My sis was complaining to me how pathetic the GSS sales are in Singapore. The items that are new and nice-looking are mostly not on sale, and those items that are average looking or from the existing stocks are all going on sale. Well, that’s very true and it happens every year, so what’s new?

As i walked around the shopping centers, neighborhood shops, i could see the same trend. That’s no wonder I can’t seem to buy anything during the GSS every year. (This is good for most of us, don’t you think so?)

However, this time round, i managed to get myself 2 pairs of shorts@ $20 per piece from Giordano and 1 polo-tee for hubby. Not that the prices are fantastically cheap, but these items are top priority on my shopping list.

Due to the high inflation rates this year (i wish my pay is in the inflation list. .. *greatly disappointed* ), we have to seriously reconsider where we spend our $$ on. Gone are the days where we can spurge as and when the urge is there. The increase in the pay is not in pace with the increase in commodities prices.

Since the beginning of this year, i’ve started to add a few more sentences to my new year resolutions :

• strike out the word ‘CAR‘ from my wish list (unless i earn at least 8k per month, i will NOT add it back again)
• cut down on dining in restaurants
• do up shopping list for necessary (die die must have) items ONLY
• walk more rather than take transport (if it’s only 2 or 3 stops. that’s what i have been training for)
• buy less new clothes and shoes (unless the sales are really ridiculously attractive)

Bye bye GSS, maybe i won’t buy anymore items i don’t need.

Stumble it!
