when i last shopped at ASOS
i realized that the final price
charged to my PayPal was actually
higher than the price displayed on ASOS
Never Ending X Christmas Shopping: HU HU HU
*
but i didn’t really probe further
since the damage had been done
*
and this time round
omg yeah i broke my promise to shop
well as you can see
it has been almost 6 months
since i last checked out from ASOS
*
and in the past 5.5 month
i haven’t really bought much
like literally nothing at all
no apparel and sneaker at all
*
except 3 bags,
which are like necessities
no i didn’t blog about them
not because it’s a cheat
*
because i am confident enough that
my loots will be so so little
by the end of this six month ban
so i can just compile them all
in a single post
*
until yesterday
my fellow shopper told me about
20% storewide at ASOS
i seriously wasn’t aware
until she told me
*
so i opened and
checked out three
plain tee shirts
i have KIV-ed
*
nothing fanciful
these are essential alight
*
well i am used to having USD
as my base currency
since i am quite used to it
and more importantly
GBP actually gives me
a false impression that
everything is dirt cheap
*
then to my surprise
it’s actually cheaper
to check out using GBP
okay that makes sense as
GBP is their home currency
*
if my default currency is USD
then i would have paid 56.22 USD
after taking 20% off
*
if i set GBP as default currency
then i’ll check out in GBP
but to be converted into USD
by PayPal, instead of ASOS
*
the total amount is 50.41 USD
instead of 56.22 USD
*
i am actually hoping that
they take their own sweet time
to ship my item
like i don’t mind if
it reaches after June
*
so that i wouldn’t be considered as
breaking my shopping embargo yet
not until i wear the clothes
which is probably after July
*
