Why to buy?
What to buy?
Where to buy it?
How to buy it?
*
so i started researching
about the price
the retailing price is 3,099 MYR
which is about 720 USD
*
however the lowest market price is
currently around 2,500 MYR
which is about 590 USD
on both shopping platforms
i usually shop at
*
yesterday i was kinda of busy
with work in the morning
was somehow talking to my sister
she is now a pro online shopper
much better than me
and she was telling me
about the abundant coupons
11street was giving her
*
so i was telling her
that particular Huawei 10 Plus
which is the cheapest around
can’t be purchased with a bonus coupon
*
wait she was saying that
the phone is going at 2459
instead of 2519
are we talking about the same?
goodness.. further reduction?
*
and she is that pro that
she managed to apply
two, not one coupons
for minor discounts on
product and shipping
goodness
*
so i was technically
half pushed into the final stage of
buying decision
as she was asking if
she should proceed to pay
and the coupons would be
expiring in two days
*
so i told her to
put it on hold
and let me sort out
my finance and
transfer money to her
before getting one
*
by 9 PM
she sent me another screenshot
with the price after discount
and asked if the price is okay
*
and by 10:30 PM
she sent me a screenshot of her
transaction status notification
see… i told you she is pro
*
so i was literally
not involved in the
final purchasing stage
except getting updates
*
and yeah
i haven’t even paid her
waiting for fresh fund
to be pumped into my account
*
keeping my shopping account empty
is a way to deter myself from
excessive shopping
online or offline
*
i pumped in 3000 USD in March
and there was a direct payment
of 700 USD by client in June
all gone within 3 months
goodness knows how
*
gosh once the fund is in
i have to pay her for the phone
and i have two pending carts on
Lazada: groceries, traveler SIM card
ASOS: wallet for my dad
and 2 tax bills
