Has everyone checked out their items on the cart already? If not, there's still time to think about whether to check it out or not. As they say, "Budol yourself once in a month". You can also tell yourself "Deserve ko 'to, hindi man ngayon pero sa future". Hahahahaha!
E-commerce sites have the biggest sales every month and it is anticipated by many --- people of all ages! Not going to blame them for shopping online because it is very cheap. The prices of the items are way cheaper than the ones bought in department stores.
I know some of you here have told yourself, "Ay sa Shopee ko na lang 'to bibilhin kasi mas mura dun" "Meron naman nito sa Shopee". I am guilty about that. Hahahaha. Because it's really true, majority of the items sold in malls can be found in Shopee or other e-commerce sites. It is also convenient especially in this time of pandemic where we are limited of going out.
Let me share with you my online purchases and tell you the reason why I bought them.
Avéne Trixera. This is prescribed by my dermatologist to use for the next two months. I don't mind sharing this with you because this is just a nourishing cream and not a drug.
So, here's why I bought it. I asked the Instagram page of the clinic how much they sell it and they said that it cost 1950 pesos. I was shocked at first but I am already expecting that the medicines will be expensive. I checked on Zalora and found one that cost around 1500 pesos and it has a 25% off. One thing that I don't like is that it doesn't have free shipping. Since I remembered that it's going to be an 11.11 sale, I checked on Shopee and found the shop that is selling the same product. They sell it for only 921 pesos. Yes, 921 pesos!! Look how much money I saved. But I didn't order it right away, I read the reviews and got convinced that it was authentic based on the customers that once purchased in Derma Clinics, they said that it's exactly the same.
The funny thing is I always message the shops and ask for assurance if it's authentic. Hahaha. Here's the message I sent them:
"Hello po! Gusto ko po sanang bumili kaso medyo skeptical pa ako. How can you assure me na legit po ang products? Sorry po sa tanong."
"Based on the reviews that I've read, I think you can be trusted naman po. I'll order it."
After reading the reviews, I immediately checked out the product. Bahala na si Lord energy. Hahahaha!
Facemasks. I ordered two sets of this. Even though we still have stocks of facemasks I still opted to buy them because I like how the product fits the face. And one reason also is that it looks edgier than the other Korean mask. Hahahaha! I bought it for only 18 pesos per pack and paid only 8 pesos for the shipping fee.
Tongue scraper. Not long ago I was interested in purchasing a tongue scraper. I even want the rose gold color. But since I'm kind of tight on money, I just opted to buy this since it does the same thing as the other one. I got it for only 17 pesos and didn't pay the shipping fee. Thanks for the vouchers. Don't forget to take care of your oral health!
E-vouchers! I actually tried this because of @Eirolfeam2 , I can tell that she "budolled me". Hahahaha! I always see on her posts that she buys e-vouchers on Shopee and I got curious and tried it.
Funny thing is I didn't know that the Red Ribbon here in my town does not participate in this kind of sales and doesn't accept e-vouchers. Good thing is that I'm going to the city maybe next week. For me this is the most sulit purchases ever! My mom always tells us that we shouldn't limit ourselves when it comes to food. So, I don't mind whenever I spend hundreds of pesos in my food.
I also ordered e-vouchers from National Book Store because I am planning to buy high lighters that I can use when I'm studying.
This is all that I ordered online since I am not sure of the quality of the wrists straps on Shopee. I'm just going to check it out on the mall.
I am still a classic member on Shopee because I don't usually order online. I just started purchasing online when the pandemic started.
Anyways, here's a quick plug of my article:
