I
love it when websites come up with the reddest promos that even someone like me
who insists that shopping is bad can’t resist it. It’s because the deals are so
good that refusing to take part in it would be a lot more well… stupid. Deals
up to almost a hundred percent off may seem like it’s too good to be true but
it’s actually true. The very recent promo I think a lot of websites
incorporated in their monthly sales is the 90% off promo where everyone can
order the item and not have to pay a single dime. The order you pass will serve
as you online raffle ticket for the draw that will determine the winner at the
end of the duration given by the company. I have never won in any of the three
websites I joined in including Cashcashpinoy, Lazada Philippines and I
forgot the last one.
And
you thought I was willing to spend on my uncalled for shopping hatred. The only
reason I considered even doing it is because I basically have to pay for 10% of
the market price. The only catch is you can’t choose what item you can buy. A
featured item for the day, hour or week will be provided for you and if you’re
one to try your luck, you can get a chance to win something normally sold for
thousands for just a few hundreds unless of course you’re wanting to buy
something above 10,000. Maybe then you’d have to pay a little over a thousand
as well but what’s a thousand to the many thousands you can save, right?
I
would say that the most expensive thing I have bought online so far and it was
because I needed it for work is the handy charger I got a few weeks ago. It’s
very practical because ever since I upgraded my line to have LTE, my iPhone has
been dying like crazy. I’d be lucky to have it working one fourth of the day.
And since most of my work are relayed over skype, it’s important for me to be
online 24/7. Yes, even when I’m not at work, I’m still working. It was 12% off
when I saw it but because Lazada had a promo for all MasterCard holders, I was
able to get an additional 10% off over the already discounted price.
Shopping
technically isn’t bad but let’s not be in denial when I say that some people
blow it out of proportion making it impossible for them to hold themselves back
when a sale comes out. I’m all for the ‘I worked hard I deserve this’ cause but
you’d think since they know how much effort was put into a few hundreds that
they’d know how to save up. Unless I’m hundreds of thousands up from my normal
monthly expenses, I just can’t imagine myself splurging on the most outrageous
things like a flat screen tv or a car. I don’t even think loaning is such a
good idea. I mean, since when was buying something you still can’t afford a
smart idea?
