My Tips and Tricks to Make the Most of My Shopping Budget this 12.12

December 12 is in a few days. And it seems that this day no longer appear as any ordinary day, but a special shopping event – especially online.

I admit that I splurge on the things that I love and of value for me – like skin care, gadgets and
experiences. But I still try to be a responsible shopper but making sure I don’t go broke, and that I get the most from my spending.

I am sharing with you tips and tricks on how I make the most out of my shopping budget.

1. Before I shop or buy something, I calculate its price and how many hours I need to work before I could buy it. Say, a lipstick tube costs around Php 1,000. I would calculate how many hours I need to work (or in a freelancer’s case, what kind of output I need to produce), in order for me to have the power to purchase the item. If I feel that it is worth it, I buy it.

2. Days before the 12.12 event, I list down all the “needs” that I need to buy – this includes essentials like toiletries, skincare, and food supplies. Sometimes, buying these items online (especially on sale) can even save me time and transportation expenses.

3. I do my research on price points for big purchases. I do check and compare prices prior to the sale event so I would know which ones have the best deals. I recently purchased an external drive in a
physical store (out of urgent need as I was flying out). I know that the online store offers discounted prices but I had to consider timing and delivery fees.

I am currently in Fukuoka where we got to explore different malls and stores. Before flying out, I made ure that I loaded my PayMaya with credits so I can easily pay for my 12.12 purchases with ease – and even earn cashback. I may be abroad for vacation, but I am still looking out for items online because the deals offered by PayMaya are just too good to miss!
