Me Time!

My correction…shoes returned can be for refund. If not then we can arrange to go to outlets for exchange. So far I only buy from 1 shop. I buy those already ‘outdated’ older stocks…cheaper and with quality. The leather can stand the time but the glue I m not sure haha.

I only buy engineered/manufactured stuff (eg. phones, detergent, cereal) online. I never buy groceries like fruits and vegetables or meat because you KNOW they will always be giving you their oldest stock.


When I go to the grocery, I always dig out the items at the back of the shelves because they always place the oldest ones in front. I could pick and inspect each fruit for defects.

Very ngiao hor?

Fruits I dont buy coz I would like to choose and don't like then get bruised. Actually so far the veg from Redmart is very good. They packed in plastic bags separately.

Frozen meat so far ok expiry date is long enough. Fresh meat fm Redmart will always at least 3days including of delivery.

I thought only middle-aged aunties did that? I do that only if I'm buying in advance and intend them to last for a while. For things that I'm going to eat fairly soon, or that I will freeze, I will take the ones in front - otherwise they might get thrown away and that contributes to food waste!

I do inspect fresh produce for defects - my opinion is that shops should discount produce with defects. And I do buy the discount packs of less-than-perfect fruits if they aren't too bad.

Even if I can get a refund, then I have look again! Maybe it's because I tend to only buy shoes to replace old ones, and have a low inventory of footwear. And the wait is too long to buy shoes online - often, when I buy footwear, it means that I need to replace them very soon! I would love to buy online and just repeat the same models, but I find that old models get discontinued by the time I want to replace. There is 1 pair of sandals from Bata though which I find really comfortable - I managed to buy them 3 times over several years, and now they have started selling them again! Those I would buy online, but when I saw them in a store recently, I bought a pair straightaway. Hope they will still have them when I next need to replace my sandals (which will be in about a year's time).

We buy mainly pork, sometimes lamb/mutton. Seafood only fish & prawn but not as frequent coz dds like pork/mutton more. Chicken buy kampong C. fm ntuc but getting lesser frequency nowadays coz dds don't quite like chicken. If buy bulk then we usually got it from Omni & Jordon. If Redmart think KSP? Whichever on promo coz only 1 or 2 packets.

I have weakness for shoes, easily tempted..no good no good. We only have 2 feet.
