Shopping result

June 13th, 2008 at 11:13 pm

Well I went shopping today with my friend without a shopping list. I knew what I wanted to buy which is a pair of walking black shoes for Morocco. I found a pair for 39.99$ + tax. It was a comfty one and a very nice pair.

My friend paid my clothes that sell at her workplace. She paid all for me and I was so happy!! At the same time, I felt bad for letting her pay me a dress, a skirt and a shirt. They are 45$ with her 50% rebate. OMG... I got three nice things for free and I am happy. It's the nicest material gifts that I receive in my life so far. =P

The store that the clothes are from are very good quality clothes. My black tank top that I bought three years ago is still in very good condition. It went through many washes and it still looks like the first time I bought it. It was 12$ but it was worth the price!!

Anyways, for the conservative clothes. I bought a pair of nice flats to match with my black pants. For the conservative clothes, I'm thinking of buying them in Morocco. I have two conservative t-shirt that I can wear when I arrive there. I can also buy a big thin scarf there to hide my neck part or I can buy the traditional clothes.

So yeah, I will take care of the rest of the conservative money later.

I admit... I am not proud of myself

I have a spending problem! Yes Christina is a spender now... I love clothes! I love food! I love to travel! Even my brother's girlfriend is scared of me that I will bring back shopping bags from my window shopping with my friend today.

Here's what I did wrong this week...

Monday, I went to eat at Burger King after meeting my boyfriend at the bus station because I slept late the night before so I couldn't make myself to eat. 6$ spend... I donate 4$ for the China earthquake which is consider okay except I have no extra to give away and it was not plan. I bought 27.19$ worth of beauty product and food at Walkt-Mart. 5.99$ for sharing the cost of the food with my boyfriend. Geez... I'm so bad I spend like 38$ in one day!!

Tuesday, I bought a frappuchino green tea at Starbucks. I don't go buy drinks often but man the drink cost almost 5$ alone. Then I went to eat lunch and I spend 6$ again for spaghetti. I bought three sets of bikini for 148.49$ and... that's about it =S!! I need bikinis for the beach in Morocco and other place but I certainly don't need that much and I can't return it!

I knew the consequence in it but I thought it wouldn't be too bad. It doesn't matter if we know the consequence but how we are going to pay it back. There this magic thinking that everything will be fine even though I bought the purchases... Grr... I hate it hate it hate it!!

Anyways, I have to take off my digital camera buying before the trip but put it after. I'm using my dad so I will have less to save for now.

I guess I have to make sacrifice!!

Just those bills...

I have my cellphone bill to pay each month which make 50.17$!!

The plan was 25$ with 100 min day call and 1000 min night call... I also get unlimited receive call. Except there's no caller display which I have to add 7$. Then 50 cents for 911 emergency fee, system access fee for 6.95$ and not to mention I add 5$ for 500 text messages (the lowest package). I am beginning to think if I really need the text messaging option.

Recently, I text a lot to my friends but I can reduce the amount by a lot. I don't need to reply stupidly hahahaha... Well anyways. I am planning to cancel the 5$ for 500 text messages tomorrow. That way, I spend 5$ less.

As for the rest of the plan, I need my caller display to be able to reach people whom I miss their calls like my boss for example. If he wants me to give me more hours in the summer. I will make more rather than losing a couple hundred by refusing to pay for 7$/month on call display. So I'm keeping that opinion.

I expect to have in the 40's on my next bill... Hopefully. I got the best plan so far and I can't cancel my contract for another two years or so. I'm stuck with it for months to come. That mean, I need to make place for it.

Today it's official...

NO MORE SCHOOL FOR 3 MONTHS!! WOHOOOO!!

I finished my French writting exam and I received my paycheck ^.^!!

I got 323.33$ YES!!

The bad news is... I bought black shoes for work so I spend around 90$ for it. There's no nicer shoes that was less than this or they don't have my size. *Sigh*

So yeah I need to pay back in my credit card.

323.33 - 90.29$ = 233.04$
