making entry into my shopping records
when i came across this minor issue
*
so last week
i bought a pair of kicks from ASOS
it costs me 75.8 USD
*
or 48 GBP
*
i paid in USD
and one week later
i am not sure if
the currencies fluctuate a lot
or they are offering a really low rate
for USD to GBP conversion
*
48 GBP doesn’t really
tally to 75 USD it seems
there’s a 10 USD difference
*
so does it actually mean that
i have been charged more since
i choose to pay in USD?
*
and i am making entry in MYR
so the difference is even more obvious
*
but anyway
i did my conversion in USD and
kinda expect it costs 300 MYR
before checking out
*
more importantly
glad that i have managed to
keep my shopping bill
under MYR XXXX
having checked out
my last (hopefully) cart
for 2017
*
shopping rule #1
when it comes to currency
it’s better to overestimate
than under
because it may actually
prevent you from buying
