No More Shopping?

without comments

I have no idea what goes on in this head of mine, but lately I don’t have the urge to spend or shop (well, except for the weekly groceries and the monthly magazines). The only thing that I need to buy now is the baby crib and all the necessary items to fill up the crib, and that’s it.

And perhaps for me – nursing bra, maternity pad and nursing attire. But don’t get me wrong, I still love window shopping, checking out stuffs on the Internet like tudung, household appliances, Corelle set, Tupperware but just for the sake of feeding the curiosity of what’s in the market, any good offer or discount.

Maybe I’m getting old and more prudent when it comes to money these days. Or maybe with this pregnancy I just not being myself.

Oh, the only entertaining stuffs that I am willing to spend my money on will be movie DVDs. That’s because it is more comfortable watching movie at home nowadays than going out to cinema. At least I can pause and go for toilet break every now and then..haha!

The Shopping Bugs Bite Again..

without comments

After a long break from the eBay shopping, I am now being bitten by the shopping bugs again..huhu!

I found this great looking organizer, which I feel like buying (at least I can keep the work-in-progress papers inside), although it won’t fit all my scrapbooking stuffs but still it is an organizer to start with..heh!

Check out the picture.

Plus the same seller has the Making Memories Journaling Book-Noteworthy range that I have been looking for. Talk about saving $$ in combined shipping..hehe!

Let’s Go For Quick Shopping!

What would you like to get as the best gift for the year? Or are you still finding the perfect gift for the coming Christmas but only have short time to spend for quick shopping?

Listing what you want to get or buy for yourself is not that hard but getting the right price which is within your budget is the main problem, right?

Now for those in the UK, there is a website that could help you make the selecting tasks less burdening. Using the Quick Shop search button, try keyword iPhone and you will get the list of directories of all the shops available online. Of course you can refine the search by putting all other additional criteria like price, model or even the shop’s name.

At the moment, the cheapest price is around £200.00 for an Apple iPhone 8GB. I know this is something that Hubby would love to have but for us in Malaysia, the problem would be the shipping. Not all stores are willing to ship internationally. Guess I have to wait until iPhone come into Malaysian market before I can get one for Hubby, heh!

For those who are looking for books especially on crafts, you will be amazed to see the lists of all crafts related books in Quick Shop.

I use keyword decorative painting in the search feature and I am excited to see all kind of books from different authors and masters in decorative painting. I think this Priscilla Hauser’s Decorative Painting Workshop book will be something I would want to add into my book collection but again Amazon does not ship to Malaysia..huhu!

Have a quick look at what Quick Shopping could help you. Who says shopping is such a chore if you know where to get the best bargain.
