What did you order during the last 12.12 and 12.15 payday sales? Did you make any purchases during that time? Or are you someone who didn't even bat an eye no matter how many advertisements you saw?

As for me, I like to shop online using the Shopee app. Since I began purchasing products online, I have actually purchased all of the items I need online rather than going out and exhausting myself by searching for the item in physical stores. However, these applications frequently entice consumers with sales so that you, as a buyer, are compelled to buy something even if you don't need it simply because it is on sale.

When I have a free shipping voucher on my account, I am tempted to immediately buy a product, even if I don't actually need it. Despite the fact that these things are not particularly costly. Last month, for example, I purchased an eye makeup set that included mascara, eyeliner, an eyelash curler, and an eyebrow card tool. A ponytail hair rope, earrings, a necklace, a blackhead remover, and a spatula were among the items I purchased! On Facebook, there's a group where the admins post items for sale, and I'm frequently notified when they do. And I automatically buy things I don't need just because they're on sale.

So I decided not to be affected by the days where they have a lot of items on sale.

But before the 12.12 sale, I received some free shipping vouchers on my account just like the previous months. So without thinking twice, here are the stuff I purchased:

Korean Mask KF94 Mask

The original price of this item is Php. 200 ($4) which included ten pieces of KF94 mask but it was on sale for only Php 16. Just in time, I am already running out face masks since there is only 2 left out of the box of face mask I bought last month. I don't think this is a 'budol' because face mask is a necessity nowadays. It's also less expensive to buy a set rather than buying one from a local store every time I go out. I also avoid using washable ones because they are inconvenient to wash after each use and I dislike how they look after they have been used for a long time.

Shorts

This item is originally sold at Php 99 (approximately $2) per piece, but it was on sale for only 28 pesos. I decided to purchase this item because these days I like wearing shorts at home. It is very affordable, I only added a little amount for the shipping and handling fee.

SET OF PEN

This set of pens is a true 'budol' since I don't actually need this. I still have a lot of pens I bought from a physical store last time, It is originally sold for Php 100 ($2) but it was on sale for only 9 pesos. I thought that it's very cheap and the reviews say that the items are good. I thought I can use it for scribbling or writing letters or for designing. Well, I can just use it anytime. It's a pre-order so I was surprised when it was already shipped last nigth.

YOGA MAT

Maybe I can use this yoga mat when doing some exercises. Or maybe when I want to lay on the floor while watching Korean dramas. You see, I love laying on the cold floor when I am watching dramas because I am comfortable that way. So maybe I could use this Yoga mat when I do that. It is originally sold for $4 but I got it for more than $2. So I think it's a good buy.

Denim Jacket

This one is not mine nor am I giving it as a gift. This is my brother's. He ordered it using my account since he doesn't know how to shop online, he asked me to purchase it for him instead. It is sold at Php 699 but it is on sale for Php. 452. Though it is already on sale, I would still not purchase an item with that price, especially an item of clothing.

If you'll notice, most of the items I purchased are very cheap. Oh yes, like I mentioned in my previous article, I love cheap items! So even though, I buy things out of impulse, I still choose the cheap ones. Last month I even purchased 2 pairs of sunglasses for only 1 peso each. And I also got items for only 9 pesos each.

The funny thing is that, when the courier would shout my name, our neighbor would also go out and stare at me like I've got a lot of money. She didn't know that those are just items on sale lol.

What about you, what items did you purchase last 12.12 and payday sale?
