When you overdo it, I don’t buy into it

Every now and then, I get a text message with 50% off and 70% off “selected items”. I am sitting minding my own business and I get bombarded with a few more. 30% off the whole store. Buy one get one free.

They eat up a lot of your transport budget.

Hair, Every Woman’s Crown

Ask any woman, how much did you pay for your haircut, hair dye or treatment, and she will be reluctant to respond.

I will tell you why.

The quality they say…

How many times have you heard the phrase, quality over quantity?

I have heard it plenty.

It’s not necessarily with goods though. Some guys refer to the girls they are dating also as “quality over quantity”.

Calorie Count, a Savings Account

Adding up the calories I got from the Pakistani food to the chocolate I got, I wanted to balance out my calories and not have some more in my drink as well.

Sounds familiar?

Household Expenses

It only takes an app like Wally to track your expenses and realize how much you are spending in a month.

In the past few weeks, I have come to think of myself as probably stingy compared to what I used to be, thinking many times before buying an item. Let alone the fact that I knew I didn’t really buy much stuff before and most of my spending habits were related to experiences, or shall I say going out? Traveling? Etc.
