This is where we buy our toiletries, vitamins, perfumes, gift ideas, women's beauty and men's essentials, etc. Not too expensive but not cheap either! One thing that is good about it is that, you could get 4 points in every £ you spend... and in every hundred points you get, you'll get a £ back.
As you can see above, so far I've already got more than a thousand points already which is equivalent to £10.14 ($15+), which I could get goodies in return. Good isn't it? Whereas, some other stores here are giving membership points which is next to nothing.
The moment we arrived at Singapore after a 13-hour flight, I was feeling so exhausted plus I didn't manage to get some sleep since I was watching movies. We were on economy section but the movies the airlines has had to offer were absolutely good! So I ended up of staying awake most of the times, maybe only 1-2 hours sleep. As a result, I said to my hubby & myself that the moment we arrive Manila, I will be sleeping and we'll just see my sisters the following day.
We arrived between 6-7pm at the hotel (it was Saturday), I phoned them up as soon as we settled down, and apparently, they were all waiting for us to have dinner outside. Relaxed for about 30 minutes, and we didn't even bother to take shower. So we headed down to the "SM Mall of Asia". What a big surprise to me that it was a MID-NIGHT SALE until Sunday. Lucky huh I should say... imagine you can buy 2 for the price of one, and I was looking forward to it since we don't normally buy in the UK due to their prices, as in extremely expensive!! Look at the happy faces of my sisters huh...of course the big sister too.
I saw my sisters again, I was so pleased to see all of them, as well as my auntie and cousin. We had dinner and went shopping straight away! WOW!!.. shopping again after almost a year. Was funny, because I was so energetic the whole night, while I was very tired just few hours before we arrived. My hubby was just laughing at me, since he knew for the fact that I can't really resist shopping!! hehehe. He must be my husband then, hahaha!!!
We went to the men's section first for his working shorts and shirts, then he sat down after having been taken all he wanted, and its my turn...yepppeyyyyy... I told to my sisters to get 1 pair of trousers (jeans) and 2 blouses for each of them, or they can take anything they want for a total of P2k! You know, it was just amazing to see the happy faces of my sisters, it was also like a bonding time for us, though we didn't spend much time in Manila with them. It was almost 11 o'clock when everybody was finished, while my hubby was sitting looking bored and sleepy. Oh dear, poor boy... Anyway, though we were really worned-out, and had my toes hurting me much, so we had to look for sandals, only after we went to the sea side to have something to eat and drink (photo above). We stayed for about 45 minutes and headed inside the shop again to look for my sandals. Yes, we did manage.
We were back at the hotel at around 12:30 midnight!! Phew, it was after a long taxi queue... in the middle of the night, there were still hundreds of people walking around. We took shower the moment we arrived, and sleep like dead!! The following morning, we woke up at around 9am, dressed up and headed down to my hair dresser to have had my hair relaxed and apply cellophane, straight to my derma and went back to MOA again...hahaha... a never ending shopping... well we only took advantage of the cheap stuffs!!
Now, we had a problem of how to fit those in to our suitcases, the fact that we still had all the presents for people in Bohol where my parents are.

Anything we need to buy in terms of foods and other basic daily needs, we always go to shop in Tesco. They always try to put their prices down compared to any other supermarkets around UK. What I like to shop here especially between 7 'til 9pm is that, they cut the prices down up to 50% discount in terms of foods (fruits, meat, yoghurts, etc...) which its expiration is close to an end. Honestly, you can save a little bit of extra penny here. When you plan to cook the following day or after two days, then they would still be fine to keep. But beyond that, I don't think would be a good idea.
By the way, you can also shop online. I used to wonder why people still bother to drive to go to Tesco while you can actually shop online. The thing is, as much we love shopping online, we always rather to go, drive and shop around. Does it make sense to you? On the other hand, I asked as well that why people still have to order online while they can actually drive and go to the nearest Tesco.
Well, I have learned that, 1st - not all people in the UK have cars, 2nd - not all places there have Tesco, 3rd - they offer loads of discounted prices online, 4th - you can see loads of options which you could not see in most of their shops, and last one - you tend not to spend more especially of bringing your kids to shops, they'll spoil your budget.
Enjoy shopping, while spending less....
