When it comes to shopping, before I always like to buy the things that I want, I don't mind if my savings will be lost as long as I satisfy my needs. Ops! That is a long long long time ago. I was immature back then and I was still young to know and realize the things that life is hard. But now, I realize the things of what are the elders want us to learn in living.
Money is hard to accumulate and I started to save some money when I was Grade 4. Just some coins only by selling some liquor bottles and cans and I learned that from my Grandpa and when I was High School, I saved a total amount of two digits of thousands before but...they just borrowed it and never came back to my hands since then.
In the year of I don't when this two online shop applications invented, I did not believe to them first because what if they are just scams, right? Because sometimes online sellers are good at scamming their far buyers so I just started to buy in this two applications last year because it was a pandemic month and we are just staying at home, I buy the things that I can use in taking a bath, shirts and shorts because I don't have a new things But again, I use my allowance and saving from my Mom. I did not use all of them, I just use a total amount of $40 usd. That is my first time buying myself that big amount.
Did you know that after buying them I realize that:
Using Beauty products that costs a lot will not be helpful for me. Because the content of the product are just small, they are not also legit.
I just waste some money, I just hope that I did not buy them.
but still, everytime that I visit the two shopping applications, I always Add to cart things that I need or want to buy. My mind was, "When I can save a lot of money maybe, I can buy those soon" Nevertheless, I did not still buy them because like what I always say to you in my previous article when we talk about money, I am a Certified 100% 'Kuripot', but other people always comfort me that "it is okay to buy for yourself because you deserved it." or "it is your own money, why you are not treating yourself?"
The reason why I did not treat myself in the past month that I accumulate a BCH is because, The BCH that I am saving is not for me but for our Future House. But still, maybe it is okay for me to give and share the other amount because we are in needs of food this month I just need to accumulate more BCH again.
Okay, so now.. I will share you if what are the things that I add to cart again today? Actually, I think a lot of times if I can buy these things but there is still a part of me that I don't really need those so they are just at my cart and never buy them. What are those?
1.Water Tumbler
I like to buy my own water tumbler so that I don't need to go back and forth to the kitchen when I was thirsty. But I think I don't need to buy some because I can still reuse a mineral water bottles right? I just buy some mineral water bottles or the big one so that I can use it than buying a water tumbler cost $0.58 usd.
2.Small Stainless steel thermos
Since I am a coffee lover, I need this kind of thermos. so that while I am reading or writing my coffee will be not cold. Because sometimes, when I am writing nakakalimutan ko siya and napapabayaan kaya ayon naging cold nalang siya sakin bigla. So I really need this kind of thermos, Easy to handle and easy to carry around. But I don't think i need to buy some? Maybe soon. I will buy one but for now. Let's just stay it on the cart. Btw this Item cost $1.69 usd
3.Wireless Airpods
Because it makes me pissed when my Ear phones will broke again. The wires of my ear phones everytime when I buy they are easily broken. That's why I really need this kind of item so that i don't need to buy ear phones many times. But, I am not sure if it this items will function well and can last longer to me because i read some feedback than after one month, the item did not play or broke already. So for now, i decided not to buy some.
By the way the real reason why I want to buy this kind of item is because I will use this to Practice dance in tiktok. lol
4. 360° Rotatable spin mop
Since I am at cleaning the house. I'm planning to buy some spin mop. Since our spin mop is old and just fix it with Bamboo stick. I'm planning to buy this kind of spin mop because it was easy to squeeze the dirty water and i don't need to use a plastic to cover my hands in squeezing it. But for now, I just use our old one since it is still good and can still use. My grandma did not want me to buy some and we need to magtiis daw muna sa mga bagay na pwede pa at hindi pa talaga nasisira and this is sometimes what we argue. I insist to buy some but she did not want to because it was cost a lot of money btw. this Item was cost $7.95 usd.
Closing thoughts...
Before, When I buy in Shopee and Lazada, nonsense things that I can wear, and I can use to my beauty. But now, I decided that I just want to buy things that I really really need in my everyday living for example is for cleaning the house, since I am the one who was scheduled here to clean the house so it's my responsibility to buy things that can make my work easy. From soaps to some tools in cleaning But for now, I don't have budget yet so I will just suffer first to the tools here that I can still able to use.
So What are the Things that you want to buy in Online Shop Applications? Let me know too!
Thank you for reading! 💚
