What I Bought During The Sale, Pt. 1 — Ft. Shop Restock.
Alrighty! So I'm back again with my sale Haul. Sale Haul are articles where i post and talk about what i bought during online shopping sales. I really enjoy writing this type of articles and maybe you'll like some of the things i bought too ang get budol-ed as well~
These are the things i bought during 5.30 payday sale and 6.6 mega mid year sale of Shopee Philippines
I bought various things for my small business necessities and supply's. With that let's begin ~
Bubble wrap 20 x 100 meters.
Y'all already at this point that i have a small online business, but if didn't yet, well now you know! Kidding xD
so Yeah i have a small online business, and bubble wraps are necessities. As the currier requires them most of the time.
Ever since i started my online business ive been buying "tingi" bubble wrap or small amounts of it. But i thought of why not buy a bulk one so i can save more in the long run.
I've been buying the "tingi" bubble wrap coz, its feels like its "cheaper" since im buying a little quantity = pay little at a time. Well thats not actually the case as you actually pay more in "tingi" rather than buying a whole one.
Example, ive been buying 20 meters of bubble wrap for 150 ₱ so that equals to 7.5₱ pesos per meter. But when you buy 100 meters for 480 ₱, the total for meter only cost around 4.8 ₱. That is 2.7 ₱ less than when your buying in small quantities. No i saved approximately 270 ₱ or 5.09 $
So yeah, mostly in general, you'll save more when you buy in bulks.
So for a 20 x 100 meter bubble it cost around 480₱ or 9.05 $
Mont Marte White Acrylic Paint
Up next that i bought, again something for my shop, i bought this white acrylic paint for the sketch book covers that i paint. Yes i hand paint the Sketchbook that i sell, i believe that whats makes it unique and stand out from other handmade Sketchbooks~
Heres and example of my hand painted sketchbook:
This one is the "egg" sketchbook, it is 100% handmade and hand painted from scratch. one of my favourite Sketchbook cover design i have created! 🥚
So I bought this white acrylic paint for about 142 ₱ or 2.67 $
Paint brushes
And this one is again for my shop, i bought these paint brushes to help me and make my life easier when painting the covers, i bought different size brushes for more convenience when I'm painting different subject ect.
These flat brush are the best when it comes to painting wide surfaces so i really love them, and the quality is insane for its price !
These paint brushes cost around 50 pesos for 3 different sizes or 1 usd
Packing tape.
You guessed it right, another item i purchased for my shop. so i bought this huge packing tape. I use tape a lot especially when packing, and thats why it's called packing tape right? xD kidding ~
Anyways, like ive said, i use packing tape a lot when im packaging orders, one of the essentials. This one is 300 meters long, yup 300 meters!
So for the 300 meter packing tape, it cost around 88 pesos or 1.65 usd
Total cost
And thats the end of my shop restock, i dont buy tons of things all at once as i ussualy buy my restock at different sales depending on what supplie is running out. But i did spend quite a lot more than usual when i restock since i bought in bulk this time around ~
Items i bought
Bubble wrap - 480 ₱ / 9.05 $
White acrylic - 142 ₱ / 2.67 $
Paint brushes - 55 ₱ / 1.13 $
Packing tape - 88 ₱ / 1.65 $
That sums to the total of = 765 ₱ / 14.37 $
I'll be making a separate article about the other personal stuff i bought for me so it'll be more organized also i bought quite a lot of random things and that would make this one way too long so I'll do a Pt. 2 of my haul soon ~
