job

When we were small kids, my mom would design and sew the dresses of my sisters and a few of my girl cousins. She used a singer sewing machine, the only sewing machine brand that I know. But my mom won’t sew me a polo shirt. She felt she had no confidence in sewing boys’ clothes.

I was really curious how the machine works. Many times my sister and I tried to sew some rags. Once, I had a home economics assignment which was to design and sew our short pants. I attempted but to no avail. I let my mom reworked on it and she finished my assignment.

An aunt uses an automatic singer sewing machine, too. It really made her sewing job a lot easier. She was even accepting sewing orders. My mom can’t do what she can do. When we all grew up, my mom retired from her sewing job.

At Wize.com, you can read reviews for the various models and types of a singer sewing machine. It is one dependable brand that you should buy.

Online Shopping To Satisfy My Wishes

The internet is really a wonderful thing that you can do so many things with it. In my previous post, I wished for a DSLR camera and a new pair of badminton shoes. So I just commenced my search using the internet.

At QuickShop UK (the first international expansion off ShopWiki), the largest online shopping search engine in the UK, you can actually find almost anything that you are looking for, be it for electronics, appliances, clothing or anything. The have 35 million products in their list. You can find the best deals and discounts in their more than 30,000 stores.

When I searched for badminton shoes, I was given a comparison of the best prices from the various stores. This is really great! Now I tried searching for a Canon 400D Camera. The search led me to great prices and reviews. This is really a convenient way of shopping online.

Brand-Conscious Shopping

I don’t remember anymore the last time my wife and I shopped for clothes together. Was it last December? Yep, once last December. It was because she was looking for new clothes to wear on my sister’s wedding. We found what she wanted at a night bargain store, and not in some popular malls.

She’s not into brands. Unlike her, I put some premium on brands. I value very much my Florsheim shoes that I don’t use them very often. It’s kind of reserving it only for special occasions. I kept on returning to the Lacoste shop because I like to buy one of their displayed jackets. I never bought one though despite after many of the visits. I’m also impressed at one yellow Burberry t-shirt that I’d surely buy it when I see it again, wishing that they’d sell it at a discount. I am also hoping to replenish some of my Adidas dry fit shirts.

Now, one can do online clothing shopping at Smart Bargains, Kohls.com, Figleaves and Bloomingdales. These are big name stores that sell heavyweight brands. And they are now into the online business. At 1-coupons.com, you can get coupons, discounts and coupon codes so that you can get great-value prices when you do online shopping at premium stores.
