[Discussion] Spending money

[lwrncc]

i spend quite a bit of money on clothes, especially shoes.. *sigh*

 

such is the culture of hyper-consumerism we live in, superficial yet many people indulge in it.

[Throttle]

pple spend alot on material things while others leisure. some gadgets and some die die must own newest phones. iphone, blackburry. too many pple lack of finance management.

 

got money ok.

no money, ko.

 

 

haha

[Shinsou]

my priorities on $$ spending are

 

1: watever mama wants

2: my cat

3: my bike

 

As for food i usually dine at kopitiams, cook instant noodles, grab $1 hotdogs at ikea or if available have home cooked food, although i seldom get that..

 

Clothes wise i will only buy if its less then $20. Latest items i got was a t-shirt and slippers at cotton on for $5 each.

 

Monthly spending goes into hp bills, internet bills, utilities bills, conservancy charges, food and sand for my cat, and the occasional toy for him.

 

Lastly, i don smoke, gamble, drink, club or visit geylang so i guess that saves up quite abit?

I used to buy a lot of books but they took up too much space! When we moved recently we had to throw away a lot of books! These days I borrow from the library and only buy if I really like the book. Last book I bought was The Alchemist.

 

So far no need to spend on bike because my partner would buy me "birthday presents" in the form of spare parts!!! Apparently I'm getting some brake/clutch lever for my birthday this year!!!

 

Like you, a phone is just a phone to me. I prefer very basic models (can call, can send message, can take picture). I have a company-issued Blackberry so I do my web-surfing on that (no need to pay data charges hee hee).

 

i am so so so so jealous of you. grrrrrrr.

hmm im allergic to cats

 

so nah.

My idea of retail therapy means shopping at Daiso.

 

But yesterday, i kinda went crazy and bought $133/- worth of tolietries at Watsons.

[FMC]

I spend most money on FOOD & Petrol .. I spend less on others....

[paperger85]

Ever since I had my baby, my major spending has been on her. My body went out of shape after I gave birth and I can no longer fit in most clothes so I shop for her instead. LOL.

[GuiNNeSS]

Lets see. I bought the following yesterday at Watsons Changi Airport Terminal 3:

 

1) Bottle of children calcium + vitamin D Gummi Bears $22.90

2) Bottle of Glucasamine $69/-

3) 2 tube of Garnier Light Oil Control cream $45/-

4) that eggy AHA & BHA face wash tube $12.90

5) A body brush $5.50/-

6) 2 big packs of housebrands errrmm......something $8/-

7) 2 Garnier hair dye pack $18/-

 

And some other $100/- spend elsewhere on other items.

[GuiNNeSS]

Bought yesterday:

 

4 small trashy chinese novels for $6/- at Chinatown

 

CK Dept Store @ Pisces Chinatown:

 

a bottle of lavendar johnson baby shampoo

a big bottle of cocoa bean shampoo. Forgot its name, but its really cheap and good.

1 bottle of hairgel with a pump

a toothbrushing mug.

2 big bottles of Fa spray deodarants

2 boxes of Dilmah Earl Grey Tea.

 

Very happy with the purchases, the spray deodants spells lovely, and its great to spray on socks and socks so I wont stink up any place when I have to take off my shoes.

 

Heavy to lug around, but it was a good happy shopping experience.

no choice, geek what haha

[Throttle]

a box of 10 Cohiba Behike cigars

 

time to celebrate

[GuiNNeSS]

Been meaning to get a bag inset carrier, so its easier for me to locate things in my own bag instead of always having to dig. And ts suppose to make it easier to change bags too.

 

Anyway, most of them costs easily from $12-$100. But recently, I saw that if you buy the bundle two bottles of Lux shower cream, it comes with a bag inset carrier thingy. So I bought the shower creams just to get to the carrier. for $12.90 for two bottles of shower cream and the bag inset carrier....I think its actually quite worth it.

 

Though......I now have enough shower gels to last me till Chinese new year next year.

[haoKR]
