Binge Shopping on Shopee Pay Day Sale (with video)

They said do not live beyond your means, but it seems that the June payday sale made me buy a lot of items from Shopee. Despite being unproductive for the month, not working and writing, no income, I still bought a lot of products…for some reason, it was like binge shopping.

To myself, I do not know if all of the items that I bought are productive and worth buying. Maybe not, I am just in denial about my action.

Small bag

I went to Batangas for vacation and my accessories are not organized in my bag. It pushes me to add the bag to my cart for my preparation for the payday sale. 

But for some weird reason, I did not notice the word Washbag in the picture. It somewhat disappointed me because there is a washbag word on it…it feels weird, I even asked my sister if the washbag means a bag for napkins and pads.

Nevertheless, I will still use it so it will not be useless.

Document File Organizer

I mentioned before that I am using a DIY bookshelf, I made it so I can save money and since I also love doing some DIY things. But since the pieces of the box are not holding on and slowly falling because of the heavy things that  I put in, I decided to buy this file organizer.

It looks like a bookshelf, so I also put the books that I have. Fortunately, it fits my working area, now I can work with ease and in a pleasant environment.

Shoe Box

The pandemic started and going to school face-to-face is not allowed today…in my school. I only have two shoes: Black shoes and Rubber shoes and since I rarely use them, I put them under my closet after washing them. But I am not satisfied because they are not in the box.

It doesn’t have a box when we bought them…even though it is a World Balance shoe brand. My sister bought a shoe box so I did the same, it is cheap and affordable after all.

Eveready Battery AAA

I didn’t know that each type of battery has advantages and disadvantages. My parents told me to buy an Eveready brand of battery because I can use it for the long term.

Since I have a keyboard and mouse with an AAA battery, I decided to buy Eveready. I need 4 batteries. I went to the store and to my surprise, the battery was so expensive! It was 35 pesos each…so it was the reason why the seller said “Wow” when I said I am going to buy 4 pieces. It was embarrassing because my money is not enough so I ended up buying only two batteries.

I looked for the same battery on Shopee and it only sells for 98 pesos for 4 pieces. I decided to buy so I can save more than buying from the nearby store our place.

Journal Notebook

If there is the most productive from my purchases, I can say that it is my journal notebook. I like the quality of it and its look.

I am not a fan of journaling, but I always watch a video on YouTube on how people become successful and how become more productive and there is always one thing that is the same: Write a journal every day.

They said it will help you to improve yourself and become better each day, so I decided to give it a try. Nevertheless, I am also writing my ideas from a notebook before so it is not new to me.

Pen spinner

Call me a kid, but I want to learn pen spinning. They said always learn something new and I think pen spinning is one of the things that will become my hobby.

But seriously, some part of myself is saying that I shouldn't have bought it. Maybe I shouldn’t do it…and I know it to myself, I am just in denial. 

Power Twister Bar

I don’t know why but I am now enjoying working out. I want to be fit and have a better posture and appearance so I am investing in my health. 

This product is made for arm and chest builders. It will improve and exercise your muscles in those areas. Unfortunately, I bought the 40-kilogram twister and it is kinda hard to use…but I can manage. I thought it is easy to bend because I saw a light-skinny person from the reviews who can easily bend the 30-kilogram twister.

Also, the 40 kilogram is in the middle of the choices; as they said, it is the center-stage effect.

Lenovo Smart Watch S2 PRO

At last, this product is the most expensive of the items that I bought. I can’t believe that I bought something for this price. I love wearing watches, but I don’t have one. So, I decided to buy this watch for myself.

It is a bit expensive but I think it is worth it to buy. Also, it is branded: Lenovo, I think its price is normal for its quality. I don’t want to buy fake and imitation products just to save money; I will choose to buy the original item if I have the money because I believe that its quality is better and will last for a longer time.

I might be earning money but spending a lot is not necessary. According to the book Rich dad, poor dad, as we are earning more, we are dreaming more that ends up buying and spending more. Our spending habits are directly proportional to the increase in our income…which is a sign of poor financial literacy.

For now, I decided to delete the shopping app so I can somewhat avoid buying unnecessary items. I know that it is just temporary but hopefully, it will help. Furthermore, I think I already bought the products that I need so I will stop for now.

If deleting the app will not work, I still have a new plan that I need to do to stop buying unnecessary items.

If you want to buy the same products, you can check the links on my website. It will redirect you to the image and other description of the product.

The video is also attached on my website. I recommend to watch the video so you will see the actual product by watching my unboxing video.
