Shopping with Coupons

When we were in the Land of the Free, I've seen my Tita bring coupons to her shopping trips. She got $6 off on Ecotrin. We saved $5 in Toys R Us using a coupon lying just beside the cashier. Now, looking through Target's coupons, I realized, I could've saved another $10 on some items we purchased like Aveeno, Neutrogena, on Men's and Ladies' apparel. Who know what else I could've gotten at a lesser price.

Since we do not practice this here, I didn't know that I could get further discounts. It was too late when I found out about it. Sayang.

Here in our country, we have something similar. If you are familiar with the Groupon sites that allow you to purchase a service or item using vouchers, then that's it. However, you'd have to purchase the voucher then pay again if you exceed the value of the voucher. But, these are implemented on big-ticket items only.

Will coupon shopping work in the Philippines?

Luxury Bags in Japan

Since almost everyone I know visited Japan this summer, I would like re-live my visit this year through this post. This time, I will focus on luxury bags. We've heard about the usual reseller shops that house these luxury brands. The one I can remember now is Daikokuya. I must've visited almost all reseller shops I've seen on the road. I've noticed that these shops carry the top 3 popular ones: Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton. There still are several pieces of Balenciaga, Valentino, Tory Burch, Celine, Gucci and Michael Kors but not as abundant as the top 3. I guess what carries the most value are the three popular ones. If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote. You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki. I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets. I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...

Great Finds for the New Year

I'm always excited to try out new products. I've tried these new products and found them to be very satisfactory. I hope you get to try these out too. 1. Soap and Glory's Clarity - I was about to become Rudolf, the reindeer, before I found this. It stopped my zit from becoming a full-blown center-of-attraction. It has a very refreshing smell that is very much needed after a sweating it out the whole day. Available at Sephora stores. 2. Mocha Rose by Rosebud Perfume Co - If you like the Rosebud Salve balms that come in small tin pods, you will love this product. It comes in an easy-open tube for convenience and effortless application. The application tip has a velvety texture unlike most balms in a tube. More importantly, the balm is so effective, it took out the dryness on my lips in a couple of applications. Also available at Sephora stores. ...

Gratitude Calendar 11/5

I have always been afraid of the dark. But growing up and becoming a parent, I have learned to overcome that (along with other fears), so that my children will not grow up fearing trivial things.
