Items That I Bought in 3.3 and 3.15 Sale

I told myself not to spend much money after seeing my expenses from last year in Shopee. It was not huge for others but I cannot believe that I can spend it just for buying things. I am really not a fan of shopping but buying things online is cheaper than personal shopping and its prices are very tempting. I even told myself to delete the app but until now it is installed.

Days on monthly sale like 3.3 and 3.15 which is the pay day sale is a sign of shopping as they are always offering a lot of vouchers where you can save a lot especially in shipping fee…sometimes there is also cashback. I really waited for these days to come as I have plans to buy things for school and for my personal desire.

Things that I Bought During Sale Days

Pots and Seeds

I am a fan of nature and planting but I have no talent for it because the plants are always dying after a few days so I did not pursue planting. But last week, our professor assigned a task for us to make a project for the community or even for ourselves. She said planting is one of the options that we can choose. Hence, I chose it.

I waited for sale day to save more money, especially for a shipping fee. I already bought it and am waiting for the pot to be delivered. As of now, I am planning to plant them in recycled plastic bottles temporarily to make the project eco-friendly.

Actually, I already thought about using it but since the pots are cheap I decided to buy them to make the project pleasant.

Glycerin and Mini picture frame

Last time, I posted in noise.cash that I have a dying plant which is special to me because it was from my friend and I want to take care of it. Sadly, I forgot to water the plant and the leaves started to dry…even an agriculturist student told me that it has no hope.

Luckily, when I posted the information, some of my friends suggested that I should preserve it instead…I immediately watched tutorial videos from YouTube about preservation of plants and the easiest way is to use glycerin so I bought one and a picture frame as the place to preserve the plant.

Remote Control Helicopter

You might be laughing or judging me but I bought a helicopter toy as a way of relieving my stress and killing my time when I am taking a rest from using my phone. I had the same toy but I never used it because it drops and breaks quickly. Hence, I bought one for myself as I noticed that I only bought things for school.

I admit that this is a want and desire but as I said, I am playing it when I am taking rest. Also, I cannot afford a drone so I use this as an alternative…it is a cool toy actually.

Samyang

This noodle became a trend years ago but I never tasted it not because I have no money but because I don't know where I can buy it as the products in my place are limited and I am sure no one will sell it here because of its price…unless you want to go on a trend.

I might be late in this trend but I can say that it is literally spicy to the point that I only had two bites with chopsticks. But I don't like the Buldak flavor. Also, I thought 3x spicy is not that spicy and nah I am wrong.

Conclusion

I spent a lot shopping this month and I think I need to control myself by buying things that I don't really need. I cannot do anything but keep sending money in my shopping wallet and buy things every sale day. It is funny that buying every sale day seems like a requirement to my sale as I can't control myself. 

Nevertheless, I am thinking of the best solution to stop this bad habit and turn it into a good one. Or maybe I should have a budget and fund for buying my needs especially in school. Always remember that needs and wants have a huge differences.
