Need to Stop Shopping & Start Saving

在拉斯維加斯之旅時買了一堆Coach的東西回來後,不知道怎樣的忽然一陣購物熱,亂七八糟買了一堆東西,雖然都是打折時買的,但是加加還是花了不少銀子,偏偏前幾天開車不小心去撞到路邊的花盆(別再問我是怎麼撞到的,基本上就是我白癡就對了),去估價發現要修$700!所以現在絕對不能再買,一定要省省省啊!寫這篇純粹只是想要自我安慰,至少買這麼多省了很多錢而已....

Ever since the little detour to the Coach outlet on our Vegas trip, I seem to be in a "spending" mode.  I've been doing lots of shopping online.  One rule though.... I only shop when things are on sale (unless I really really really really want it).  So even though I bought a lot, I think I saved a lot, too.


Cole Haan Air Chella Cherry Slingback Wedge ($165.00 $56.30)

When I was younger, I always wore high heels.  It didn't matter if it hurt me feet.  As long as I looked good, I could wear it for the whole day (and night haha).  But now as I get older, comfort is the most important thing when I shop for shoes.  It's not easy to find comfortable shoes that's also cute.  So when I saw Cole Haan's Slingback Wedge with Nike Air technology
on a big sale from Smartbargains.com, I have to get it.  Aren't they cute?  By the way, if you guys want to buy anything from Smartbargains.com, remember to sign up for their newsletter.  You will get an instant 10% off with your purchase.




L'Occitane Riz/Rice Set ($50.00 $42.00)

When I first saw the new Red Rice set from L'Occitane's website, I was thinking about getting it.  By the time I decided to buy it, they didn't have the set online anymore.  I went in a L'Occitane store in Vegas and they had it.  Basically with the set deal, you buy the cleanser and moisturizer then get the toner for free.  This set is the perfect solution for my combination skin in the hot summer.  Also got some free samples from the nice sales lady in the store.


Crabtree & Evelyn Slippers and Bath Wrap ($215.00 $63.25)

Crabtree & Evelyn had a major sale on their website.  So I stocked up on their items.  Bought slippers for family, Dr. Park and myself.  Their slippers are really comfortable.  Also bought a bath wrap with headband.  


Crabtree & Evelyn Products ($97.50 $30.25)

Let's see what else I bought.  Hand Cream ($20.00 $3.00), Hand Wash ($18.00 $9.00), Antibacterial Hand Gel ($3.00 $1.00 x 4), Hand Wash ($18.00 $4.50), Home Fragrance Oil ($8.50 $4.25) and Hand Cream ($21.00 $5.25).


Crabtree & Evelyn Products ($169.00 $51.75)

Lost and Found Shower Gels ($17.00 $4.25 x 2), Found Perfume ($45.00 $11.25), Freesia Perfume ($40.00 $20.00) and Body Mists ($15.00 $3.00 x 4),


Crabtree & Evelyn Products ($124.00 $36.00)

Day Eye Rejuvenator ($24.00 $6.00), Cleanser ($22.00 $5.50), Day Moisturizer ($25.00 $6.25), Day Cream ($28.00 $7.00), Night Eye Rejuvenator ($28.00 $7.00), Lip Repair ($17.00 $4.25) and Men's Sample (free).

So I bought their products that was worth $605.50 for only $184.00.  Now that's a bargain!  The sale is still going on, but only with limited items now.  But the prices are even cheaper.  So better hurry if you want to buy something.


Birkenstock Women's "Rio" Nubuck Sandal ($114.00 $59.00)

Bought my first Birkenstock from RueLaLa.  But Dr. Park said they are ugly.  :-(  Oh well, at least they are super comfortable.

I accidentally hit my car on a plant pot in our office's parking lot.  Don't even ask me how I did that.  I was just retarded.  It'll be about $700 to fix my car.  So no more shopping for a while.  Need to start saving!

  3. 我的省錢方式就是不要去逛街, 不要逛網站, 不要想衣櫃裏好像永遠少了一件...Orz...

  4. 好多保養品啊~~

    果真美女都比較會保養
    我除了洗面乳和化妝水
    已經好幾個月沒有在臉上沾上任何其它的東西啦
    眼霜買到現在一年多都沒用完orz(我看等它蒸發會比用還快些)
    真的是懶得太誇張啊我
    應該跟你好好學習


    其實我平常也蠻懶的
    通常都是臨時想說哇好久沒保養
    然後就一天把所有東西都抹一抹哈哈

  5. Crabtree我也有敗, 但保養品不太敢買,總覺得打太多折扣可能是快過期的. 倒是身體乳液買了一些, 也花了一百塊@@


    應該不會快過期
    只是他們可能要停止生產這些產品了想趕快全部賣掉的樣子

  6. 最近也好常網路購物
    前陣子要買件比基尼送朋友當生日禮物
    結果看到特價就忍不住自己買三件 整個失心瘋被特價控制阿

    我一開始看成修理花盆要700多
    還想說 挖賽是什麼古董花盆嗎 這麼貴
    看到最後才發現原來是修車子....


    哈哈自己買三件喔
    下次po比基尼照片來看看吧
    我撞到花盆還要修花盆喔?後
    恨不得把那花盆給砸爛說

  8. 我都是一陣一陣的瘋..一陣子是保養品,一陣子是T牌的銀飾..再來也就是鞋鞋了.
    我去年買了雙MBT的黑鞋因為目錄說會瘦身..所以就敗了下來
    我之前在澳洲每天走路上班..所以腰和腹部有小很多.
    可是也是走佷多..我的腳很酸...
    現在在迷T牌的東西..所以沒有在看Crabtree & Evelyn's sale...
    need to act now!!

    Yep..we need to save some money for raining day..but we work so hard at work, I think we deserve to spend it in anyway we want!!

    Cheers,Eileen!!
