shopping is not for the weak


Shopping would be much EASIER if I do NOT need to look at the price tags!!! You know the feeling that you finally find the perfect item but when you turn the price tag and see that it costs your entire shopping budget, it's just so frustrating. Then, you'd turn and turn the price tag hoping that there is a 50% off printed somewhere on the tag, or you'd ask the sales staff if it this on sale but then no. You wish! Next thing is you'd try to look for something similar with lower price but unfortunately, either the most close to what you like has also a most close similar price to the original one or they come cheaper but they just do not have the 'feel' like of that of the original.

It kind of sucks when it's Christmas time and you're financially poor.
You can do nothing but look for another item that would fit into your budget, but you will always have that nagging feeling of so-near-yet-so-far. It's like losing in a losing battle (does this make sense?)! That's why I hate shopping. It reminds me of how I and Gretchen Barreto are worlds apart!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, multipliers! I wish you get more than what is in your wish list.

hi rose. ako, nay budget for each recipient nya when i shop, deretso na ko didto sa items nga within my budget ang prices. so far, enjoy baya ko sa akong christmas shopping bisag gamay ra ang budget. ang ako man sad gud rule is it's really the thought that counts. i got cute items for P65, set2x na sya that i know the recipient would enjoy.

merry Christmas to you and your family.
