Shopping craze, money waste. @ Shopping spree, money go whee!

Post-easter shopping is like the worst. For my purse and for my size. Chocolate and sweet prices drop like bombs to Pearl Harbour. And the word SALE attracts me like a bee to honey. It's like I look around me and all I see is SALE or SALE 50% OFF or SALE 75% OFF. It all translates to the same thing. BUY ME. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.

SALE = BUY ME. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.
SALE 50% OFF = BUY ME. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.
SALE 75% OFF = BUY ME. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.
BUY ME. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO. = BYE BYE MONEY
therefore SALE = BYE BYE MONEY

Here's a list of junk that I bought:

• A foot spa.
• About 5 pairs of sandals.
• Junk food.
• More junk food.
  
• Chocolate eggs.
• More chocolate eggs.
• UNO cards.
• Skip-Bo cards.
• Simpsons chocolate egg which comes with Simpsons giant playing cards.

Why a foot spa? Reason number one: to spite Cheok. She bought hers on e-bay for $35, and mine, due to a damaged box, was 1/5 her price. (For your convenience, it becomes $7.) Reason number two: cause it's $7 la. Where in the world can I find a foot spa for $7? And so, yay! I now have a foot spa. And I'm not even that keen about using it often or enjoying it. Call me crazy.

My sandals range from 50 cents to $2. Great bargain. Cannot NOT buy.

Junk food. Well, junk food speaks for itself.

Chocolate eggs. Price range: 30 cents to $4.50. Original selling price range: $1 to $9. Now I have enough to feed a hundred pregnant ladies' cravings. Woot.


The UNO cards and the Skip-Bo cards are more due to Ah Boy wanting UNO cards, and then seeing the price was $7.75, deciding not to buy it, then me realising it comes with Skip-Bo cards, bought it. Quick thinking. Never good. Doesn't go through the sensible part of the brain.

AND FINALLY, the giant playing cards. They are really GIGANTIC. Like HUGE. Like BIG. Like HUMONGOUS. Like HUGEANTIC. Like BIGMONGOUS. Well. yes, it's big. Larger than my hand even. Very fun to play with. Though very tiring to hold. And novelty of funness of size runs out fast. Especially when hands get weary of stretching far to hold or when cards are so big your opponents can tell your cards from 10 miles away.

The gigantic Simpsons cards.

The size compared to my hand.

Conclusion: Don't bring me shopping when there's sale around. Or you could, and take away my money and my EFTPOS cards. Basically, let me leave the house with my key and my access card. And probably my tissues and my mints and my lip gloss and my MP3 player and my umbrella and my book and my water bottle.
